with their contents completely inaccessible. Having failed to notice the handful of missing albums from my collection — I only realised today because I noticed that I could only find one CDs worth of Die Meistersinger — I've finally fixed the problem. And in the process, I've found some missing gems.
I've found a live recording of Furtwängler conducting Brahms 3 made in 1959, Simon Rattle's CBSO recording of Szymanowsky's lush King Roger, Schnittke's piano quintet, and Phillippe Herreweghe's quite excellent recordings of Monteverdi's a capella masses, all of which I'd forgotten I'd got. Plus, operas by Wagner and Mozart — Die Meistersinger and Die Entführung respectively — which I knew had gone AWOL and which I'd been missing for a while.
