Fifteen minute matches
Double header as teammates
September 18, 2016
UEFA Champions League 99-00
Glasgow Rangers 8 v Lazio 9
Actua Soccer 3
Lazio 3 v The Lords of London 6
We win both games, but it is tight, and we sort of goofed off in the first game with the 'keeper' goal attempts...

Uncle Chuck mentioned an accordion sound on the UEFA game; yes it is a background sound on the UEFA game.
We have not played teammates in years. There will possibly be more matches in the future. Both games are far more difficult to play in regard to gameplay and controller gamepad when multiple players are involved. It becomes more difficult to check opponents and control the controller.
'Bent' from the second match, on Actua Soccer 3, has now been replaced on the custom team. His play was way 'Bent' out of shape and he even looked physically awkward out there.
Chuck did fine, although he did slide tackle me for one of the goals against...

Amazon.com Karajan CD review excerpts

1969

'This is a tough one to call. Admittedly, the sound quality of Erato's recording of Rostropovich performing the Dvorak Cello Concerto and the Tchaikovsky Rocco Variations is still better than Deutsche Grammophon's digital image bit remastered version with Rostropovich accompanied by Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic' ---

'This is a beautiful recording, but I cannot listen to it on my stereo unless I constantly adjust the volume, up for the cello, down for the full orchestra. If I leave the volume at a level where the full orchestra will not be too loud, then I miss everything that makes this recording really special. But if I leave the volume where I can hear the cello clearly, then the full orchestra is painfully loud. Just be aware, if you are not an audiophile, this CD may not be right for you.' ---

'I found this CD to be an absolute delight! From opening to closing measure of both the Dvorak cello concerto and the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations, cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Herbert von Karajan, team up to establish a splendid musical dialog. The cello concerto, one of Dvorak's greatest masterpieces, is at the same time warm, passionate and lyrical.'---
With most of my classic recordings there are volume changes. These are usually live recordings and are not necessarily corrected with studio edits which will be found with rock and jazz productions. I expect volume variation, more so than with live rock or jazz because of the the larger and more diverse classical orchestra, instrument wise.
I have now two Karajan conducted albums and I enjoy the depth of the orchestration, for one.
