Yeah, it appears to be OOP.  Presto has lossless downloads:

I know this is so 20th century of me but I don't do downloads..

Disc 3 with Buxtehude.

Q

I have good memories regarding this set, especially the Buxtehude....
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"

Tarp

[asin] B07C5NSRYT[/asin]

"Svend Erik Tarp was among those Danish composers who were closer to French musical culture than to the dominant influence from Germany. In a string of sparkling, diverting works, not least the popular Piano Concerto in C major, he spoke up in the 1930s for a different modernist direction than the German-inspired one that dominated the new Danish music of the period. "

Delightful music.

'Occasional' works maybe, but no less interesting or even profound for that. Indeed, the Sinfonietta for Strings is outstanding in that regard. Meaty stuff, no fluff.



Sinfonietta was written for my old university (Lancaster) and I love 'The Magic Island' - a very poetic work (after Shakespeare's 'The Tempest')
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Variation for Orchestra?  What's it like?

...Ah: "This work was originally composed as Variations for Brass Band, and only later arranged by Gordon Jacob for orchestra."

https://global.oup.com/academic/product/variations-for-orchestra-9780193695115?cc=us&lang=en&#
Correct, the good news being, that this is a far better performance/recording than the two previous ones (always thought it was the fault of the lukewarm orchestration; now we know it can shine equally brilliant in its orchestral guise).
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

File this under "Difficult Listening"! He is Poland's first 12 tone composer, according to the notes. He doesn't seem to follow 12 tone structure rigorously, though: much of it sounds simply atonal. Picture a mix of Schoenberg/Berg/Boulez.



This sounds good !

Yes, the Buxtehude is particularly nice. But I also enjoyed the two discs with Italian repertoire.  :)

Sure Que, this box is a real winner, but then again I almost never buy anything disappointing, be it that there are a few Divox CD'S that put me in a frenzy, but that happens to me once in awhile, when I do not particularly have all my senses in the right order. :)
