MI at 11:13 PM:  "not quite yet"
MI at 11:20 PM: "bought this for $5"


Of course, after my binges today (which included Simone Stella's new set, but I posted that in the WAYLT thread),  I should be the last person to mock you.

(And my copy of Percussions des Strasbourg: 50 Ans landed today, to complete the thread relevant details of today)

Lol...no worries, Jeffrey. It wouldn't matter if you mocked me or not, I certainly deserve it here more than anyone else....well except for maybe James.

I would pay 12, 74 for being not on its way, opera, I don't get it, and will never get it.....

Well, at least I know you like operettas and a few (Die Wildshultz?) odd ones here and there. You have enough music to keep you occupied without the distractions of those operas!

True again. Die Wildschutz is a delightful singing spiel And yes operetta is also akin to me, but that doesn't mean I understand the reason for it, and frankly all my musical friends, think is not kosher.

I got these recordings this week :

Some nice stuff! By the way, in the US there is a company called Berkshire Record Outlet. They have a lot of Hyperion cds at 6.99 (or 4.99 for Helios). I am not sure how much you get them for where they are, but if you buy enough discs, it could be economical despite sending them wherever you are.

Thanks!, I am looking forward to hearing this one

Thanks Neal, I heard of BRO but I didnt know they stocked Hyperion discs. I downloaded my discs from the Hyperion site - its quite cheap too (4.99 pounds per Disc). I will check out BRO for sure in future if I want to own the CD

Just bought:



The Bavouzet was a no-brainer and so was this Janacek Kata Kabanova w/ Mackerras/CzPO. Even though my dad collects Janacek, he didn't have this recording and I'm not going to tell him I bought it for him and just find a way to 'slip' it into his collection when he's not around. The reason being is 1. he hates when I buy him a recording (not that he's not appreciative of course) and 2. I'm a big fan of this opera myself, so I've wanted to hear this performance for a long time. Anyway, I look forward to hearing these when they arrive.

This arrived a week ago.  Artemis Quartet performs Schubert's late SQs:

[asin]B007QZ0LR4[/asin]

Mostly I like it, they deliver passionate performances... but just like their Beethoven set some of their interpretative choices are so different from everyone else that it takes getting used to.  Ultimately I like these performances.

Also recently bought and recommend without reservation the excellently performed Trout Quintet by the Domus Quartet:

My "no purchases in 2014" rule included a clause, "...unless the bargain is too good to pass up." I had none of these recordings, and at US $31 including shipping, it qualified. So: purchased!
