Very cool, Karlo. Thanks for the videos. I've listened to some of these before I just couldn't remember them. Joutsenet is a great work. I re-listened to that one just awhile ago.

Noticed ArkivMusic has the Grand Piano label on sale and made a tactical strike.



I'd have ordered the two Saint-Saens volumes I don't have, but the one I do have is marked by extremely disappointing pianism.

My final purchases until Christmas:





And let's not forget the purchases I made earlier today...

Dunstaple by Orlando Consort (Metronome)
I liked the Dunstaple recording by the Hilliards so much (reissued last year as a Virgin 2cd w/their L. Power recording), I followed a superlative recommendation of Amazon's 'Giordano Bruno' to this recording.  The ASIN above offered 'new' copies that were expensive but still affordable.  A cheaper price at Importcds, but it looks like it would require backordering, and this item looks like it is well on its way to being totally OOP.  I am also interested in a Tonus Peregrinus (sic?) disc on Naxos, which sounds like it would be pretty nice.

Studio der Fruhen Musik: MUSIC FROM THE MIDDLE AGES (Virgin-France, 5cd)

[North Star]

It certainly is! I have posted some of the videos here before, so no wonder that you've heard them.

I just noticed the the price dropped on the only two items that had been hanging around in my Arkiv Music cart (the first two items below), so I decided to buy them and take a risk on the HAYREN disc and the Tormis disc, which I only really know by sound samples.  Because I'm a helpless rube for sales, I took the discount bait and also purchased Arkiv's ""VIP Club" free-shipping-for-a-year thingadoo.  Reel that sucker in!
It is true that Arkiv offers great deals on sale stuff, with some frequency; and I owe them for use of their site for discographical purposes.


$7


For $8.  I see this was shortlisted by Jens in his recent introductory classical collection for ~$100 list via IonArts and/or Forbes.  I had borrowed this and was playing it at home ~4.5 years ago, and my roommate, who knew even less about classical music than I did, listened to the churning motorik (iirc) of one of the Stravinsky pieces and said, "Bach is awesome!"  He was right in more ways than one!

[asin]B00008UAFW[/asin]
HAYREN: Mansurian/Komitas by Kashkashian et al.....$8

[asin]B00002DEH5[/asin]
Veljo Tormis: LITANY TO THUNDER.....$8

[Lisztianwagner]

My final purchases until Christmas:

Never knew about this piece (WTWTA). Just sampled a few tracks, not what I was expecting!!    I'll have to listen to whole thing soon.

Excellent, Ilaria! That's a great set.

Yeah, what little I've heard of it sounded great, Greg.

Italians, terribly nice people and you can trust them to come with discs with the most obscure themes - it took me a while to figure this one out from the packaging!

But it was a super-bargain and Roberta Invernizzi is singing in it, so..

...and Roberta Invernizzi is singing in it, so..

Brava!  Diva!

[Fafner]

These finally arrived:

A lot of music for months to come.

BTW, did I miss John's birthday splurge?  Happy birthday, John.

EDIT:
This makes my sixth complete Ring cycle (Solti, Janowski, Neuhold, Furtwängler 1950, Furtwängler 1954, Boulez-Chereau [DVD] + Leinsdorf's Walküre on Decca)

  I owns only a  Faure's chamber music boxset by the old French musicians (Ferras,Tortelier,Francois,Dumay,Heidsieck), so updating the new box with contemporary performers is a good idea.

About the title of this thread: Is it just me or that "new" added in front of "purchases today" sounds a bit redundant?

We used to have a "Purchases Today" thread, but this is the New "Purchases Today" thread.  Unless I misunderstand, in which case all my second-hand purchases have been off-topic.

A mix of CDs and MP3s.

This morning:


Savall: Bach's B minor Mass


Holloway: Bach's Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin


Byron Janis Collection


Schumann's chamber music

We used to have a "Purchases Today" thread, but this is the New "Purchases Today" thread.  Unless I misunderstand, in which case all my second-hand purchases have been off-topic.

It's crystal clear, if we must understand the title as New "Purchases Today" Thread.
