I have been relentlessly pushing that Huelgas set since I got it.  ;D Until it went out of print prety quickly...... That you were able to find a copy, is quite an achievement!  :o :) Discplus?

I justify the purchase as a memory test. I remember these as superb. They are.

Gordo, I think you will find that her later cycle for DG doesn't match it in witt and spontaneity.  :)

Q

I agree: actually I have the DG piano sonatas too and the acquisition of the big box will mean a duplication.

I love her interpretations there, but I agree with you. Her Denon cycle is superb because of the reasons you point out.

Agree. I get that they can't use the EMI mark, but it would have been easy enough to invent a new imprint for all of the ex-EMI and Virgin recordings they're now selling. Ditto for Philips recordings now branded as Decca.

Well, I guess it could be worse. They might have used this

music played on the late 17th century organ at Covarrubias, played by Francis Chapelet
mainly pieces by Correa de ARAUXO and Antonio de CABEZON
an Oryx LP, from Harmonia Mundi, I think reissued several time on CD.
The LP has pictures, registrations and a short history of the organ, and a note on divided registers.
Splendid horizontal trumpets, and the sound of the college carillon included.
... and a vocal recital by Lucine Amara, soprano with David Benedict, piano

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.

No, they don't carry any majors (but interestingly enough they do have the Australian Eloquence series - but it's cheaper ordering those from the UK, really). I bought it quite a while ago (late 2012, early 2013?) from a private re-seller on the french platform priceminister.com (which gets worse and worse, it seems).  An order from some commercial vendor via AM failed to come through before that, maybe even two ... price was alright, 50€ or so, I think, but it's showing a bit of wear (no issue with me). I never really started playing it from the beginning though, so far had picked some discs of particular interest (which so far was tending more towards Renaissance, rather than Middle Ages).

Thread duty:

discs 5-7

except for the somewhat "worn" piano sound, this is indeed close to perfection!
