MDT is also having a Naxos sale, and an order of 5 CDs actually comes out a couple bucks cheaper for me because Archiv collects California sales tax (of course I include all this uncollected sales tax when doing my California state tax return  ;) ).  MDT also has the stuff that can't be released in the US.

Sticking to recentish Naxoi:

The Sarasate series with Tianwa Yang
Schmidt Symphonies (particularly Symphony No. 2)
Balada: Caprichos
Michael Daugherty orchestral works (the latest is Route 66 and other works.)
Roussel Symphonies
Brian: Symphonies 11 & 15
Ginastera: Veriaciones Concertantes
Dvorak: Piano Quartets
Hindemith: Chamber works for clarinet
Benjamin Lees: String Quartets
Schoenberg: String Quartets 3 & 4

Thanks!  I ordered one of the Roussel and a bunch of others that posters on that forum rec'd me.

Thanks for all of the recs, out of what I did not have and what I'm interested in plus a couple of others that I wanted I placed my order:

Is it still on? These are the things I ordered, after weeks of NML listening; they're the ones I decided I had to have on my iPod/with me when I was internet-free.

David, my obvious recommendation is to purchase all of the Taneyev Naxos recordings.  8)

Well, that very conductor just led the BSO in that very symphony, Davey. A great experience!

His whole cycle on Naxos is worthwhile.


Have you considered any of the William Schuman symphony cycle on Naxos?

Oh sorry it ended on Monday, but the mdt one might still be on.

Oh wow cool beans!  Next time I grab some cheap naxos I'll grab one of those Schuman recordings, and probably another Lutoslawski and a Stamitz cello concertos.

GREAT CD! I haven't put it on for a while, maybe this afternoon - 75 and sunny in London - is the perfect moment. :)

Oh, you lads . . . you lured me to Arkivmusic . . . and I gave over my April music abstinence.

Mind you, the responsibility is all mine.

Hrm, I haven't heard the symphony, but I thought the Romeo and Juliet performance appended to it was pretty boring.

Making that piece "boring" is a Crime Against Music!  Seek out the guilty party/parties!

DavidW

btw I've heard that naxos has the best Manfred recording:

I'm tempted to get it along with that Stamitz cc's.

btw I have changed the title of the thread since the sale is over but the discussion may continue.

Archaic Torso of Apollo

David/haydnfan, some recent Naxoses I got that I liked, even if they don't all fit exactly the category you outlined:

Schuman: Symphony #6
Dvorak: Piano Quartets (2nding an above rec!)
Sweelinck: Harpsichord Music (if you like Byrd, you'll like this)
Schoenberg: String Trio, Septet etc.
Vaughan Williams: Piano Concerto
Rochberg: Symphony #1
formerly VELIMIR (before that, Spitvalve)

"Who knows not strict counterpoint, lives and dies an ignoramus" - CPE Bach

I think that's the second time someone has rec'd Schuman, I should listen to that guy!
