One item arrived today: Kosler's Shostakovich Ninth. It took so long for the disc to arrive (from an Amazon seller in Guernsey!) I can no longer recall for certain who recommended it. Jens and Edward?

Edit: Definitely Jens and Edward.

I should have, as well (just adding for the record).

Finally starting to collect some Bach?

Finally starting to collect some Bach?

Just collecting the most important recordings. My extant wishlist is considerably longer. 

[Papy Oli]

Couple of alternative recordings :

[Antoine Marchand]

IMO, the best Haydn symphonies released on Naxos were those recorded by Helmut Müller-Brühl and his ensemble, particularly this glorious disc:

[asin]B00008OP1Q[/asin]

Just saying... 

[Opus106]

Although I can't comment on the recording's quality as such, the Bela Drahos disc brings back memories of my earliest days listening to western classical music. The one Internet radio station that I used to frequent almost always played either Naxos or Telarc discs and as a consequence the Esterhazy Sinfonia received plenty of air- and optic-fibre-time when it was time for Haydn. I remember remarking how similar Haydn's music sounded to Mozart's, when I heard it for the first time.

Could be. I don't know. I only bought the Naxos CD to fill a gap in my Haydn collection (66 and 67). They were the only game in town (outside the big boxes or the hard-to-find-cheap Hogwood vol.9).

I already have multiple versions of 41, 58 and 59 by the big guns. But thank you for the recommendation.

That looks interesting!

Much of the Pollini I already have on various original discs. Great stuff!

That looks interesting!

I think this must have been an Edward rec, Sarge.

Aye, right here.

Ordered within the last two days:


Bach: Suites for orchestra, Freiburger Baroqueorchestra (Harmonia Mundi)

Bach: Art of Fugue, Fretwork  (Harnmonia Mundi)

Have and like those.  if you like the Fretwork, you will probably also want to get at some point their recording of the Goldbergs, which was released at (or almost at) the same time as the Freiburger Suites.

Bach: Harpsichord works played on piano (WTC, Suites, Toccatas et.c.) Angela Hewitt  (Hyperion)

Have and very much like that one.

Louis Couperin: Harpsichord works cpt.  Richard Egarr  (Harmonia Mundi)

Have that one, but it's still on my "I need to actually listen to this" pile.

You wont be disappointed with these two, John. Have become two of my most played Britten discs recently, the Gloriana Suite, Phaedra and Lachrymae are especially wonderful.

This is good to hear, Greg. I caught some videos of Edward Gardner conducting and I was very impressed with what he brings to the music. Lachrymae is one of the only Britten orchestral works I haven't heard. This, from what I have read, was one of his last works too. Should be interesting. I think Gardner is definitely a conductor to lookout for. He's going places I think.

A good day, but someone else beat me to the Walton Quest which was my object.  The Martinu set was only $9.99 which seems like a good deal.
From Sikoras, my downtown source:
MARTINU  the 6 Symphonies   BIS , with Järvi
RAWSTHORNE String Quartets
Georgian String Quartets by NAZSIDZE and TSINTSADZE
Paul KLETZKI  Piano Concerto and piano pieces - another conductor/composer
Sacred music by KNÜPFER, a Bach contemporary
piano music by Karl Heinz WAHREN and HARTMANN - Peter Reggenkamp, piano
and SALIERI's Falstaff
and  a book in the mail today The Private Life of Hilda Tablet - I think the BBC have not got the tapes any more.
