Puccini: La Boheme - Votto/Chorus And Orchestra Of La Scala

[asin]B009IK4UTU[/asin]

Another of the CDs gifted to me by an ex.

I'd have to go digging to be sure, but I think the song order there reflects order of composition

Nope. The two songs to words by Leander are placed as tracks 5 and 8. The two Don Juan songs are placed as tracks 4 and 15. In both cases, the liner notes agree with other sources that these songs are essentially pairs, so why not treat them as such?

And there is nothing to say these are earlier unpublished versions. In the one case where there is something explicit, it indicates that "Hans und Grete" is the published version, not the earlier song which had a different name.

EDIT: Are you getting confused with the Orchestral Knaben Wunderhorn songs?

(After going to look a little deeper)
Slightly confused.  I had forgotten how many of those early songs were from the Wunderhorn collection, and not Mahler's imitation of Wunderhorn songs.

CD 30 of the BAT box.
Beaux-Arts Trio
Schubert Trout Quintet
Clara Schumann. Piano Trio in g minor Op. 17

First listen to Clara's Trio, I think.

The box is arranged by composer sort of chronological order, and it has taken up to the halfway point to reach a composer who is not Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, or Schubert.  After this, it gets to Hummel and Clara's husband.

Small batch production, probably the only way to keep a diverse catalogue of small demand productions in print. Everything CD-R. Understandable, but the real stink is they don't make it all clear to customers.

Hmm...a departure from what I'm used to. But yes, disclosure should be mandatory.

An unknown composer to me! 

Bohemian, as I deduced from his German(ified) name in combination with his appearance on a Czech label....

Is his music any good?

Very stylish, Bach might have made the arrangement himself.

Surfing afterwards I was led to this truely outstanding version of Bruhns' big e-minor by Winsemius.
