Anyone else enjoy this William Schuman piece from 1955?

Yes.  But even more, I love the Kirchner concerto.  Good choice of CD you've made there!

Have not ventured into the PC yet, but will soon.     This one is not a cd.  Old Columbia six-eye lp.  I believe the Schuman piece with Ormandy is on cd, but OOP:

It is here, but under another's baton:

Nope, I was already interested in these recordings and you posting the Schuman Albany recording (w/ Miller conducting) prodded me into buying it, then I heard the audio samples and it was all over.

What YouTube video did you link? I must have missed it.

Just ordered:

[kishnevi]

Thread duty:  purchased the Hogwood/AAM recording of Haydn's Orfeo ed Euridice (with Bartoli and D'arcangelo) from an Amazon MP vendor this morning for $12 plus shipping.  I've already received an email claiming it's been shipped.  Well, some Amazon vendors really are that quick....

And guess what?  This seller really was that quick.  Ordered Thursday morning,  sent Thursday PM (and the postmark verifies it),  arrived in my mailbox today--meaning,  within 48 hours of my order.  Probably the quickest I've ever received an Amazon MP order.

And for less than $16 US, too.  Vendor goes under the name "Orpheus", if anyone wants to mark it down for future reference. 

Conor--
Although I don't have any of the other recordings on that Ligeti 2-for,   I do have the String Quartets as an individual CD, and think it's a very good performance.

A few goodies.  The Leonhardt set should be most enjoyable.  The FFG Liszt is to tide me over until his next LvB set comes out.  Stewart Goodyear's LvB gets a shot, too.

How do you manage to get Sunday delivery?

How do you manage to get Sunday delivery?

I didn't.  Don't know what your time settings for the forum are, but I posted it yesterday--Saturday the 14th, at 8:10:49 PM to be precise (according to the forum).  Your query, by comparison, was posted at 3:12:04 PM today (Sunday the 15th) according to the forum--just under two hours before I post this.  (I set my forum settings to show my local time, US Eastern (Daylight) Time.)

ETA: except I just noticed the forum is showing US Eastern Standard Time, not Daylight time. Bah! So my respone to your query was posted an hour after you made it, more or less.

Just dropped $200 on my first CD orders since October 2011. The Dvorak/Supraphon was from Amazon UK, and everything else is from ongoing sales at MDT.



Lavinia Meijer, harp; the Prazak Quartet play Schubert's Quintet D956



Ivan Fischer: Mahler 4, Dvorak 7; Paavo Jarvi: Martinu 2, Dvorak 9



Pacifica Quartet plays Shosty quartets 1-8 plus Miaskovsky and Prokofiev; Amsterdam Sinfonietta plays Dvorak, Haas, and Schulhoff



Sudbin's Scarlatti; Rysanov's Bach; Biondi's Vivaldi



Amsterdam Sinfonietta plays bits from Mahler's 5th and 10th, plus Mahler's string orchestra transcription of Beethoven's string quartet op 95; Neumann conducts Dvorak's nine symphonies, plus the Symphonic Variations, three overtures, and four symphonic poems


Plus, a Naxos CD so old and so out-of-print that even Naxos has no information on it. I couldn't find any proof that this MDT listing even exists outside of MDT itself and an identical listing on Presto; it's not in the Naxos catalogue, or in NML, or Naxos.com. Interesting. But the MDT listing is:

SAINT-SAENS Piano Concerto No. 2 ROUSSEL Piano Concerto Op. 36 POULENC Concerto for 2 Pianos in D Minor. Peter Toperczer, Marian Lapsansky, Slovak Philharmonic / Zdenek Kosler. Naxos

Good choice, Q. Great collection of Dowland's best music and some of Byrd's consort and songs. I think you'll enjoy it immensely.

A friend of mine recently sent me a CDR copy of this:


[asin]B0048077ZE[/asin]


It took three or four listens to really capture me, but ultimately it did, big time!  (If you have interest, go find this on ArkivMusic.com and read the excellent review they've reprinted.)

So now I've ordered this:


[asin]B000031VTL[/asin]


which, inasmuch as it's hard to read, contains Mr. Post's first symphony, and also a violin concerto by one Jerome Goodman, a New York composer and psychiatrist.  (David Post is a psychologist.)

Music that heals?  Fits well with the George Barati symphonic "Chant of Darkness" which was his way of healing from his daughter's death.  (Also can be had, with other fine Barati stuff, on Naxos.)
