Can anyone shed any light on this cd release?  Anyone have it, heard it, rate it?

Just about to push the button on it as its around the £5 mark and a no brainer if it at all compares to Horenstein @ Unicorn Kanchana, its coupled with Arrau doing the Brahms 1st concerto (Montreux, 17 September, 1962).

And Abbado's Vienna Mahler 4th with Frederica von Stade is one of the best Mahler recordings I know...

Abbado has the distinction of conducting both one of my most favored (7th/Berlin) and most disliked (2nd/Vienna) Mahler recordings (his Chicago 2nd is much better).

It's possible I am mistaken. I just remember turning it off. Since I have seen a number of performances of the 6th and 7th since then (on video), they start to become one!

The Boulez performance was probably the Seventh, since that was broadcast on PBS a couple of years back.  I keep finding myself consistently underwhelmed by his Mahler recordings--they're actually good,  but somehow they should be much better....

Last week I got half of Karajan's 80s LvB cycle from B&N.  Just now I ordered the other half from Amazon MP.


Nota bene: I ordered from Amazon MP, but Amazon itself only offers these as CD-Rs.

Excellent, Jeffrey. I received my 80s Karajan Beethoven set today. Since you're much more versed in Beethoven than I am, I look forward to reading your comments about the performances. Keep me posted!

ordered today HAHN Violin concerto and Piano concerto  not played by Hahn though, will probably arrive in 23-24 days.

ordered today HAHN Violin concerto and Piano concerto  not played by Hahn though, will probably arrive in 23-24 days.

Very nice pieces, particularly the rather nostaligic Piano concerto  ...Hope you enjoy! AFAIK, Hahn himself never played his concerto, but did conduct it on record with Magda Tagliaferro as soloist (quite a beautiful recording too, despite the 1930's sound). This is the cover of one of the LP incarnations of the recording (which is also available in several Hahn collections on CD):



As for me, just got this book from amazon.fr:



It's a 1982 reprint of the original 1958 edition. I think this is the book that upset Vera Stravinky when she saw it on sale in the foyer of the concert hall when Stravinsky conducted the (disastrous) first Paris perfomance of Threni in Boulez's Domaine Musical series. Let's see what all the fuss was about...

The samples sounds spectacular, played on a pristine Trost Organ, by a musician I respect.
This is going to be the beginning of a long friendship.

Bravo! Two of my favorite recordings, I hope you enjoy them!

I'm sure I will, Greg! I don't know how I've managed to avoid L'Enfance so long, as Berlioz is one of my very favourite composers. The Gerontius I've already heard on Spotify - and actually I'm just listening to the Prelude again now.

...I don't know how I've managed to avoid L'Enfance so long, as Berlioz is one of my very favourite composers. ...

I myself have not listened to L'Enfance for quite a while now, but rememeber it as very beautiful...The faux-17th century Shepherds' farewell chorus is very, very touching. Enjoy!

The bits I've heard are very beautiful indeed.
Listening to L'adieu des bergers and the trio pour deux flûtes et harpe from this recording on Spotify now - gorgeous.

Thanks for that which I shall watch for.  I was actually thinking of Hilary Hahn and the violin Concerto.

Hey, you - as a fellow Molardi admirer - spotted it too!

Very glad to hear that it lives up to expectations. It goes on the wish list.
