Past Purchases (CLOSED)

........... What I'm pretty confident in saying at ths point is that Salonen and Blomstedt give very different interpretations.

After I bought Salonen's Fourth I didn't pick up the rest of his cycle--I'm not sure why. I loved what he did with that symphony and expected a similar approach in the others. The VC with Cho-Liang Lin is near definitive if the majority of critics are to be believed and yet I kept passing that by too. Curious. Maybe I instinctively knew a really cheap box would appear someday   Patience is sometimes rewarded.

Sarge - thanks for the comments above - a different 'interpretation' would intice me into a purchase - added to my 'wish list' - now just need to look for a great price!  Dave

Think Johann Sebastian Bach, a German contemporary of Handel and they were in fact born in the same year.

I would love to discover more of Handel's vocal works that are sung in German.

The Brockes Passion springs to mind, but except for that I don't think there's much.

I simply love Røschmann in Deutsche Arien on Harmonia Mundi though.

Given your vote of confidence in Røschmann, I have put her CD on my wish list.  It should be part of my collection before the end of the year ...

BTW, This will be in my collection as well.  I did not realize Arleen Auger recorded these works.  She was one of the greatest sopranos the US has ever produced ...

Just ordered this CD from an Amazon MP vendor, as it looks like it could be OOP soon ...

I was able to get the "original" at a nice price.

Excellent! And I always like to have (proper) liner notes.

Why is a porcupine walking side by side with Brahms?

Yeah so out of trouble that wife registers on the forum to keep track of you! tehehe  If Elgarian's wife does the same thing then the symmetry will be complete.

Apparently there was a famous coffee shop in Vienna called The Red Hedgehog, which he frequented.
