Nice haul, Ritter! The Gerhard Montaigne series is a favourite. The BBC Boulez Mahler 8 has a sense of occasion that's missing in the DG remake.

Thanks, André.  :)

Yes, I know (and very much like) some of this Gerhard CDs on Montaigne, but this Harpsichord Concerto was missing (TBH, I didn't even know it existed). As for the Boulez Mahler 8th from the Proms, I had ordered it from an Amazon MP seller some time ago, but they cancelled the order as it turned out they didn't have a copy. I wanted to listen to this earlyish  Boulez approach to Mahler (and TBH, I think his late studio M8 isn't really very successful).

I'm done buying complete sets  0:). For some of the symphonies I'm still an active buyer though  :)


Haydn 82 and Shostakovich 15.


Tchaikovsky 6





From Kubelik's uneven set, these are the 2 that, for me, stand out among the very best.

Yes my friend it is, changed my name from Harry's corner to Pjotr, for he is after all my Fav composer :)

Will definitely comment on Bayo's disc. On the same day I ordered two more Canteloube compilations (Véronique Gens and Jill Gomez, two superb singers), but Bayo's is the one that I really look forward to discover. The disc is hard to find and I was lucky to grab an inexpensive copy on the marketplace.

Thanks for the comment on the von Otter disc !

I would be very surprised if you were not happy with both the Véronique Gens and Jill Gomez versions.

Ordered the Symphony by Ferroud following discussions here.

Absolutely.
Cheers, Harry :laugh:

Note: I could not return to Harry because that name has been taken by me, or so it says, and I have no idea how to get rid of that account and reinstate my name.

Hi Harry/Pjotr - could you add back your link to your personal blog?  I enjoyed visiting it in the past, but didn't bookmark it.

Thanks,

By the way, I tried to find it via google – it looks like naxos.com is capturing and indexing (some of) your reviews!

First of all I did not know that Naxos was actually publishing my reviews, so that was a great surprise to me.
Unfortunately for all that read my blog, I had to stop doing that, for it took me too much time, and it kept me from listening new CD's in such a way that I did have serious problems with enormous piles of new releases from 2009 onward.
Blog is gone.....sorry
