Past Purchases (CLOSED)

[listener]

A my local I put a hold on the complete ONSLOW and SPOHR piano music disc due in Sept.
and bought a couple of Zarzuela LPs SORZABAL and LUNA   (tonight's listening)

[otare]

When I came back from vacation there were quite a few packages waiting for me:



and a lot of single discs. Hummel, Scott, Rota...

[Conor71]

And a few more from the postbox while I was on vacation:

Outstanding singer, interesting repertoire, I needed this.

Very interested to hear what you think of this one. It's not like there are lots of versions to choose from either.

[The new erato]

I have 5 of the 8 discs in this box already; but this is an outstanding series and at the current ridiculous price I ended up paying around 5 Euros pr missing disc; probably well worth it.

[The new erato]

This fills in some holes in the collection nicely (though I have good recordings of around half the contents, but at current prices, what can one do?    )

[asin]B003EXVU7C[/asin]

[The new erato]

I enjoy Gunther Schuller's recording of this on DG a lot, but for a more echt, ragtime experience this seems to be the ticket (it has had smashing reviews):

[asin]B005WUOWR0[/asin]

[The new erato]

Some backfilling of piano repertoire (interestingly this contains some Smetana, of which I have zilch).

[asin]B000QFBW5Q[/asin]

[The new erato]

I love this repertoire (early Italian baroque opera), and this have had some smashing reviews, including an IRR "Outstanding".

[asin]B00694VOZG[/asin]

[The new erato]

I also preordered these:

[asin]B008CYUZX8[/asin]
[asin]B008BT104M[/asin]

and in order to get free shipping on one of the boxes; added this:

[asin]B002HHH3WW[/asin]

I sincerely hope this is all,,,,,,

Some backfilling of piano repertoire (interestingly this contains some Smetana, of which I have zilch).

There is a series of Smetana piano music on Supraphon played by Jitka Čechová.



5 volumes so far.
And then there is the complete edition on Supraphon vinyl:


I actually have them all (even the vinyl box).

[otare]

Very interested to hear what you think of this one (Cherevicki). It's not like there are lots of versions to choose from either.

I have a feeling that it will be quite a while until I get round to listening to it There are probably around 500+ CDs lying around waiting to be played. I'm not always in an opera-mood.

No problem. I can wait!

A 28-minute Waldstein? Wishlisted!! I'm also wishlisting her Scarlatti. Her Beethoven Opp 109-111 is a very good CD, only marred by some glassy 1980-era sound and the worst liner note I've seen in a long time.

Okay, the Opp. 109-111 are now on my list.  I couldn't care less about liner notes for well-documented repertoire, and as for 1980s sound, I come from long enough ago to remember 78s.  (Just barely....)  I think I can handle a mere 30 years ago.  (NB  I have a Bruckner 8th recorded by Klemperer in 1924.  [Slow mvt. only.]  Care to guess the sound quality?  And yet I play it now and then, and wouldn't want to give it up.)

This sounds like exactly the kind of thing I should go to Naxos Music Library and listen to right...now!!
