New Releases

[Maestro267]

I thought I recognized this album cover. It's a zoomed-in version of the painting BIS used for a volume of the Villa-Lobos Choros.

Wow, January is a banner month for the Stravinsky Violin Concerto, competing recordings from two of the greatest violinists alive...

[Todd]

Now that's a program.

I've been listening to the Brahms op 26 piano quartet - it seems a rather better transfer than the CD release.  There's a Vol 2 if you search for Heimbach on Presto, it's all streaming.

Tchaikovski/Rodzentevski

My Russian is next to non-existent, but I can make out the word "ballet". The cover art would fit Swan Lake. Is that what it is?

JANUARY





This one is noteworthy for the unusual instrumentations.

Septet: clarinet, horn, bassoon, violin, viola, cello, double bass
Serenade: woodwind quintet
String Quartet: violin, viola, cello, double bass

Exactly: Lebedinoe ezero, ie Swan Lake.

If this is this old recording hardly a "new" release......



which was the first complete "Russian" performance I knew 40+ years ago which latterly turned up on this RCA twofer..... I know the orchestras are listed as different but I'm pretty sure it is the same version(?)



I love it as a performance - those old blarey soviet brass players!

Will we exclude reissue?Furthermore, a good remastering, especially in melodiya discs, is often necessary

[Atriod]

Will we exclude reissue?

Please keep posting them, plenty of people post reissues in this thread. The original Melodiya 2 CD set is extremely rare and not everyone plays LPs.

[Brian]

Speaking of reissues, here's a new view of the 78 CD complete Schiff/Decca box...original jackets, long box rather than big square box, jumbo booklet.



Supposed to be late January/February now, and significantly more expensive (250 euros) than the usual 80ish CD box. I feel like the market's set itself around $2 a disc for these Big Boxes.

Another instalment of this Series from CPO.

Apparently this was released on Nov. 30th, and yet is listed on Amazon as unavailable. A bit confusing.
