Amazing! This is a great set and the symphonies themselves are gorgeous.

[Cato]

CHANDOS is offering on-demand recordings from their out-of-print titles: so for my Christmas present  0:)...

[asin]B00000G4NW[/asin]

This is by Nikolai Tcherepnin, father of composer Alexander.

Cost will be about $30.00, which beats the hundreds or even $1,500 desired for used copies.

Amazing! This is a great set and the symphonies themselves are gorgeous.

  Thanks for the feedback Fafner

5 Symphonies by John MARSH (1752-1828)
6 String Quartets by RIGEL (1741-1799)  - period instruments
and 3 not symphonies by MYASKOVSKY: Silence, op. 9 (based on Edgar Allen Poe, I think I've heard the sound of Silence before), Sinfonietta in b op. 32/2 and Divertissement in 3 Movements op. 80  in the Svetlanov series
all from my local B&M

[Octave]

You sure know what to pick, Octave.
Full endorsements for Beschi's Bach, Komen's LvB and Immerseel's Schubert - will curious what you will make of those recordings!

Thanks, that's nice of you to say...it's great that there's a surplus of things I enjoy hearing, but the profusion of options is dizzying, aggravating.  My investigations could perhaps use some more discipline.
I am not sure I have any two-HIP Schubert (practice/instruments) aside from Mackerras/OAE's 5/8/9, so this will be new territory for me.

Also quite glad to hear of more Langgaard quartets forthcoming.

Gluttony reigns supreme:

Holmboe: CHAMBER CONCERTOS (Da Capo)

LOTS of interesting things in your shopping basket, but let me just comment on these, eh? 

I haven't got the first one yet, but it is now on the top of the shopping list. I've listened to the piano concerto online and it was a knockout (and seemed better than the Da Capo version of the same).

The Viola Concerto, I've known for all of, ooh, 4 or 5 days? Loved it and, as I said on the listening thread, was thrilled by the sound quality. Haven't heard the rest of the disc yet! The Chamber Symphonies disc is similarly superb in sound quality - whoever is doing the recording at Da Capo at the moment really knows their stuff.

Arrived today: Herreweghe conducting Bach Cantatas 8, 125 and 138.

I told myself no more music purchases until the New Year, but I couldn't help myself as this was 1. so cheap ($10) and 2. it was indeed on my wish list:



The only other Britten opera recording I'm interested in at the moment is Hickox's Death in Venice (also on Chandos), which comes very highly recommended by Monkey Greg.

[Brahmsian]

Cato, I finally got this Jochum set (a mix of Berlin Philharmonic and Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks)

[asin]B00006YXOX[/asin]

Also, I finally have a recording of Dvorak's Symphonic Poems.  I've heard them before, but just didn't own any recordings (besides The Wild Dove)

[asin]B0032Z1IG0[/asin]

Purchased at my local McNally Robinson bookstore, which has a fairly decent classical music section.

Just bought for $23:



I just couldn't resist. This recording came highly recommended to me by Monkey Greg and the few excerpts I heard of this performance via Spotify really impressed me.

[Octave]

Some more:

[asin]B00EO7XPPC[/asin]
Haydn: QUARTETS [Quatuor Mosaïques] (Naive, 10cd)
The price at Amazon UK just dropped to ~£28; even with shipping and the slipping exchange rate to USD, my copy came to ~$40.

[asin]B003EVPNOU[/asin]
Mozart: SERENADEN & DIVERTIMENTI [Sandor Vegh] (Capriccio, 10cd)
My second attempt to acquire this, h/t Scarpia.  The optimal prices when I ordered last night still seemed to be Amazon MP (UK or US), ~$34-36.

[asin]B00CSFXQM4[/asin]
Chopin: PIANO CONCERTOS + solo works [Martha Argerich w/Dutoit] (EMI, 2cd)
EMI France edition; hopefully the second disc really is the same as the "Legendary 1965" disc with a different cover photo.

[asin]B000006O66[/asin]
Korngold/Schmidt: MUSIC FOR STRINGS AND PIANO LEFT HAND (Leon Fleisher et al)
H/t Grazioso and New Erato.  FYI I happened to notice that this OOP disc is included in both the Fleisher and Yo-Yo Ma big boxes.

[jlaurson]

Cato, I finally got this Jochum set (a mix of Berlin Philharmonic and Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks)

No Bruckner set is definitive... but this is certainly splendiferous! Even the earliest performance (5th), if sonically not up to date, is among the finest 5th of any (complete) set.

[The new erato]

I ordered these:
