A few composer that I had not the honour of really knowing, so to redress this situation I ordered a few.

I have had my eye on the Holbrooke disc - if only CPO was as cheap in the UK as it is in Germany

[Sergeant Rock]

In today's mail music by Joseph Eybler (1765-1846): Requiem in C minor, Christmas Oratorio, and Symphonies 1 & 2.

That's a great recording right there. I own two versions of Finzi's Clarinet Concerto this one you have pictured and one on Nimbus Recordings with William Boughton conducting. Lovely music. I think one of the most remarkable scores Finzi ever wrote for orchestra was the Cello Concerto, which I understand he was dying as he wrote it.

Can't you order with JPC?

[Gurn Blanston]

Ordered from MDT today. They actually claim to have in stock these 3, volumes 1, 3 & 4. I have volume 2, so finding someone who actually stocks 5 & 6 remains the challenge! 



And then, the new Clementi already! Digipak or fat jewel case? That is the question!

I just bought some early Schoenberg recordings with Boulez that I didn't own...

I guess that I dislike the idea of being forced to create a large order to make the shipping work out - although anything coming in from overseas will be expensive regardless.

That's why I like MDT; 5£ for S & H from England to Texas is very nice. Knock off the VAT and you almost get a deal!

Little splurge due to Hyperion "please buy me" offer.

I can hardly praise these discs highly enough - the music is exceptional, the recordings ditto. I love this label

Gurn - just received V.4 of that set (came in a plastic jewel box, i.e. 3 discs in a 2-CD size) - so, is V.5 back to the fold-out or in plastic? 

Also, concerning those Haydn Divertimentos, currently I own the sets below (Klocker a 4-CD set; the other a single disc) - the Hoboken numbers are a little confusing for many of these works (believe much were early compositions) - can you clarify how the sets you ordered relate to the ones I own?  Thanks for any comments, as usual - Dave

Dave,
Yeah, on the Clementi, I'm expecting the chubby jewel case, so it will probably be some entirely different sort of packaging never seen before...   And hell, I just got the Vol 4 last month and had to pre-order and wait (from late January), so they didn't waste any time this go'round.

Those disks I am working on now were called 'Divertimenti' by Haydn, thus the name on the disks there, but you, me and most of mankind today would call them String Trios. 99% of them are for 2 violins and bass or cello, one is for violin, viola and bass. They are contained in Hob V (divertimentos for string trio (excluding Baryton)), and are the rarest of all recorded Haydn works. I have frequently recommended Camerata Berolinensis, but their series seems to have stopped after only 2 disks ( ). There are 21 authentic trios in Hoboken, and 7 more that have been authenticated since. All 28 of them are included in the Vienna Philharmonia Trio set. The issue is finding them. Camerata Records (Japan) is not a widely distributed label, sad to say...

For 2,99 euro a piece, I could not let this go, right?

I would bet digipack; they did the same with Haydn's string quartets, first fat jewel cases and digipacks at the middle of the road. BTW, few days ago I thought it's quite impressive how Clementi's image is changing these days. I believe all those discs from Brilliant, Naxos and Chandos (without to mention some outstanding single contributions, as for instance Colladant, Alvini or Staier) are building a completely new image of this composer, so neglected in the past, when he was merely considered as the author of some good piano exercises.
