[The new erato]

I will see Esfahani with the Concerto Køln in concert here in Bergen this spring.

I had a little leisure time, my wife is sleeping, to order these two items from a site Que recommended, and the Weckman recommendation  came also from him as a very good interpretation. The Schubert simply had a good price tag, still waiting for a good price on the Beethoven set.

[Jo498]

[Paris symphonies]
That is one of the very best Haynd symphonies sets available. (And one of the recordings that Harnoncourt recorded in his old age that I actually like...)
You won't regret it.

I agree. I find this mandatory for every lover of these works although it is still eccentric (as to be expected). I once wrote somewhere (and not in jest) that Harnoncourt uses more subtle gradations and kinds of string articulation in the slow movement of the "Bear" than many others use for the whole 6 symphonies...

  This box is crazy good.  It's virtually all reference quality.

I'm severely lacking in knowledge. Bought myself a remedy.

some dramatic mark-downs in the delete section of my b&m record store (Sikoras, in Vancouver, worth a visit if you're in the area)

[The new erato]

I managed to buy this at  very good price from the amazon.de pre Christmas offers.

[asin]B004REXFRA[/asin]

It came to around 37 Euros all included into my mailbox.

[Mookalafalas]

I decided I don't need this...and then bought it anyway.  It's a handsome set.  The booklet smells like high gloss photo paper.

I wish reviewers in general could be more specific on the smell of their reviews.

Phew, glad to hear that! I was hesitant about it as I already have the Reiner Conducts Strauss box (which includes several albums originally on Columbia, hence I'll keep it) and some more in the Rubinstein, Heifetz and the first Living Stereo boxes ... but it looks gorgeous for sure!

Not yet released in North America, but those who prefer to download can hop over to eClassical already. I did.

Two Other Movements is unquestionably major Rihm in his post-Mahler/Berg/Hartmann vein.

I haven't heard much of Rihm's more recent music, what's it like? I suppose more neoromantic, as is a common approach for those who made it big in the avant-grade earlier in their career?
