Should i acquire these recordings?

[hautbois]

There is yet again an influx of new Naxos recordings at my local record store. I saw some really promising titles and was wondering whether it's recommended or not by everyone here. Maybe this thread will extend and become a big one like the 'Purchases today' thread. 

Anyways, here are a couple i saw which appealed to me:

STRAVINSKY: Mass / Cantata / Symphony of Psalms (Stravinsky, Vol. 6)
Craft, Robert
Philharmonia Orchestra, St. Luke's Orchestra
Gregg Smith Singers, Simon Joly Chorale
Bogdan, Thomas; Feld, Melanie; Feller, Bart; Hart, Mary Ann; Parloff, Michael; Sherry, Fred; Taylor, Stephen; Wilson-Johnson, David
Naxos
8.557504


ADAMS: Shaker Loops / Wound Dresser / Short Ride in a Fast Machine
Alsop, Marin
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Gunn, Nathan
Naxos
8.559031


FLUTE (THE ART OF THE)
Inui, Madoka; Schmidl, Peter; Schulz, Matthias; Schulz, Wolfgang
Naxos
8.570309

Thankyou for any feedback at all! The manager of the store said that will be more coming tomorrow so i am more than eager to post more questions here.

Although I have not heard any of these, I've read very good comments about the first two.  I bet Karl could weigh in with more comments on the Stravinsky! 

PS, cool avatar, hautbois!

That Stravinsky disc is pretty good, though I prefer Ancerl in both Symphony of Psalms and Cantata. I've no idea about the other two.

I have this one. Nothing negative to say about it.

We already have the thread you are trying to (re)create here: Recordings That You Are Considering.
