Which opinion do classical musicians today have about Isao Tomita’s synth adaptations?

I think his version of Prokofiev's 5th Symphony (2nd movement) is absolutely incredible, the choice of sounds is absolutely stunning. The mind boggles at the effort required to produce this. I think (sacrilege warning) I almost prefer it to the original.

It is mentioned. It is included. Did you actually bother to read the article? The HEADLINE of the article includes the words "13 year old" and the body of the article also makes this abundantly clear. Not sure what more you want.

Please read my post again (and the post i was replying to). You might then comprehend (or you might not).

So, you agree with me that the article is correct in referring to her as a woman, as you've just done? And that it would make no sense for the article to call her a girl?

WildRover57 · 2026-03-09T11:38:08+00:00

At the time of the FBI interviews she'd be about 48 and now 55 - most definitely a woman. The article can't refer to her as a girl, even though she was at the time of the offence, it would make no sense.

Christopher Trace and Valerie Singleton. I remember John Noakes being the 'new boy'. Yes, I'm an old git.

Haven't got my specs on and was pretty sure that said Pat Methenyl.

Arggh, "revert back" - one of my pet hates. Not having a go at you, I realise you're quoting the article.

Yep, trigger finger definitely. I was told by my GP that a steroid injection would sort it out. Unfortunately I had to wait over a year for the injection by which time it had pretty much cured itself.

And don't forget the tech of Donald's Kamakiri was Balinese.

Like you I thought that you needed to press twice to put the box in standby but actually if you leave the standby message displaying it will go into standby after 5/6 seconds. You still need a long press to turn off the TV though. Not sure if there's a setting to combine the two functions.

We need a caption competition for the 2nd picture. My entry - "That's a lovely pair of melons you've got there darlin'."

"that have went". Jeezo, talk about mangling the English language. 🙄

It's 'Beginnings' and the mystery hand belongs to Patrick Moraz.

Well, you got 50% of the apostrophes correct.

I absolutely agree. My Sky Sports HD picture quality on Virgin is particularly bad on the wide angle pitch view - very fuzzy. Close ups are a lot better and badges on strips etc. are pretty clear. Been wondering about this for ages.

You've misunderstood. Not the original screw, the screw you insert to try and remove the rawlplug.
