I've been in the market for another recording of Preludes & Fugues and Karlo (North Star) recommended the Ashkenazy to me. I did a broad sampling of this performance and I concur --- it's excellent. The other recording (also with Ashkenazy at the piano) was a no-brainer as it was recorded with the Fitzwilliam Quartet, but also has Söderström in the Seven Romances.

I heard the Cello Concertino by Weinberg on the car radio the other day and thought it great. As with Bliss's Cello Concerto (originally 'Concertino') the diminutive title doesn't do the work full justice:

I believe the Concertino was the "preliminary form" of his ineffably beautiful Cello Concerto. If you don't know the latter, you must hear it! It's a more long-breathed and convincing working-out of the ideas presented in the Concertino.

That Ashkenazy set is wonderful the same  goes for Rusalka

Excellent to read, Jan. I was in the market for another Rusalka as I only have Neumann's. With Mackerras at the helm, it should be very good. Yes, I'm looking forward to the Ashkenazy set of Preludes & Fugues, which must be counted as one of my favorite solo piano works from any composer.

Picked this up on the cheap, it'll be my first acquaintance with Schubert's early quartets.  Greatly enjoying Disc 1 -- charming music   .

That's a fine Purchase Karl, you will enjoy it immensely, I know I did.!

I am sure of it, Harry, hoe gaat het met jou?

After the high praise Suitner's Dvořák received from various members here, I decided it was time I take the plunge, but instead of buying the box set, I opted for these Japanese reissues. Plus, I think the box sets don't contain the bonus couplings you get with some of these individual recordings like Carnival et. al.

Interesting, I don't think I knew there were single-disc options available. I'll have to compare what you get. Suitner is one of my possibilities for a cycle (partly to cover symphonies 1 to 3 if I so choose, as I only have 4 to 9 in my collection).

I am good Karl, overcoming a few maladies, and physical unpleasant occurrences, but those come with age, as you might well know. And you, how are you recovering?

Yeah, these were Japanese imports and have been remastered. They're all on the Deutsche Schallplatten label. I've heard nothing but great things about these performances. What performances do you own in Symphonies Nos. 4-9?

I wish 

Fortunately she has quite a discerning ear. She does not allocate enough time to herself to indulge it, unfortunately.
