Music many would never hear, pleasant listening.
This CD has on it music which people like myself who don't play video games wouldn't hear. I first heard music from video games on BBC Radio 3 a few months ago, and was impressed. It was comparable with good orchestral music for films. Looking for a CD I found this one online and ordered it and played it. This was something different. Not orchestral, jollier more popular tunes. However the performance is good, the music well crafted, and although it wasn't what I was looking for, I enjoyed it a lot.

Original, profound, mind-blowing, important
The subject matter of this book by a mathematician, scientist, philosopher, is unusual, coming from a scientific background. It is really about the limitations of materialism. It is also about what is beyond material. Science itself, even modern quantum mechanics, might leave room for the subjective, for beauty, art, spirituality, but it never directly addresses any of those things, only indirectly through statistical analysis.This book deals with both sides of the boundary. The world itself, reality itself, isn't limited to what science says it is. In fact science only deals with what is measurable by human beings. It would be arrogant to the point of insanity to believe that this is the whole show. Reality is almost all beyond science, outside its scope even, let alone somehow contained by it. A so called theory of everything might be proposed. But even if it works as well as quantum mechanics, standing all experimental tests, it is still only a theory. Imagine a vast balance. Put reality on one pan, put science, quantum mechanics, relativity special and general, on the other. It would weigh literally nothing by comparison.Theory is one thing, reality is another. Theory is a construction of thought. Reality is not. Theory is finite, though it might contain a symbol ( ∞ ) to stand for it.
And yet this book, though it was well received when it was published, has since been virtually ignored. Only recently has it been cited and understood and appreciated, by a few thinkers and philosophers and scientists and oddballs like myself.

Ego-free faithful trustworthy performance of works of genius.
Beethoven, what a composer. I think we will be hearing from him again. I reckon he will catch on with the general classical-music-loving public worldwide. I hear he is thinking of writing symphonies and concertos, even an opera. The piano sonatas are superb, and show a development from his early Haydnesque-style to something utterly original, pushing the medium to its limits and beyond, and sounding even to 21st century ears amazingly modern. His late sonatas are out of this world. And this set is superbly presented by pianist Alfred Brendel, who puts the music first, a minimum of performer quirks, he gets inside his Beethoven, so that his Beethoven is our Beethoven. Beethoven is unique, one of the truly greatest composers of all time.
