I like that you changed your avatar to John Adams and you're already moving on to the next John Adams 

Indeed!

Nice!!    I guess there is still room?

Heavens yes! Everything fits in one bookshelf, more or less (maybe 120cm wide, but floor to ceiling). I've ordered 2 new bookshelves, by the way

I hope you will like it as much as I do. 

I'm sure I will enjoy it. As much as you, we will see.

Thank you for posting this, I was unfamiliar with this band and conductor but streamed this album last night on Apple Music and it's delightful! Just ordered it from Europadisc. The same combo's recording of Rameau's Le temple de la Gloire might be my next purchase.

I recently listened to a few of these performances on Spotify and decided it would be sensible to have it at home. At under 15$ (delivered) it's a good deal.

I bought some Previn today too Mookalafalas--but not nearly as much as you did.

A friend and I were doing an errand near a thrift shop and I asked if we could go in there.  I picked up the following CDs:

With Previn:  Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky & Lt. Kije with the Los Angeles Phil Orch.
                    Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra and Janacek's Sinfonietta with same orchestra
Two Copland Conducts Copland CDs:  one of Our Town, Red Pony Suite, etc. with the New Philharmonia Orchestra
                                                       the other has Appalachian Spring (orig. complete version), Lincoln Portrait & Billy The Kid with the London SO
a CD of Walter Piston:  Symphony Nos. 2, 6 and Sinfonietta with Gerard Schwarz and Seattle Sym. and the NY Chamber Symphony
and lastly a CD of Marilyn Horne of Handel, Rossini, Bizet, etc. on London (Grandi Voci)

There was also a CD of Previn conducting Holst's The Planets which I really wanted to get, but I was concerned about a circular scratch that I saw on it.

Yes, I ordered it from them - couldn't resist the unknown (to me) Howard Hanson work.

Really interesting looking program.

Yes, I'm sure I never knew Cowell had written so substantial a piece!

Still debating whether I want to give the Loeffler a try.

A nice haul, PD. Those Copland and Piston recordings are great. I'm not sure about the Previn ones, however, as I never heard them, but I do love the repertoire. By the way, do you ever do any shopping online for CDs?

[Carlo Gesualdo]

One hell of a CD  on ZIG ZAG really expensive I had it for 33 euro , while some e seller sell this singular CD for 80 euro , so I consider myself Lucky, this album that I had in download will know be mine, the very impressive Adam DE Halle d'amoureus ...CD

WH=hat a fantastical & grandiose CD , instrumentally speaking it's a full plate delight the vocal are charming and enchanting, the listener is catapult in medieval ancient lore ars vetus, a very great CD, it sound so top notch, better and more surreal than any other Adam DE la Hale album, I should know I got them all.

Passion like never ending flame, Adam DE la Halle  will remain a central actor in ars vetus movement of medieval era!

Lucky you! The old school approach.  I haven't played a single disk of the Previn yet.  Even stranger, I bought his previous box last year for my birthday, and haven't opened it yet! It went OOP right when I got it, and the price shot up, sometimes to $1000 (supposedly). I am still on the fence about whether to open it or not

Ordered some Early Music items from my wishlist by a few favourite ensembles: Capilla Flamenca, Cappella Pratensis en the Huelgas Ensemble.
