Fauré and Chopin impromptus combined is a rather interesting idea.

Ain't it?

Then there's also this:



Will report on both in the listening thread.

I thought I was immune, but then importcds (eBay store) sent me an email saying they would offer me an extra 10% discount, bring it down to $44 with free shipping. I succumbed.



Oddly enough, importcds offers it cheaper on eBay than on their own web site.

Nice deal! Well done!

That often happens. I've bought a lot of box sets from importcds, and always have to check both the site and eBay store.

Just bought these. Have been on the want list a long time, finally acted.

Used copy on Ebay on the way, not seen this one around often so I snapped it.

That is a desert island recording.  In a very crowded field of Bach cantatas, Herreweghe for me stands supreme.

Vine is a composer completely new to me; the Martinu is two one act operas I don't have; nor do I remember having anything by Rubenstein--Naxos seems to have gotten 87 minutes of music onto a single CD, btw.

Vine is a composer completely new to me;

Well the 1st piano sonata has essentially become his calling card, and it's a stunner. Though I don't know what that performance is like.

I used to own the Barshai, but don't remember selling it but haven't owned it in quite awhile... must have been lost in a move at one point?

Never got around to buying this for some reason, oops:



Re-purchase of my favorite Sibelius cycle, used to have it before I had culled my entire collection for streaming, I still have the rip but I like having a physical copy:

[vers la flamme]

That Brahms cycle is just phenomenal. In fact those are the recordings that got me into Brahms, and he's now possibly my favorite composer. Have heard great things about the Barshai Shostakovich and Vänskä/Lahti Sibelius too.
