Gratuitous Musickal Posting (TM)

Perhaps it's fortuitous, given that I was just posting about country music, but the local classical station is now running Schubert's Symphony No. 9 in C major (the "Great"). It makes my father cringe every time I say this, but despite its many flaws (and it certainly has them), I love this piece.

Not only this, the station is playing my recording of it - a performance on the London label by Sir Georg Solti and the Vienna Philharmonic. This is one of the best performances of any piece of music I think I've ever heard recorded. But then I've always been an ardent admirer of Solti's control and clarity.
