Just bought:



A usual set that collects all of Bernstein's music for solo piano and the chamber works. Hat-tip to San Antone for bringing this set to my attention.

Laying in some additional Prokofiev for the winter, all for about the price of a decent lunch...







I need a Prokofiev piano concertos set. I've been looking at that Naxos set, also Vladimir Ashkenazy/André Previn/LSO on Decca, but this Krainev set looks interesting too, especially for the price. I need to check that out.

Recent purchases; too many to list. None today, at least.

Ashkenazy/Previn is also excellent. I also enjoy Ciccolini's set. Everything I've heard with Antinon Wit has been outstanding. I'm mortified I can't name a bad Prokofiev PC cycle. :)

I can: Bavouzet/Tortelier on Chandos. When I listened to their performance of the 2nd PC, I thought "Where's the fire?" As dull as dishwater came to mind almost immediately.

Now that you mention it, I can't either. In addition to what you mentioned, the Toradze/Gergiev is pretty good. So is the Chandos on Jarvi (which I borrowed recently from a friend) with the two pianists there.

And then there are several I've not heard, but seem to have very good reputations: Beroff/Masur, Browning/Leinsdorf, and Bavouzet/Noseda. Not sure who else made a cycle.
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Added onto this existing order:



After being stunned by the performance Steuart Bedford and the BBC Singers of early Christ's Nativity, I had to find another recording of it. This Layton recording on Hyperion is apparently the world premiere performance, which is very neat to have.

Manuel Rosenthal has over the years given me many hours of pleasure as a conductor (above all, his Ravel, but also his championing of lesser-known operas like Hahn's Le marchand de Venise, Milhaud's Christophe Colomb, even Sauget's Les caprices de Marianne), so I hought I'd explore his compositional output as well (snippets were quite promising). So, I went for these:

Interestingly, I'll be getting one work, Les petits métiers, in two versions (solo piano and orchestral).

I own an earlier issue of this Previn recording, but this one is a Japanese import and I think it's been newly remastered.

Another composer that I did not know, but liked the samples enormously. Ordered. Free shipping at JPC

A fine deal! Love this repertoire, too. Let me know what you think of this recording whenever you receive it and get a chance to listen to it.
