I agree, David.

But there is another super bargain: the Leonhardt/Harnoncourt set (only the sacred cantatas). It costs $209.09 on Cd Universe:

I paid significantly less for it at MDT early this year ...

That is a good price.

I've been eying that Prokofiev. Thanks for the recommendation on it.

I've been wanting to 'fill out' my collection of Prokofiev's Piano Sonatas for a while when this review in the new issue of the ARG appeared; apparently on doing some web searching, Ms. McDermott has been impressing many lately w/ these performances, esp. in concerts.

The reviewer in the ARG is James Harrington - just some snippets from his review:  "Anne-Marie McDermott jumps to the top of the list with this new set"; "this set is a must have"; "Very few recordings elicit loud spoken superlatives from me while listening in private, but this one did.."; "...with a 30+ page booklet containing a good short biography and very detailed, comprehensive notes on all the sonatas, and you have a release not to be missed."

Lookin' forward to hearing this set!

This quality issue is self recommending, nichtwahr?   RE:  Raff Symphonies!

Harry - I just have two discs of this composer's music, chamber works (on CPO & MDG) - really enjoy; but I've not heard the Symphonies so will be looking forward to your comments.  BTW - where is this box available?  Dave

But today the price is higher there.

Because MDT ran a significant discount early in the year, around February.

I'm getting horny already  

Overtures to Rienzi, Meistersinger and Holländer. I also ordered Païta's other Wagner CD, excerpts from Götterdämmerung. That arrived today:



I should have ordered the Tristan from this source too--I'd have it today--but I found it a little cheaper elsewhere.

Sarge

I wasn't aware those had been issued on cd!

Just placed a small order with an Amazon MarketPlace vendor on this CD to complete my WTC by Ralph Kirkpatrick ...

I think we need to take this to another thread. My purchases are getting buried.

Festive Overture only; Metamorphosen only



... dang, didn't realize, but that was a LOT of music to download in one day! And a ton of music for $80. Almost makes me feel sad that I am canceling my eMusic subscription now.

Brian,   I just ordered this physical disc from MDT last week.   

[The new erato]

Italian romantic opera is quite a bit from the top of my listening lists, but I've always liked Pappano (have his Massenets and the Trittico), and need a recording with topnotch sound of this to supplement my Tosanini on LP and Giulini on CD. At last there's no Boccelli here.


Added this highly praised disc since I don't own this repertory.

Great DVD. I thought the Firkusny piano disc was Out Of Print?

  So did I Coopmv, I paid £100 flat at HMV  .  I was surprised to see the Koopman Cantata set that Harry bought.  I just can not seem to find it on amazon.co.uk for some reason  ??

Suzuki on BIS
