This seems to contain the same recording:

but without "The Bells". It doesn't explicitly say the Ravel pieces are with MP/Kondrashin, too, but since it's cheap, I ordered a copy of this as well - Boléro and La Valse with Kondrashin would definitely be something I would like to hear.

Not sure, but that looks like this

in which case Bolero and La Valse are by Dudarova, not Kondrashin.

Don't know about Bolero but Kondrashin did record La Valse and Rhapsody Espagnol with Moscow Philharmonic.

Rubio, fellow Festetics fan  ,  it seems we're in the same boat here! 

Q

Yeah, and the slightly irritating thing is that Op. 33 contains some of my favourite Haydn SQ works . Why should excactly this volume be so hard to find?? Anyway, it always good to have something to hunt for .

I would like to get a bit more familiar with Rimsky-Korsakov, and the 1940's mono recordings of Budapest SQ's Beethoven were tempting.

 

[Opus106]

That's the kind of box I've been searching for some time.

[ezodisy]

Was Herman talking about the whole set or just the 3rd sonata? I am curious, will listen to it right now.

Thanks for that. Herman had in mind the 3rd Sonata Largo which I liked so much. I believe he found it too effeminate, too dainty, lacking backbone maybe. That didn't bother me, I thought its intimacy was very fitting. Do you think it suits him?

Could you list recording dates for that set?

[rubio]

Could you list recording dates for that set?

This set actually does not come with recording dates; just some general comment like: Dates et lieu d'enregistrement: Moscou, 1969, 1971, 1978, 1982, 1985, 1990

I don't know if he has recorded some of these works more than once; at least that was not the case for the Miaskovsky set.

Explore Musicweb. There you can find everything. Here's a good start:

Very, very interesting! 
Thanks for pointing that one out. Dantone has been absolutely great in Bach sofar IMO.
Will be most interested in your findings.

BTW: is this a new L'Oiseau Lyre release? Or a reissue of a recording I did not know it had ever existed?

That's good enough, it should contain well familiar Melodiya recordings, previously on Olympia, Melodiya/BMG, Cdk, Moscow Studio Archives, Regis......

I asked since he did record two Rimsky cycles with the same orchestra, later cycle is from 1993, I think, was released on RCA and was supposedly far less interesting than his earlier traversals, went oop quickly.

I believe he recorded Miaskovsky symphonies only once.

Nørgård's early opera — There are probably other operas I should hear before this, but it was amazingly available for only $7 (It's usually almost $40). I wonder if I'll actually get it in the mail. 



I've already bought this once... and had to cancel it (how was I supposed to know my car's starter would cost almost $300 to fix?  ).



Luke's posting of the Battalia à 10 in another thread prompted this. Unfortunately, the Savall disc is too expensive for my tastes, so this will do for now. At any rate, they are his most well-known pieces so I don't think I made a mistake in snatching them up.



Never heard a note of Revueltas's music, but Pjme's endorsement piqued my curiosity.



Now I can finally really explore Stravinsky. I've been waiting for the price to go down to the price it was when it was first released. It's still going on the Marketplace for upwards of $40, but someone popped up today selling it for $20, and I decided to take the plunge.

Unfortunately, the seller sent me the wrong disk instead of the Farewell Concert, so I'm waiting on an exchange there.

How's the Farewell Concert? I was thinking about ordering that.

[Lilas Pastia]

Corey, you chose wisely. If you must have but one Revueltas disc(s) in your collection, this is it. Your curiosity will be richly rewarded!

[Dancing Divertimentian]

That's a barn-burning Chopin PC. Probably my favorite Pogorelich disc.

It appears that the photographer was a sworn enemy of the two artists. 

[Lilas Pastia]

Indeed, it's like he just told them something they suspect is not quite flattering.

Hadn't noticed that before. It's like the photographer belched in their general direction or something!

[ezodisy]

apparently they didnt' get along well at that time or for that interpretation, if I remember correctly.
