Great stuff, Peter!

Thanks, B.

I was in the mood for a disc of Suppé overtures after reading your post in the "What are listening 2 now?" thread, and found the Paray CD on eBay for AU$9.95. Bargain!

That Jordi Savall CD is fabulous.

I have to hear the Tansman Cello Concerto now that I know it exists, but I can't find it streaming anywhere, so I bought a used CD.

Now I know the Tansman cello concerto exists, and I can't find it streaming!

I didn't know about the existence of those works either. Recently I also found out that Bacewicz wrote a Viola Concerto.

Oh, great, Mme. Argerich's 97th recording of the Beethoven PC1! 

Good day to you, Tasos!

  A lot of great Slatkin disks! Like the Jaarvi, too. I became a fan of both after a hearing Horowitz rave about them.

TD:
  Got a second hand copy for great price. I LOVE his recent Haydn symphonies box, and the St. Martins--SMITF--box (more than half are Marriner), so seems like a no brainer...

Slatkin made a lot of great recordings! I've been looking for his Walton disc for a while, and most of his stuff with St. Louis (including these Vox twofers) is excellent. As far as Jarvi's Shostakovich, I only have his Seventh and Eighth, and now the Ballet Suites... I want to collect more, but it's unlikely it'll be boxed up since it's on two different labels!

I too am a big fan of Marriner's Haydn! So elegant and refined, but not afraid to let loose where the music calls for it. I have the 15 disc set from Australian Eloquence, which I'm guessing is what you're referring to?

The Shostakovitch Ballet Suites are very good in this performance.

Good day to you, Tasos!

...and I must have at least half of them. 😁

Καλησπέρα, Rafael!
