Going to hear this symphony performed this weekend and not very familiar with it so thought I would get the recording.

Ooh, wonderful recording, and also, I think you are in for a really good time at the concert.

When the series was first issued on LP I purchased the set that contained nos 73-81 and loved everything on it. I'm glad to get that one to replace it.



10-cd set, new, for 25$. Other volumes in the series sell for 4 times that amount. Not sure if it's a pricing error or what, but I couldn't not buy it.

On AmazonUS it's being offered for even less than that. I'd suggest the relatively modern group of singers might be why it's cheap.

Got the Horowitz Original Jacket box 2nd hand for bargain basement price.

   I've always hankered for it, for some reason...

Just to hear Siepi as Sparafucile ... 😚



I was long overdue for a modern performance of the Brahms.



Vishnevskaya sans her husband was not recorded outside of the USSR and what there is is hard to find. Too bad. One of the great voices of her era and an intense performer. Aïda, Butterfly and a clutch of Tchaikovsky roles.

On sale at Europadisc:



The blurry ones at the start are the Atterberg symphonies + string symphony. This may surprise some people since I am a loud 'n' proud Atterbergian on this board and have been for years, but I didn't own the CDs...instead I had old 128kbps MP3s that I burned on my college laptop with CDs from the college library. Time to own them for real in case they go out of print.

Neat!  I hope that you enjoy it. 

I have a fun set (4 CDs I think) which has a record of some of the singers that have performed at the Met.  The set came out, I want to say about two decades ago.  It's in a long-box.  It's called "RCA Met 100" and just double-checked, yes it's 4 CDs.  They're not actual recordings from the Met though (from what I remember there weren't any, but I could be wrong), but it does give you an idea of who sang there, their voices and repertoire.

Sad that there isn't more Vishnevskaya.
