I've always wanted a complete Fanny.

Does this sum up your understanding of music?

Just received a recording of the 5th; that plus two other sonatas contemporary to Protopopov.  On initial listening I find the works quite modernist and dissident, very "au courant" for the time. Had he lived longer, Scriabin would compose in a completely atonal style; this according to the experts.

What do you think of the 5th in comparison with those two on youtube? Is it any good or not?
So, wait... the last few Scriabin sonatas aren't completely atonal? I see they aren't like Schoenberg and are closer to being tonal, but I always thought they were considered, basically, "atonal." Something I'm missing?

I collect symphony cycles more than anything else, so I'd really like to hear recordings of Novak's symphonies. I'm quite fond of his late-Romantic tone poems but have yet to see any recordings of his symphonies at all For that matter, I'd like to see The Storm back in print: I've heard great things about it around here.

There's a life beside music. Parts of it includes fannies.

Thanks, ChamberNut, for starting this wonderful/dreadful thread - the latter for the desires it churns up!

Mine are mainly LPs that cost lots if/when they show up on eBay or Discogs:

Luigi Nono's Non Consumiamo Marx - Musica Manifesto N. 1
Luigi Nono's San Vittore
Giacinto Scelsi's String Quartets by the Arditti Qt on the the rare Fore80 label
Iannis Xenakis: the 5LP Erato box
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th DGG Avant-Garde Boxes
Electronic Panorama, Philips 4LP set - downloadable at the Avant-Garde Project but that's not quite the same, alas!

Some CDs:
Luc Ferrari: the new multi-CD set from INA/GRM - pure greed as I've got most of this already!
La Monte Young's The Well Tuned Piano - the non-stop DVD edition he sells on his site
Toru Takemitsu: the Japanese complete edition on c.60 discs - all documentation, even the track titles, is in Japanese, though, which would complicate things a bit for me!

Oh, and I see the Stockhausen Verlag have started selling his multichannel works in strange formats that would necessitate 4 pairs of speakers - but one can dream.

I'm tempted also by the Brilliant Classics Bach, Beethoven and Mozart boxes right now and one of the Haydn complete symphonies sets - maybe the Austro-Hungarian one on mp3 CDs.

All of the above would require a change in behaviour from me, though, as I know that the next time I find myself in an HMV megastore near me I'm going to end up in front of the Naxos shelves, picking at random again for the sheer joy of discovery - those '3 for £15' offers get me every time!

Gosh! I wonder what Ludwig makes you think of.
