I know, you praising this one swayed it instead of the Van Nevel version   

I have also wish-listed their Vaet, Monte & Regnart for later...  0:)

It's almost two years since I got that disc and I still haven't bought more of their recordings. 

[Cosi bel do]

I've wanted this for the 1936 performance of Beethoven's 4th concerto by Serkin for a long time. And I don't think there's any other available release.

Thanks to Moonfish's tip (as well as to his detective work on where to get this affordably  --Deutschland this time):

Maria Tipo's Bach, with Starker doing the cello Suites and Martzy the violin Sonatas and partitas as an unexpected bonus...

Yes, I started reading Rosen's books (very interesting) and was also impressed by your positive posts about the recordings. Of course, I do have a tendency to be impulsive in regards to classical music purchases...

Well, it's a quid pro quo of sorts... your comment prompted me to get Tipo's Bach, I helped you go for Rosen (who also plays some great Bach)  ... this "impuslive" thing rings a bell...

I decided to sample me some Martin Stadtfeld recordings.

Ah, what the hell.

Ah, what the hell.

This looks like an interesting exploration you have started. I'm so happy with the Barenboim recording that I didn't try many others yet: Maria Grinberg (uninteresting to me), Chamayou (4 LoW on his Mendelssohn disk), and Gieseking (I find the Lyric pieces in this set great, the Mendelssohn less).

EDIT: Shani Diluka's LoW also were mentioned often when they were released, but I never heard them.

The Finland definition of summer. 
Snow on the ground again, for a change.

Just bought for $3 (including shipping):



The only duplication in this recording that appears in the Collector's Edition on EMI (Warner now) that I own is the performance of Sinfonietta. Our Hunting Fathers and Quatre Chansons Françaises are new performances to my Britten collection.

I think it's time for the next volume of Bach Cantatas by BCJ/Suzuki. The R. Strauss has been on my wishlist since it was released.

Also bought this today:



Lots of good stuff here: Enescu, Kurtag, Ravel, Ligeti. There's something about seeing a cimbalom being used that gets me excited.

[The new erato]

That's a fine set, just hope the notes are as good as in the single issues.

A very good choice, in my view one of the best sets around. Mind you, I did not expect that when I first bought it, not being a great admirer of Haitink.
