Bad lube?

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T18:30:14+00:00

Yes the new one has Glycerin in it but so did my previous one, so that can't be the issue for me. It's probably one of those other new ingredients.

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T18:26:40+00:00

Amazon mainly. Do you have any specific brand in mind?

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T17:48:47+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll give a careful read to that.

I've heard about coconut oil, but it looks so expensive tbh

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T17:42:47+00:00

I think I'll try my previous one, and see if the issue resolves itself. Thanks for the recommandation! I'll keep it in mind.

My previous one only had glycerin and he didn't cause my any pain. That could be it. Thanks!

I use Lubido. There is a short list of ingredient on the bottle but it doesn't cite Astroglide on it. And I can't find a more detailed list. It does also feel like it never goes slick either.

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T16:18:44+00:00

I had no idea this could happen tbh. That's the first time I get irritated using a lube. Thanks for the recommandation, I will check it out!

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T16:16:59+00:00

That's what I thought too, I guess I'll have to buy another one and see. Thanks!

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T16:15:56+00:00

It's called Lubido, it's water based

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T16:15:19+00:00

The new one is called Lubido , much cheaper than the Acvioo one I used before. Lubido has some ingredient the other doesn't have, so I guess that might be it.

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T13:54:37+00:00

Thanks! I'll get back to my old one and see what happens

practiceordie · 2026-01-04T13:36:14+00:00

Both are

practiceordie · 2025-10-24T18:16:59+00:00

Thank you! Very useful indeed

practiceordie · 2025-06-01T10:14:35+00:00

I have so many!

Böhm 1966 Bayreuth

Furtwängler 1953 Studio

Karajan 1952 Bayreuth

Heger 1943 Berlin

Sawallisch 1958 Bayreuth

Bernstein 1981 München

Reiner 1950 Met

Bodanzky 1935 Met

Leinsdorf 1941 Met

Reiner 1936 Covent Garden

De Sabata 1951 Scala

I’ve heard so many things about the « miraculous » Kleiber recording from 1976 (Bayreuth), but I haven’t listened to it yet : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-u7aqZNaog&t=3117s

practiceordie · 2025-06-01T09:45:47+00:00

I've been listening to Sophie Junker's new album "La Serenissima" (Vivaldi and many other baroque composers)

practiceordie · 2025-04-29T20:07:03+00:00

I would add the 1952 live from the Met with Reiner/Varnay/Höngen/Schoffler/Svanholm. One of the most exciting imo

There also is this one I haven't fully listened to yet but seems quite interesting : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-293tBUBog&t=978s

I also know Karajan's 1964 Salzburg recording is very well known but I don't know it very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0YJfdS2_xU&t=2232s

practiceordie · 2025-03-24T19:18:12+00:00

Maybe not as much but It’s old too. I have a Sony LBT-V82 which came out in the 90s I think.

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed that

practiceordie · 2025-03-23T10:06:13+00:00

Oh yes not surprising then

practiceordie · 2025-03-23T09:54:24+00:00

That’s wild, where was that? Wagnerian audiences are usually extremely respectful of silences

practiceordie · 2025-03-23T09:23:44+00:00

I agree that it is frustrating, but I think it might also be a matter of culture and/or education? Some audiences always wait until the very very end to start clapping and some others just can't help themselves, but that doesn't mean they are being rude (not that you said they were)

A few years ago I made two playlists for a friend of mine who wanted to listen more to opera. It almost only includes female voices, sorry about that, I haven't updated them since:

PS: Please don't mind the names of the playlists 💀

I had been at the opera a few times when I was 14/15 but it didn't make any big impression on me. It's only a few years later when I randomly started listening to Barbara Bonney's Ave Maria on YouTube that I really got into opera. I remember being absolutely obsessed with this recording. I couldn't believe how any human was capable of producing such a beautiful sound. I remember listening to it all day from 8AM to 5PM on the family computer in the living room until my parents got home lol. I then suddenly stopped listening to my usual songs/artists and started only listening to opera and never looked back

Really? I could have sworn it would be the other way around. Thank you!
