New Releases

[Rinaldo]

Spring baroque fix:

  I don't believe this!! It seems that the Bach 2000 on Teldec is set to be repackaged and released in this new incarnation at around £300. The original set retailed at close to a £1000. I own the complete organ works ( Koopman) from this set and of course the illustrious sacred cantatas Leonhardt/Harnoncourt.

That's one big Bachx.

255 Pounds at MDT (w/o shipping). $320/325 at Amazon US and Deep Discount (w/o shipping, if any). I imagine it will get cheaper once it is released everywhere.

Are you sure all the cantatas are Leonhardt/Harnoncourt? It would make sense... but I think I noticed a couple Koopman Cantatas in there, as well. (At least the secular ones.)

The Leonhardt/Harnoncourt series didn'tinclude the secular stuff I think.

$299.99 USD at Arkivmusic, plus shipping, and if like me, you live in a state in which Arkiv must charge it, sales tax.  For me, because of the sales tax, that brings it up to just under Amazon's price, but if you live in a state where you don't need to pay the tax, that might make a difference.

Just found it for $259 at Importcds. Says that sale ends 30th of March. And it looks like they screwed up the shipping - not marked heavy, so shipping in US is just $1.49. Total of $260.78.

Thank your for the tip.  Although my checkbook is not so grateful

BTW, they also tacked on a handling charge of $1.50 so the actual total I'm paying is $262.28

Ironically, I have Alan Curtis playing the English and French Suites tonight for my listening, which is one of the performances in the box.

Its a marvelous bargain! Much better than that Haenssler thingy...

If only, if only. It's too late for me I'm afraid... Twenty years when I was just starting out on Bach this would heave been a Godsend. Now I already have on the shelves the Sacred cantatas by Leonhardt/Harnoncourt (bought in its 1st CD appearance at mid-price! ), Koopman's organ cycle, Wilson's WTC, and yes, also Curtis' Suites....

Q

[Opus106]

They should do what they did with the 2000 Edition and release separate volumes. I'd take the (non-organ) keyboard works in a heartbeat.

  In my post I said the SACRED cantatas.  I do not know who features on the secular ones.

[Karl Henning]

Aye, and since Jens said At least the secular ones, I took him as asking whether all the [sacred] cantatas are Leonhardt/Harnoncourt.

[Opus106]

Aye, and since Jens said At least the secular ones, I took him as asking whether all the [sacred] cantatas are Leonhardt/Harnoncourt.

Or on the reasonable assumption that Jens missed the S-word in marvin's post, it could just as easily be interpreted as his asking whether all the cantatas (as he did ask about "all the cantatas") are by L&H. He doubts that this is the case, since he read Koopman's name listed as the conductor of some ("at least the secular ones") of the cantatas.


[Aside: I'm sure Renfield would have made a better post of that had he some minutes to spare in between attending to more productive things. ]

As I dip into the the "Haenssler thing" I'm finding plenty of good music making. 

WARNING! ANDRE RIEU ALERT!
I did notice in the press packet writeups that among the musicians listed  is   Andre Rieu (he's among the performers of one of the earliest recordings, c. 1960).  So now I will be able to say with a very straight face that I do indeed have an Andre Rieu recordings.

Hah!

  Ok just to clarify ALL OF THE SACRED CANTATAS ARE LEONHARDT/HARNONCOURT. More importantly they are brilliant performances. HIP, all boys choir, with a few  exceptions where women were brought in to fill some of the soprano roles. On the whole these sacred cantatas recordings are deliciously raw and earnest.

That might be the father of the now-(in)famous André Rieu.... André Rieu sr. (1917-1992) was conductor of a provincial orchestra, the Maastrichts Stedelijk Orkest (Maastricht City Orchestra), later transformed into the Limburgs Symphonie Orkest (Limburg Symphony Orchestra).

He also conducted a nice Haydn Trumpet Concerto. On Sony, methinks.
