Hogwood doing Vivaldi is not my "cup of tea", but this might!

Q

[Moonfish]

Would that be completely (or mostly) in the Oiseau Lyre Baroque box?

Not sure. I do not have any information on which specific disks that are included in the box. The Am.de site stated that it has 17 disks. Chances are that there is plenty of overlap but it is a question mark at this point in time.  I am waiting for L'oiseau Lyre to release another big box (Early/Renaissance music). Perhaps it won't be until 2016?

The transverse flute was especially popular at the French court; decisive impulses for the instrument's further technical and sonorous development came from France. A genuine "boom" for this instrument developed, initiated by the publication of Hotteterre's Principles de la Flute Traversiere in 1707. At the same time, Italian tastes in music found their way into the metropolis of Paris. Many travelling virtuosos and child prodigies came to the city as a result of the founding of the public series Concerts spirituels in 1725; they were enthusiastically received by a large audience consisting of members of the bourgeoisie and the nobility. The French flute virtuosos – especially Blavet and Buffardin – seized on this trend and appeared in public with Italian-inspired flute concertos.

With his new CD, Frank Theuns and his ensemble Les Buffardins offer an overview of the development of the late-baroque transverse flute repertoire in France, introducing concertos by such great composers of the age as Jean-Marie Leclair, Michel Blavet, Pierre Gabriel Buffardin and Jacques Christophe Naudot.



An original programme with which the Swiss pianist Olivier Cavé succeeds in summarizing two universes that might, however, a priori appear remote: Domenico Scarlatti vs. Joseph Haydn. In the same album, Olivier Cavé confronts two complementary visions of the keyboard. 'With this project, I wanted to connect these two composers,' he tells us, 'for, when playing Haydn, I always had the feeling that he was familiar with Scarlatti's music.'

...and a rare Alia Vox CD that does NOT include Jordi Savall:



The programme offered by Enrike Solinís and his ensemble brings together all the key elements Alia Vox aim to make a hallmark of this new DIVERSA collection: the discovery of neglected early Basque music - performed with respect for the historical practices and traditions of the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. Thanks to the talent and sensitivity of the singers and musicians of EUSKAL BARROKENSEMBLE directed by Enrike Solinís, we can marvel at these musical gems full of vitality and emotion which distil the essence of the musical culture of the ancient Basque Country.

Q

How about this one?

[asin]B00Q2MK9II[/asin]

Saw it in my shop, but am not sure about Hogwood's Bach.

[kishnevi]

These too (four, five and eight discs):



Guess all of the Mendelssohn and Haydn is in the bigger "Symphony Edition", but the Schubert contains more music (as does the Beethoven).


(Sorry for the huge pics, thought forum software would make them smaller automatically, doesn't seem to work here.)

I have these.  What do the new sets have these ones do not...the new Mendelssohn has one more CD, the Schubert three more, the Haydn the same number as the older set.



Whatever format you get, go for the Schubert and Haydn with no reservations. The Mendelssohn is less outstanding.

ETA Amazon actually lists the contents already!  Unusual for them regarding prereleases.  Mendelssohn has the VC, Haydn a horn concerto,  Schubert  some choral music, orchestrated lieder,  and music from Rosamunde.

I would definitely prefer his Bach (I see they included CPE as well!) over his Vivaldi. There are quite a few nices recordings in there,  like the keyboard concertos with Rousset.

An all-too-rare new recording from Polyphony and Stephen Layton presents highlights from the choral repertoire by four twentieth-century American giants: Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland and Randall Thompson. Framed by Thompson's understated favourites Alleluia and Fare Well, the programme includes Bernstein's Missa brevis, Copland's early set of four motets, and—of course—Barber's inimitable Agnus Dei.

Lasso: Missa super Dixit Joseph & motets - Cinquecento

Grieg's sole Cello Sonata has long been a favourite of performers and audiences, if not of musical theorists, and here receives an impassioned vote of confidence from Steven Isserlis and Stephen Hough at the head of a programme which takes the listener forwards in time to Hough's own Sonata for cello and piano left hand and back to Mendelssohn's ever-popular Cello Sonata No 2. A spirit of passionate romanticism unifies the whole.

Debussy, Bartók & Prokofiev: Études    - Garrick Ohlsson (piano)

Looking forward (finally!) to a new recording of the Ornstein Piano Quintet--an amazing piece. The Ornstein piano music (on Toccatta Classics) is also excellent. Very underrated composer in my view.

And those performers - holy cow, an all-star cast!

Sorry I wasn't more clear: I do have the "Symphony Edition" - just recently played the Mendelssohn from it and enjoyed it a lot! The Schubert discs are next to the player, but it might take me a while. Guess I won't go for any of the new boxes because of additional material, but waiting until more details are out.

Same for the Oiseau Lyre/Hogwood one. I've got the Baroque box here, but haven't really started exploring it ... but I guess I will be in for the other (two, I think?) Oiseau Lyre boxes that have been announced.

[Madiel]

I've got my eye on this Brahms series in the long term. Maybe they'll do a box? They've done it for quite a few of their similar "complete songs" projects.

Wowzer!

Cross-posted from the composer sub-forum:

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ernst Krenek thread has been bumped  , this new release (scheduled for Early July) seems worth mentioning:




It's good to have a recording of Krenek's completion of Schubert's Reliquie sonata. The cover also says this is "Volume 1" (but I have other Toccata CDs where "volume 2" has not appeared yet, even if "volume 1" was released several years ago  )....
