Interesting timing. After years of zero compendiums of the complete Lutoslawski piano music, with only a handful of pieces appearing on miscellaneous recitals, this summer I reviewed a compilation on the Dux label, with pianist Veronique Briel, and next year we're getting an album by Corinna Simon. (Another odd coincidence: the pianists are all women.)

Ann Martin-Davis recorded the complete piano music for ASV in the 90s.  She does keep it all female, though.

A quick stop today at Madrid's leading classical CD retailer (before they close for a short summer break--Madrid as a city grinds to a halt next week) yielded this mixed bag:

I generally like Barbirolli's conducting. Is that the only Nielsen symphony that he recorded?

Doing an Amazon search, yes, it appears this is the only Nielsen work he conducted.

I'm hoping this will be my last purchase of the year or at least until after Christmas. If I keep telling myself this, I should be fine.

Just bought:

Credit where it's due, you lasted an entire 48 hours! 48 hours and 9 minutes, to be exact!

Maintaining that pace for the rest of 2015, you will purchase 139 more CDs this year.

That's a rather optimistically moderate number, I'm sure.

I have decided to go cold Brian for the rest of the year. That is, nothing more, unless it would be stupid not to buy it. The Seon box at under a hundred for example, or The Beaux Arts box at sixty bucks, etc.

Let's see how I do ....

BTW since January 1 my purchases are
- the Annie Fischer Icon box for $20
- the Jean Martinon Columbia box for $25
- a couple CDs at the Montreal Symphony festival I attended, as souvenirs


Oh hey I never properly reported on those. Montreal/Nagano's Mahler Das Lied von der Erde, and a Todd favorite, Benjamin Grosvenor's Dances right after seeing Grosvenor perform a recital literally on a staircase.
