Initial listens to both seem very promising.

Just ordered at Presto Music:



Trying to get used to Brexit. Instead of orderering all the items I want, I have to create small batches with a value, including shipping, of under €22. Basically a small set like this, or two single discs. The deduction of VAT by Presto makes up for the increased shipping costs.
So I don't pay taxes in the UK anymore, but spend it instead on postage.

And spend less in generall - because the time of larger box sets, or basically anything else I used to order from the UK, is over...

Q

Welcome to the world I have lived in for years. Have always bought big boxes occassionally, but tend to buy several boxes in one shipment twice a year. I don't mind buying VAT (VAT deduction for imports essentially means that foreign shops have an advantage to local shops), it's the handling fees that are really annoying. But I guess that inside the EU you paid UK VAT instead, Norway is outside the EU VAT regime.

A fine set Que, and as to regards to ordering large batches of CD'S from the UK, that over for me too. And I am pissed about this, I can tell ya!

The Rachmaninov is excellent, but I haven't heard the Dudamel.

A great choice, which I'm sure you'll enjoy André - especially Symphony No.3.

[Traverso]

Louis Couperin

At last this recording appears,we had to wait years for this one.



A fifth organ volume is still in preparation.

You mentioned the music very favourably, Jeffrey and at the time (not too long ago) that disc was quite expensive, so I passed. This week I stumbled upon it at a very affordable price !

I have cut down on my CD buying recently (honestly!) but I did order this CD mainly for Malcolm Williamson's final symphony (No. 7 for strings) although the samples that I heard of the other works sounded very promising:

Of course I tried that too, but resistance is futile, cutting down you will, but not on buying CD'S, addiction is stronger!

A release from a couple of years ago I somehow missed:



These are piano duo arrangements by Stravinsky himself of some of his works. An earlier release by the Bugallo-Williams piano duo included the well-known Sacre adaptation, but the really interesting pieces were remarkably successful reductions of the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto and the Septet. In this newer CD we get Petrouchka (an arrangement which I presume is for practical purposes and wouldn't compete with that bravura jewel that is the Trois mouvements), but what really piqued my interest is the two-piano Agon (as that  ballet is an eternal favourite of mine).

Nice! Do let me know what you think of that recording once you've had time to listen to it, Rafael.
