Thank you for including the back cover image, though. I found two things in the blurb quite funny. One was the pretentious beginning, declaring the importance of equality and trying to make the music relevant to that cause. The other was the thin attempt to explain the nepotism of playing music with his son. Musicians play with their husbands, wives, sons, and daughters all the time; there's no reason to pretend Danny needs a different excuse.

The booklet goes into the equality thing in more detail, so it's no more pretentious than lots of other CD writeups.

As to your second point--agreed. And it's not as if some of DB's best known recordings from the first half of his career were as conductor or co-chamber musician with his wife.

As I mentioned somewhere above, I thought I missed it, but then I saw that the full set is available as a lossless download with digital booklet for only $56 from Presto (which is unusual for big box sets).

So, Fricsay, Part I



Also, I've been bemoaning the lack of recordings of Bacewicz symphonies, so this was a no brainer.

I've only heard his Snowstorm orchestral suite which I quite liked.

This is a nice CD. Amazingly, unlike most Olympia CDs it's available cheaply (£5.00) online.

Which composer are you referring to?

PD

p.s.  Snow is falling here; I should do some appropriate listening.

Sviridov is my phone's ring tone. I love that man's music!!

If I can find some of his music on either youtube or through my library system, what would you all suggest that I start with?

The Snowstorm (The Blizzard). As has been pointed out it appears with BBC Music Magazine this month (live performance) but I don't know of this is available in the USA.

This is on my order list. Erbach is maybe not a well know composer regarding his organ works, but after listening to several examples of his music I decided he is a worthy investment. For all I know, this is the first complete recording, and on beautiful organs too. The recordings themselves are top notch too. No complaints about the performer.

I was intrigued as well, will be curious about your findings.
