First purchases of 2015:





All bought from Presto Classical. The Mendelssohn/Schumann recording was quite cheap ($9.75) and it's a two-disc set: one audio CD and one Blu-Ray.

[Brian]

I need a bigger apartment. Orders from ImportCDs, Presto Classical, Amazon, Amazon Marketplace, and Berkshire Record Outlet.

Part I: Big Box Bonanza





Part II: Piano Party



Part III: Thanks a Lot, Greg Moeller



Part IV: Miscellaneous Other

 

This still gives me about $100 in discretionary CD money to play with over the course of 2015. That will probably go towards the Jean Martinon Chicago box set and the two new Vera Gornostaeva CDs from LP Classics, unless I can snag review copies, which seems pretty likely since nobody knows who Gornostaeva is, yet.

[Brian]

That's a total of 157 CDs.

Also good to know: Capital One has terrific fraud protection. I got a panicky text message, and a panicky email, within seconds.

I did on a couple occassions from my card company too. Good thing, there was once a $1 bogus charge they flagged. Clearly a probe by some malefactors, so the card was cancelled.

Nice haul.

I only see one or two images Brian, the rest is a blank

I see it all and wish I hadn't. NBut it cannot be unseen.

That begs the question, why do you see it, and I not. Am I not to be tempted?

I have a bunch of the Zehetmair recordings. Most of this has been available rather cheaply in diverse reissue series for years and some things (Mozart concerti) have been superseded by re-recordings of the same artist.
But it seems worthwhile for those who do not own many of them already. And I'd love to get the disc with Mozart/Haydn Duos (w/ Tabea Zimmermann) which is unfortunately oop and expensive used. Zehetmair looks like a hippie on some of these covers, there is also one cover picture with him sporting a full beard (overall looking like Ruebezahl) like on the Schumann sonatas (a rarity I was not aware of)

Looks like Brian has put most of them as pictures in http://i.sdcd.us

Maybe your computer blocks this site?

Yes it does, haven't a clue why, but my virus scanner thinks its not safe

I'm sure you can register it on an exception list somewhere in the software if you want to see them.

That is a fine performance, AnthonyAthletic. It's certainly one of my favorite performances of Walton's 1st. I don't have this particular release as I own the one that's coupled with Belshazzar's Feast.

I decided to start 2015 off with a bang, buying everything I've been itching to buy lately.  This should tide me over for months – LvB piano sonata recordings excluded.  This group of orders marks the first time I have ordered from New Zealand.

Well, that Temirkanov box is a temptation;  the Fifth and Sixth are good and meaty, and it was this recording of the Seventh which illuminated the piece for me.

I checked my collection, and it turns out I have 2.5 discs worth of material - I had miscounted that EMI/Warner recording of 5 & 6 as being in this set.  I paid something like $16 total for 3.5 discs of what I already know is worth premium price.  I say this is too good a bargain to pass up.
