A must have for me.  Thanks. But it appears unavailable from all the sites where I found it.  Your ORF site is one I can't navigate.

I noticed that is was OOP as well, hence my resorting to the ORF webshop....

If it helps, here is the link: http://shop.orf.at/1/shop.tmpl?art=4197&lang=EN

Perhaps try a different browser?

Harry convinced to try the Singer Pur "Renaissance am Rhein" album and Kelemen's rendition of excerpts from the Buxheimer Orgelbuch.

The Brandenburgers was a recommendation by Gordo.

Nice selection, Que! I think you will love the Telemann, too.

Particularly, those disks performed by the Camerata Köln, including the complete Der Getreue Music-Meister.

P.S.: BTW, for those interested in Der Getreue Music-Meister, this collection includes 5 CDs, originally released in 1992. Unfortunately, as usual with these re-releaseases, it doesn't include liner notes.

Lately I have been more interested of 20th century (post war) composers. These composers seem to be really hit and miss considering my preferences and taste. One really interesting composer seems to be Mieczyslaw Weinberg. I saw his opera "The Passenger" on TV some time ago and I was impressed. Today I finally bought my first Weinberg disc:

[asin]B0034JV62A[/asin]
It was rather cheap (marketplace seller). Weinberg might become one of my favorite composers. Time will tell...

Just bought a plethora of Ormandy/Philadelphia recordings (all are Japanese imports) of some of my favorite composers:

Is that "Concerto for orchestra" the one in which he cut part of the ending because he didn't like it?

Is that "Concerto for orchestra" the one in which he cut part of the ending because he didn't like it?

I have no clue. That would be a pretty cool thing to have on record if this is that version (even though I don't agree with it in principle).

This is the only thing I could find about him not liking something about the Concerto for Orchestra:

Cloyd Duff, timpanist with the Cleveland Orchestra, once recalled how Szell had insisted that he play the snare drum part in Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, an instrument which he was not supposed to play. A month after having recorded the concerto in Cleveland (October 1959), it was to be performed at Carnegie Hall, as part of an annual two-week tour of the Eastern United States along with Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5. Szell had begun getting increasingly irritated about the side drum part in the second movement and by the time they reached New York, Szell's escalation was going off the scale. "Starting with the one who had played on the recording, Szell tried out each of the staff percussionists on the side drum part. He made them so nervous that, one by one, they all stumbled. Finally Szell turned to timpanist Cloyd Duff."

This is the story as Duff tells it:

"Szell came to me and said to me, "Cloyd I want you to play the snare drum part. I remember how you played these things in Philadelphia [over twenty years earlier at the Robin Hood Dell when Szell was guest conductor and Duff was a student at Curtis]." He had an awfully good memory, he liked my percussion playing. He said, "I want you to play the part," and I really blew my lid. I said, "You're ruining the whole section. Nobody can make a diminuendo to please you because they're so nervous. Every one of those men is capable of doing that." He said, "Even so, I want you to play the part." I said, "Do you realize how silly that will look, to see me get up from the timpani to go over to the snare drum and then back to the timpani and back to the snare drum at the end?" I said, "It's really uncalled for," or words to that effect. But, he said, "OK, but I want you to play that part. It's very important that we do it just right." I said, "OK, I'll play it for you, but don't you dare look at me." So when I played it, I played it louder than they had played it before so I had more room to make a diminuendo. Everybody was a little bit shocked that I had played it as loudly as I did. But Szell, true to his word, looked away, didn't look at me once and I didn't look at him under the circumstances."

Pounds the table! Great choices, Greg. I don't own the Horenstein recording however, so please let me know what you think of it whenever you have heard it.

Just bought:



I bought this recording for Kubelik's Nielsen of course, but hearing Dorati in Sibelius should prove interesting as well.

A splendid disc, but I assume you didn't know it's available here together with perhaps even more impressive discs, and quite reasonably priced too.
