That cover is priceless, BTW.

Practically worth purchasing for the cover alone, I'd say.

Where?

Brick & mortar, I'm afraid. $:-\$

It seems a good catch - but it was a gamble!

Some people have all the luck!

de Chambonnieres is the first important french composer for harpsichord, grandaddy of french harpsichord music and at the same time scarcity of recordings is hard to believe. There are only three all Chambonneres discs that I heard of: that one, available only from french etailers for over 30 euros (for most people) and two out of print discs: Sempe on DHM (going for silly prices on amazon) and some female harpsicordist whose name escapes me now on some never heard of label.

Bought a few discs, today, including:

Would be very interested in a reading a short review from you of this Renfield.

Mamma mia, Joe, you're firing from all cylinders

. What a discursive choice!! Just the kind I like! What is Nagano conducting, BTW. I only see his face, no text, no title? Just curious, as I don't really like him. But you never know...!!

Thank you!

Nagano is conducting Stravinsky - Firebird (original version) as well as Symphonies of Wind Instruments (original version)

From what I've heard, his style of conducting is probably as far away from my previous recording (Boulez, Cleveland) as one can get. I was mainly just looking for a full version, not the suite. These are hard to find, it seems. We'll see how well he fares...

For resale reasons, I avoid cut outs. Collectors don't seem to like them.

BTW, which Tower did you work at?

Washington DC

p.s. if you bought a cut-out at 33cents, you probably would not have to worry about the re-sale value, no?

True.

Living in NYC, I have an even bigger problem- limited space. $:-\$

Btw Harry, did you manage to find out about when CPO plan to release the Krenek 4th or Casella 3rd?

Whoa! There's a great deal! And at an electronics store! I'll be frequenting mine soon...

I didn't even know they had CD's (their minuscule classical section was mostly comprised by tacky compilations). Nonetheless, a nice surprise.

Divers projects are brought to a standstill this year, due to economic reasons, so that means there is no say when this will be recorded or released. I was astounded that they released the Foerster CD.

Just to say that the Krenek and Casella have already been recorded- both conducted by Alun Francis, the Krenek with the NDR Orchestra, Hanover and the Casella with the Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra(this is according to Alun Francis's own website-

That's why I said recorded or released when already recorded.

Just clarifying for other people's interest
