These guys are going to be the heart of my 2009 listening adventure.   

Excellent!

[karlhenning]

A bunch of ATMA releases that went for 22.99$, now on sale 3 for 10$. There are even 2cd sets included in that batch .

Yes, that's quite a haul of yours, André! 

[karlhenning]

. . . Organ music by Schütz contemporary Samuel Scheidt.

That is speaking my buddy Paul's language.

Paul & his lovely cellist wife Audrey have a recording of Bach gamba sonatas which is rumored to be coming out soon . . . .

Where on earth was this miraculous deal taking place!?

Where on earth was this miraculous deal taking place!?

Yes Lilas, if it is anywhere online I would like to know as well. Plenty of goodies on ATMA!

Just ordered this used-like-new:



I missed it the first time around - to what I believed to be my eternal regret.... 

Then Universal reissued that Richter Edition. But as it turned out, the heretics at Universal decided that the old 3CD volume didn't fit into the 2CD concept of the new series - and simply left out a whole CD with works by Brahms and Schumann!  (I believe they did the same with some Chopin items - check the Richter thread (and/or donwyn))
I'm particularly after Richter's Schumann BTW.

But the reissue helped me anyway: the old volumes are available again on Amazon and aided by the strong euro, this only sets me back €34. And it "helps me to scratch a longstanding itch", as Gurn once put it to me.

Q

[Renfield]

Yes!




Finally, a new copy available for less than [far too much] - directly through Amazon.de, to boot.

This is a Brahms 3rd I've been "stalking" for at least two years.

Hm. I saw that one for the equivalent of $12 or $13 at a local shop about a year ago or so.

Maybe I had simply been unlucky with it; though people trying to sell it for £70 on Amazon.co.uk might stand as evidence to the contrary!

Incidentally, I'll stress I'm no Bach expert, but I like Hewitt's WTC very much indeed!

Nav, you have a great treasure with a complete set of LVB's Piano Sonatas!  Enjoy wholeheartedly.   

Good find for the Dvorak symphonies!  I just took out from the library the same 100th Anniversary Edition of Dvorak's Concertos.   

[Opus106]

Good to know. In fact, this also happens to be my first WTC.

Nav, you have a great treasure with a complete set of LVB's Piano Sonatas!  Enjoy wholeheartedly.  

Thank you. Between this and the WTC, I've got vast oceans to explore, so to speak, for the whole of next year. And beyond.

Good find for the Dvorak symphonies!  I just took out from the library the same 100th Anniversary Edition of Dvorak's Concertos.  

Favourable reviews for the Harnoncourt symphonies were posted here and elsewhere. I did consider the concertos box, which includes rarely heard Dvorak like the Serenade for Winds (a favourite) and the Requiem, but I dropped that idea later.

Where on earth was this miraculous deal taking place!?

Brian, Que, it's in store at Archambault, the Quebec music stores chain. I haven't checked their website but usually these special offerings are limited to the stores. I *think* these are pre-2007 issues. If you're interested, I'll go and check what's on sale (about 2 dozen titles) and report.  We can always arrange a shipment

Beethoven
Piano Sonatas (Complete) - my first!

Great set! You're in for a treat.

Q

Nice catch, Q. And at a fair price, too, considering it's a three-CD set.

Yeah, the Decca (Universal) reissue has been a bit of a disappointment: yes it's good to have these recordings back in circulation but why they didn't see the project through and reissue ALL of the recordings is a mystery. Not to mention the dates are still all wrong even though it's now public knowledge as to the provenance of the recordings. *Scratching my head*

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Wow, that is a good find, Renfield! I've been enamored with this set for ages. Should provide many hours of quality listening.
