Brilliant box, 100 cd's, Symphony festival.

[Harry]

Is LvB's on its way as well Harry?

Brilliant decided in the beginning of this year that they would release more compilations as new or added recordings, and so far they did, seeing the latest releases. Beethoven is a bit of a problem for them, they are still searching for good recordings they can license, but as with Haydn, they will release, but not pinpoint a month.

the only interesting ones in there are the Beethoven symphonies by Blomesdet, and Neumann's Mahler symphonies. other than that, i have either 1) heard 2) not interested.

Wow there isn't a single Bruckner track. Shameful.

Me too, i can't believe that they would call it "The Symphonies" without Bruckner!

that being said, 75 bucks IS a huge bargain, this is a pretty sweet deal for beginners.

I am just going to wait and pick up the Fischer Haydn symphonies in the possible upcoming (fingers crossed) Complete Haydn set by Brilliant. 

Aren't the complete Haydn symphonies already available from Brilliant?

Yes, but Bill meant a box with the complete oeuvre of Haydn inclusive the symphonies.

[Bogey]

Correct....filling in and giving me a sampling of those pieces I do not own.

[toledobass]

Yes, but Bill meant a box with the complete oeuvre of Haydn inclusive the symphonies.

Wow....I'd like that too.

Be patient, it will materialize, eventually......................

Considering Philips, afaik, owns the only complete (?) set of Haydn opera recordings and they're still in print, how will Brilliant manage that? Sets of the masses: Chandos and Decca. Record them all from scratch? Where, btw, are you getting this supposed inside info about their release plans? Nothing personal--I'm just wondering how seriously I should take what you're saying vis-a-vis my buying plans.

First of all Philips has open ears for licensing the Haydn operas, for now they lay dormant, sales are low I am told.
So licensing it is, like with the Chandos recordings, a couple of them are allready released on Brilliant, allthough no Haydn. I do not know how much they will pick up for releasing, but they are pretty serious.
Every major company is at this moment in negotiation, licensing many recordings to Brilliant.
The inside info comes from my old contacts I have in this industry, for I was once involved in the recording business.
Is that serious enough my friend for you to consider your buying plans.

What a weird set. Who would put in all of Clementi, Nielsen and Rimsky-Korsakov and include all the early Mozart and Haydn, but forget Bruckner, Berlioz, Sibelius, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Franck, Glazunov, Vaughan-Williams, Elgar, Hindemith?

What Harry said - plus it's already doing the same thing with EMI sets, such as Strauss/Kempe and Bruckner/Jochum.

...and Scriabin/Muti, Schubert/Muti, Tchaikovsky/Muti and Debussy/Martinon.

99% agreed, not 100 because Elgar isn't needed.

I know, but I didn't recall them licensing from Philips--but if they do, more power to them Now we just need to get Brilliant to keep discs in print longer; in the US, at least, at lot of their material seems to go OOP rather quickly (though it sometimes reappears).

Harry, thanks for the answer.
