Not a purchase but a gift. Thanks Bill!

Could those of you that own this one please PM me? I got a couple of defective tracks on disk one.

If Shostakovich was not puzzled by Richter's omissions, then why did he engage him in such a QA? Certainly not for small talk.

Who said Shostakovich was a slouch? And who said he didn't perform and record?

Completely irrelevant for Richter or Shostakovich to record all? I don't think so, for the reasons I previously stated.

That is my final word on this topic. Think and write your worst, gentlemen.

Boy, you're walking the tightrope with this reply. I don't know whether to grab you by the collar and tussle you up or to feel pity for you!

For you to make so many errors in comprehension is startling. I'm not even going to TRY to explain it all to you again, except to say this:

Nowhere did I say it was irrelevant for Richter or Shostakovich to record all the P&F's. What I said was it was irrelevant for YOU TO COMPARE Shostakovich the pianist to Richter.

I seriously recommend you go back and reread my replies to you. There's no other way of putting it...

Wonders never cease: my aunt brought me a BRO box from my brother's place in NC. It had beeen lying there for a full year and I had totally forgotten about it 

So there:

A reacquaintance with some of Haydn's purest gems
What I have is the CD version of this, but I could only find the DVD image.
Should be good. I like his symphonies, so why not the concertos ? There are 3 more to come...

The divine voice of Margaret Price  0:)

This has the Brahms concertos (Monteux and Ferencsik, as wel las the Schumann  (Kertesz) and Schumann's big C major Fantasia
A discovery for me.

The few here have attempted to interject right and wrong into this discussion. That in itself is wrong.

But isn't it your argument that Richter was morally wrong to have omitted some of the preludes?

And you, my friend, are suffering from forgetfulness and redundancy, at the very least.

Pity, that so many have to be rude in trying to make a point. Be gone with you.

What on earth did I say to be accused of rudeness? Did "opus interruptus" offend your delicate sensibilities?

Or perhaps you just can't stand being disagreed with.

Opus interruptus was a stab at wit? That is even worse. Be gone again.

Your unjustified belligerence is amusing

EDIT: Apologies to other thread denizens - I won't be posting in this dispute again.

A discovery for me.

An attractive one, I trust. I for one like this Dyson CD very much...

Crikey, you got Vol I of the Haydn opera box at BRO!   I've been looking over those 2 boxes for months, hoping for a sale. I never saw it at BRO (and I check at least 4 times a week). Damn, timing is everything.

Awaiting your impressions on these and especially the Dorati Haydn boxset, LP. 

[Sergeant Rock]

The soundbites of this new account of Brahms' First Concerto by Angelich sounded quite intriguing (the Hungarian Dances, too). The Beethoven recital and Liszt's Années de Pèlerinage were on sale (they have received decent reviews in the past); an opportunity to get further acquainted with this artist's style, which was so far known to me by means of his chamber music recordings and from the Lugano festival albums with Martha Argerich and friends.
(Sonatas op.53 "Waldstein", op.26 & op.111)
The above complete my Pollini plays Beethoven sonatas discography...
...and these came highly recommended (being the reason for this order).

What a haul! I have none of those recordings but want them all.

I know where you can put it all.

And another one bites the dust... Sigh...

Your views, as always, would be much appreciated.

Listening to the Fourth now, Hector. First time I've heard it. I have the Fifth and 8th already in performances by the conductor. Let me do some comparative listening and I'll comment then.

I bought this from Amazon France:



Don't know anything about it. But I have nothing by H. Kegel and almost nothing with the Dresden Philharmonic so I took a chance.
