Music Recommendations: Two More CDs

February 7, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Sing O Ye Heavens is Moravian music.  It is rare to find a CD where I rate 5 stars to nine (9) songs.  The artists are the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park.  Not only is the singing beautiful, but the under-girding orchestra will give your subwoofer a workout.

Mendelssohn’s Elijah and Eternity And A Day

January 31, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Mendelssohn’s Elijah is my primary classical music recommendation for this week.  Normally, I’m not a stickler for a particular rendition, but in this case I highly recommend you go with Robert Shaw.  In my mind, it is an outstanding recording of this melodious oratorio.

How Much Are You Leaving With Your Financial Advisor?

December 17, 2015 By Lowell Herr

  Spurred by this Seeking Alpha article, I decided to check the calculations and run an analysis on my own where the fees are not as high and the return is more in line with what one might expect over the next ten to fifteen years.  After checking the Seeking Alpha author figures I found […]
