Definitely you're are not reading our threads devoted to Bach (or harpsichord music in general).

Thanks! That's info which was not on the cover . . . .

Indeed.  It is a double-manual French harpsicord, built by Henri Hemsch in 1751 and restored by
Anthony Sidey and Frédéric Bal. (I was just modifying the previous message, but you beat me to it! )

Bought for peanuts, arrived within a day of purchasing and no shipping charge - this label is a really good seller.

[asin]B000AOCAVI[/asin]

Their stuff is very cheap on Amazon marketplace too.

This is an excellent choice.  I bought this CD from Presto Classical a few months ago ...

[Coopmv]

This is a real bargain I ordered this evening from an Amazon US MP vendor for under $7, shipping included.  The CD is going for over £13 on Amazon UK.  This is another excellent addition to my early music collection ...

[Coopmv]

I do hope that one was cheap, beacause this set that includes the same recordings is pretty cheap as well!

Q

If you can get a recording originally released on L'oiseau Lyre brand-new at a good price, get it.  New L'oiseau Lyre recordings are increasingly difficult to find, as the label appears to have been phased out by UniversalMusic.  I treasure all my L'oiseau Lyre recordings, on LP, CD and open-reels.

A backorder arrived today from ArkivMusic:


And a visit to Barnes and Noble's b&m yielded the Bohm/Vienna Philharmonic Beethoven symphony cycle in the form of three double CDs (cycle number 10 for me), and this Palestrina CD from the Sixteen, which is centered on Assumpta est Maria--the mass, the motet, and the offertory, with three Song of Songs settings and four other Marian hymns.   Apparently the start of an ongoing series devoted to Palestrina

Easily my favourite recording of that concerto.

This time I could not resist. The complete organ works from Buxtehude, well almost, on 6 CD'S for 8 euro's, played on some beautiful organ's, by a fine musician. Why this lowered into a give away price I don't know, but I snapped it up, before it will vanish. I have listen to a organ concerto yesterday in the Martini Church in Groningen, amongst the compositions was a piece by Buxtehude played on a Schnittger organ by Geert Baak. Since this organ is enlarged, Baak opened many more registers as should have been done with this composer, which resulted in a bombastic sounding work, come to think the whole concert was lethargic.

Ray, this is my favorite Boulez-led Schoenberg recording:

Absolutely first-rate performances of first-rate music.

Damn you people...

About one week ago, I bought a few Melodiya LPs at the antiquarian market next to the Pidvalna Street in Lviv, Ukraine - that incredibly undervisited historical city. It was my second stay there. Record shops and antiquarian shops have a rather modest classical selection, and the LPs were mostly rather ordinary. Got them for 5-10 UAH each, about 0,5 - 1 Euros:

Beethoven: Sonatas 5,6,27 - Yudina
S-Saens:2.Piano Cto; Schumann: Carnaval /Sokolov (from the 70s)
Rozhdestvensky performs melodramas by Arensky,Strauss, Schubert, Satie, Jan Klusak a.o.
Rachmaninov: Vespers op.37 /Polyansky, Ministry of Culture Choir (he made at least 3 recordings and I have another of his as well)
Schubert: 8.Symphony; Weber: Oberon /Mravinsky, the Vienna recordings. The symphony seems very well played
Piano works by Anatoly Alexandrov and S.Razorenov /Victor Bunin

Getting into some Minimalism, Conor? Cool, that Steve Reich/John Adams disc with Edo de Waart is great. Are these your first purchases of this kind of music?

[prémont]

I tried to resist, but I couldn't.

Do you know if this is available from a European dealer?
It will cost me a fortune to get it from the US (import tax and all that).
