Harry, you're off to a good start.  But it would be simpler if you just listed every work ever recorded, and then cross-off the small handful of works that you don't already own . . . . . .  

Now that's a good idea, why did that ever elude me huh?

[Florestan]

Lets start a talkgroup for addicts!
Talking about it helps you know!
I guess I am addicted too, wouldn't you say?

Your picture will be in the next Webster's edition under the word "addicted".

[Harry]

Who's this guy? Never heard about him.

Then I invite you to listen to him! He lived to be 35 years, but his output is high quality.
I could not even find a picture of him, and the recordings of his work are very limited!

And yours too, for that matter!

Was he Italian? When did he live?

[Florestan]

And yours too, for that matter!

Was he Italian? When did he live?

He lived from 1772-1807. Born in Danzig on the 27 of September. His father was Italian and tenor singer at the Carolath court in Silesia.
He left his parents after a quarrel when he was barely fourteen years old. They knew not were. And in later years he was not talkative about it.
He started his career in Poland.

Thanks. But I'm curious: did you know him before purchasing the first CD with his works or did you give him a blind try?

I heard a small piece from him on the radio, and found it to be a charming work, with many interesting details.
So I searched and found these MDG recordings, which came highly recommended, and true to that they are indeed wonderful.
These are the ones I bought.

[Harry]

And these ones.

And I've never heard of him!

I'll try to correct that soon, promise.

[Harry]

Another one.

Carl Reinecke.

Symphony No. 1 opus 79 in A major.

Berner SO/Johannes Moesus.

Not a unknown composer, but this Symphony is! Not many recordings around from these works, although now CPO started it, I guess the rest will come also. It is a highly melodious work, with many influences, and yet a own voice. Not a boring moment.
Romantic, with more than a hint of fairytale telling in it, not too robust, but very involving, and with many nice details.
Good recording, and a optimal performance IMO. The tempi are swift, and the pace is wonderful. The second movement "Andante" is awesome.

[Harry]

Another addition to the already large collection of his music.

Florestan - please take a look at THIS THREAD in the 'old' GMG Forum - should provide you w/ plenty of information on this composer & CD recommendations (many of which Harry has already shown).   

[71 dB]

Would you have me to lose my habits dear friend?
But yes it is Naxos times, some new releases!

Well, no even if your purchases are over the top and make me feel insignificant in comparison.
But that's my problem, not yours so keep enjoying the CDs!

From the April Naxos releases I am interested of Vanhal's Flute Quartets and Glass' 4th Symphony.

You had quite a bit of info about him Dave, that was not even in my bookley notes, and silly me forgot about this thread.
So thank you for pointing it out to me, again, and read the contents again.

On your list then.
You may have, compared with me, little cd's, but the quality of it is well up to what I have.
And that is the most important point right?

Thank you. Quite informative, indeed.

Harry - how did you get up to 40+ posts already! 

I agree w/ you, love those Cartellieri & Krommer CDs even more w/ each re-listening; in fact, I've ripped a bunch of those discs to MP3 & burned a couple CD-Rs for my basement workshop - they play for hours w/o needing to be changed!  Dave
