Wow. Soon you'll have as many of those as you have of Turangalila.

I doubt that, Ken. :) I actually don't own many Turangalila-Symphonie performances nor have I heard that many of them. Nate is the man to ask about this work. :)

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"

24th Sibelius cycle???
I would not have thought that there were so many readily available...
Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.

And there's still more to go. ;D I think this Berglund will be my last as 24 is a good even number to stop on. :)

If Lintu ever releases a symphony cycle, then that'll be my 25th. :)

Thank you. I only have a small number of recordings by the Griller SQ but I really like them. The Bloch SQs were new works for me so it seemed like a good place to start for me.

I'm not that much of a handelian (I know, I know, that's my loss and not George Frideric's  ;) ), but I can say I find Sandrine Piau an utterly delightful singer  :-*. Enjoy!

It is precisely that. Bloch is one of my 20th century Top 5. His SQ's are underserved, but this group does them well!

Small surprises that, incidentally, are a large part of its beauty.  ;D

Anyway, I'd bet that you had purchased that set, at least, 15 years ago...
