I nearly pulled the trigger on the Barshai set of Shostakovich's symphonies too...but too early for that yet...  I'll discover through Bruckner first !!

Your first beginnings will be permanent house guests. Mark my words!

1st Symphony has the disc for itself and 5th disc has Finlandia, Valse, Night Ride, Swan and En Saga

[karlhenning]

Oof da ????  ???

Yes.  The excellent Blomstedt/San Francisco cycle, for instance, on four discs has the Valse triste and Tapiola as well as the seven symphonies.

They're both beautiful pieces;  there's no reason this needed to be five rather than four discs, is all.  Poor planning (or something).

And since I have three Sibelius cycles, and am not in the market for a fourth, price is no object  :-)

Well, that's better, Milos.  I don't know why neither Night Ride nor En Saga made the cover, though

Thanks for the clarification, Karl.

a mix of hits and misses when you start from scratch, but i can live with that

Drasko, i take it you have this set too then ? ...good starting point ?

[MishaK]

My booty for today...

Amazon has this for $30 off now, so I couldn't resist any longer:



I caught Respighi's Toccata for piano and orchestra the other day on the radio, so I was fascinated enough to continue my ongoing exploration of non-Pines respighi with these two:

Oof da ? 

You'll notice that it is often helpful to have a German or French or etc to English dictionary on hand in order to decipher some gentleman's posts around here.

Comprende? 

[Bunny]

Very nice, which wasn't something often said about Schippers with the NYPO.

Beethoven isn't work; he's pure pleasure and Hogwood is fun.
