 That's with Boult and the RPO in the Dvorak and Sargent and the LPO in the Saint-Saëns. Via the dreaded Caimen. |

Found I could pick this up for a cool $30, and resistance was futile:  Can't wait to see how the cover relates to the story:  . . . or, even if it does not, what do I care?  |

That's quite a cover, and I can't imagine what it has to do with the plot. Some great music though, and the young lady is a fox. |

Dvorak - Piano Concerto & The Golden Spinning Wheel - yes, I know, the PC is certainly not considered his 'best' work in the 'concerto' genre, but a 'cheapo' from BMG, and my first listen to this composition. Magnard - Symphonies 2 & 4 - already have the Nos. 1 & 3 by Sanderling & the Malmo SO - just felt the need to have the other two (have not given then a listen yet, but a little disappointed that the 2-CD set comes w/ only about 40 mins. per disc - price is that of 1 CD, but might have been done differently?). Gernsheim - Complete Symphonies 2-CD Arte Nova bargin set recommended by others (I hope! If not, don't know why I bought this composer who is unknown to me -    ). Mahler - The Symphonies w/ Chailly; 12 CD box set - the BIG ONE of the group!  Own all of Mahler's symphonies w/ various composers, but wanted a 'box' - plenty of discussion here in a number of different threads; of course, no 'ideal' choice but this one seem like one of the 'top' ones to consider, plus again a great deal through the BMG club for me! Now - a lot of listening to do over the Easter weekend - hope my bunnies are up to it!

Yeah, what's up with that? I see quite a few CDs, like Thielemann's Bruckner 5th, where there are more than 80 minutes of music per disc, so it's not like they can't fit the two Magnard symphonies on 1 CD. |

Yes, irritating, but the price was right - just checked my other Magnard CD, 77 mins. (33" + 44" for the other 2 symphonies); I guess they might have 'squeezed' all four on 2 CDs (but might have needed to speed up the tempos and/or eliminate some repeats etc?).  |

 Yeah, I know, don't get all excited... I picked this up for the extensive rehearsal sequences, and because I was curious to see Karajan at work in his prime -- all of the DVDs I have of him are from his last few years. I've never heard him in Schumann 4, but his Beethoven 5th has always been my favorite of all versions -- the highlight of all 4 of his CD LvB cycles IMO. |

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

If that is directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot you're in for some unusual orchestral seating. |

The Gernsheim will be quite a surprise to you Dave, t'was me that bought it, when it was released, so you probably saw the posting. But dont worry they are awfully good. |

Love fires from both your eyes, your hands shoot music's grace,
With your looks you rob their sight, their ears you stop with song,
Poor men! Pursued from every side, the hunt will not last long.
