much better than the first fit you posted in those shorts. This one is professional hustler status.

Price drop on both items. Very cheap now.

Two items for sale

Shipping in Europe is included. For overseas, please contact me.

1. cotton & linen shorts suit size 46

I bought this suit in a shop in Zürich, Switzerland called Fidelio. It was made under the shop's own label.

The fabric is a very fine black and white which looks like grey from a distance - see pics. It's a beautiful suit, but I have never worn it - the preppy boy look doesn't work for me.

Therefore, it's as good as new. Only the shorts have been worn once; the pockets on the jacket are still sown together.

Condition: 10/10

size: 46 (with some extra room on the waist*)

fabric: 55% cotton, 45% linen

190 > 150USD

the above picture shows the shorts uncuffed.

I paid 630 USD for it last summer, but since this is not a known brand I'll have to let it go for cheap.

basic measurements:

waist: 39-42 cm *

shoulder to shoulder: 44,5 cm

pit to pit: 49 cm

arm length: 63 cm

total length of jacket: 76 cm

length of shorts when uncuffed: 54 cm

* there is a bit of elastic on the outer sides of the waist, which allows it to stretch a bit.

This is a jacket from Acne 2009. It's cut very slim, with short sleeves Tom Browne style. Hardly ever worn.

condition: 9/10

fabric: 100% wool

size:48

pit to pit:: 48 cm

shoulder to shoulder: 45 cm

sleeves: 62 cm

total length: 72 cm

price 100USD

that's a pretty list, and some pieces I don't know, like the Respighi piece, and the Chairman Dances.

I'm just a little concerned that a work like Götterdämmerungcould be a little too much for someone who is developing his taste in music. Actually, I think Wagners operas in full only work on stage. Sitting on the couch and listening to the Ring des Nibelungen is not something I would recommend.

And I love Ravels Shéhérazade too

Nice, haploid.

Its difficult to start . Maybe you can give a clue as to what you have been listening to already?

"classical" music spans nine centuries. It's very diverse; there are many different styles, eras, composers, just like there is a vast number of names for styles in pop music.

For me it started with Bach's Magnificat. Beware though: it all depends on a good recording. For Baroque, I wouldn't recommend anything older than 1980 because historically informed performance practice has changed (improved) so much since then.

But maybe you're more looking for that sensation of an overwhelming cloud of sound. Late Romantic does that very well. Richard Strauss for example; "Also sprach Zaratustra" or the Four Last Songs (find a Von Karajan recording), but I know that for newbies, romantic singers can be a bit too much at once.

A real beauty that somehow pops into my mind now is the overture from Wagner's Rheingold; the horns at the beginning are stunning.

And for a beginner, Neo-Romantic Górecki's symphony can be a good start.

If you want to get into singers a bit more: to overcome the language barrier, try finding Dawn Upshaw's recording of the aria "No word from Tom", from Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, I think it was conducted by Seiji Ozawa. It's what we call neoclassical, a sort of neo-Mozart. Listen to Mozart after that, and you'll hear the resemblance.

some other favorites of mine

Chamber music:

-String Quintet by Schubert, esp. the 2nd movement.

-All string quartets by Shostakovich.

-chansons Madécasses by Ravel

Orchestral works:

-piano concerts by Mozart

-all the above mentioned

Baroque:

-Bach's Brandenburger Concertos

-b minor mass by Bach: the Kyrie, Sanctus and the first Agnus Dei

-the opera l'Orfeo by Monteverdi (especially the opening toccata and the introduction scene. René Jacobs conducted a good one)

-Musikalische Exequien by Schutz (you need a decent recording of this; La Chapelle Royale made a good one)

Renaissance: this might not be your thing, but:

-all religious works by Josquin Des Prez, but there are so many bad recordings out there. Especially English groups are to be shunned.

-Jacob Obrecht

-Johannes Ockeghem

for contemporary music: this is harder since many works have not been recorded properly yet. I can tell you more about this if you want.

one last note: I personally think it helps the listening greatly if you are aware of the period and the country in which the music was written. It gives you an idea of the aesthetics of the time, and you can use this as a listening guide.

Have fun!

This is very good. One of your best imo!

Bump for the Bikkembergs boots.

I hate when my thinking gets too contrarian. No for the sake of no. No for the sake of I can make a stupid/cheap dig at whatever I'm thinking about and feign moral or intellectual superiority. Foolish, destructive non-thinking. Chuff chuff chuff.

It really isn't thinking, it's reacting, it's habit. Real thinking involves taking things seriously and taking responsibility, not sifting, labeling and blithely rejection. So maybe my real problem is laziness?

Your real problem is that you're living in the internet era.

the first pic makes me feel all warm inside.

i am tone deaf but i like to play the guitar and attempt to cover songs.
