Recordings That You Are Considering

[Madiel]

I'm wondering whether anyone (most likely in Europe) has encountered this edition of this recording, and knows whether the booklet includes libretti and/or translations.

Hi, indeed this cd has libretti but no translations.
However, here

you can find all the information + an english translation.
I do like the early Ravel choruses and Debussy's Printemps is very "charmant" aswell. "Myrrha" I don't remember... Will listen later.

Thanks. I actually knew about the download and the Chandos website has that Marco Polo edition as well. But it's helpful to know the French edition at least has the libretti in French.

You might not have seen my problems on the Purchases Today thread where I ran into trouble trying to buy the Marco Polo edition. It seems the French Naxos version is much easier to buy and I might choose that instead. At least 2 sellers have it in stock.

After greatly enjoying Norrington's Haydn London symphonies, I just yesterday stumbled upon a very cheap used copy of his 2nd Beethoven set with the same forces.  Now I'm considering his Mozart to round things out (though these are not as cheap, alas)... anyone have an opinion on these?

Eight discs of Second Viennese School recordings in sure to be over-indulgent performances, including a recording with Andrea Lucchesini that I do not own.  Could be hard to resist.

That is apparently a reissue of this box.

I have it, but I am not a fan overall of the Second Viennese, so I can't judge it fairly.  But if Lucchesini is the primary draw, this is available used for about $9

Another one for the worst cover art thread ...

Sniffing his armpits?

I reckon he's just been stung by some kind of insect that was hiding in his clothes.

No. I found the movie on Google. He looks Asian.

Something tells me his interpretation is not going to be of the airy and delicate type.

Rather Bruce Willis like, this.

That's what I thought, too: the bastard offspring of Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel.

Never saw Montanari's picture before!  His style is more elegant than his appearance suggest... though also strong and daring. His Corelli is on top of my list.

I would be interested this new recording. The catalogue has plenty of room for a (presumably) different approach from one of the Italian Baroque masters. Though Enrico Onofri did a single disc in an obscure label, now reissued on Pascacaille and is reportedly very good. For some reason, he is dragging his feet to record the rest.....

You can sample on sound cloud, I rather think it's interesting

The Amadeus recording is about 10 years old or more. Once I did own it, but culled it because I found Montanari much too willful to my taste. I suppose the Cantus set is another and relatively new recording.

IMO willfulness spoils the S&P (Monica Huggett, Sirkka-Liisa Kaakinen) but not the cello suites as much (Angela East)..
