Purchases Today

[Mirror Image]

Bought during the system crash:



I told myself I wasn't going to be buying any more recordings during the pandemic and, boy, have I continued to make a fool out of myself with such pronouncements.

[JBS]

Due to a sale of Brilliant boxes at JPC, for ridiculous prices I bought 2 boxes.

I have the  Alkan, it's well worth having. I have one or two of the individual issues of the Monteverdi, but not enough to give an opinion on the set.

Been working on a big Early Music haul for the past month or so. There are even a few others I didn't post a pretty picture of, one more Josquin (Clerk's Group), two Ockeghem (Tallis Scholars, Oxford Camerata), and Requiem compilation (Tallis Scholars). I have a few more I'd like to get, as I'm becoming more and more obsessed with this era.

Two truly winning discs there! I enjoy each work from those recordings.

Excellent, Cesar. I already owned the one with Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2, so it was high time I completed this series.

This landed today


Turns out of the 10 CDs in the Fromm set, I have four as part of other sets. But that leaves six others, at least a couple of which seem never have made it to CD before now.

Have the above as a Download and have had it on high rotation of late (so thought I'd pick up a Physical copy of the recordings)...

I remember reading good things about the Bartok and am looking forward to your reviews.  Langgaard is also on my radar.  :-)

JBS - That Hough/Beethoven cover art is really terrible, but I am curious about the performances.

I failed to resist a ridiculous clearance sale (through tomorrow only) at Europa:



A total of 20 CDs shipped for US $86. (The Davis Haydn was $4 for two SACDs! Super Duper Cheap Bargain alert!)

And then I also failed to resist a ridiculous clearance sale at Presto:



A total of 33 CDs shipped for US $86. (coincidence!)

And finally from Presto I ordered high-res FLAC downloads of Louis Lortie's Saint-Saens piano concerto cycle, a compilation of woodwind music by Ligeti Barber Nielsen Hindemith and Janacek, and Andrew Davis' Berlioz L'enfance starring a GMG member in the choir! Might go back for more - looking at Lortie's Faure and there is a bargain in the $10-for-two-albums Scharwenka concerto set.

Also later this week, before May turns to June, I gotta go to eClassical and buy a bunch of $4.50-5 Naxos album downloads.
