How about the least cherished 10 CDs?

*   Itzhak Perlman plays bach violin concertos
*   Ghoostly Psalmes  (Spelling?)
*   Brandenburg Concertos 1,3,4 by Benjamin Britten
*   Arthur Fiedler: Prokofiev - Peter & The Wolf

[BTW, there's a version of Peter & the Wolf that I remember from my youth
that I simply adored, but I can't for the life of me recall a single thing
about except that the narrator was amazing.  It was not David Bowie, nor
Alec Guinness.  All I remember is the phrase 'swallowed her up --alive!' or
words to that effect, in a very impressive, low voice.  Not a lot to go on,
eh? I'm so frustrated I could cry.  It was an old LP or possibly even a 10"
record.]

*   Dame Edna Everage (?) Peter & The Wolf
*   Trevor Pinnock et Cie: Brandenburgs 1, 3, 5.  (I have the full set,
      that's why.)
*   Yehudi Menuhin Playing the Brahms violin concerto.  Kubelik, or maybe
      de Burgos (I wanted the mono version with Furtwangler.)
*   Maria Tipo playing Bach.
*   Fritz Reiner/Chicago: Also Sprach Zarathustra
*   George Szell/Cleveland: Mozart Symphonies 40, 41,?
*   Beecham/RPO  Messiah - - I should have been satisfied with the
      Highlights.  The lowlights are overwhelming.

Available for loan: Klemperer's Bach Matthew Passion.  One week max.
(should get you through the first few bars.)

P.S.  How about CDs you ordered multiple copies of because you forgot what
you already owned?
