HMV Japan shows it available for order, but it could also have been a limited run.  That's why I buy reissues like this immediately.

This is what I found..


"wilhelm backhaus the complete decca recordings" did not match any products"

Did I something wrong?

Is it already OOP ? 

[SonicMan46]

Well, some of use were up but were rather busy at work (in fact as you posted I was having a fairly miserable time)...

However, earlier today I found this very enjoyable.

Enjoy Beethoven's wind works - just listened to the above on Spotify and liked, apparently modern instruments BUT natural horns!

Stimulated me to put on the 4-CD CPO box below w/ Klocker and his gang; also have Azzolini in several other works - BUT wondering about period instrument performances - any comments?  P.S. already own a bunch of the LvB Piano/Wind Quintet, so covered on that work.  Dave

   

[André]

A very slow performance that uncovers so many details along the way that it becomes more alive and interesting than most others. Despite the slow tempi, it is always on the move, with an unerring sense of flow, from caressing to surging, grieving to triumphant. The WP strings have a field day under Giulini, encouraged to sing with magnificent tone. They also use a generous amount of portamenti in the finale. This is big, brawny, bronzen Brahms. The engineering is excellent.

Boughton: Symphony No. 3
Royal PO/Handley

I have not dug this one out for absolutely ages!

Prokofiev Symphony No.5/Miaskovsky Symphony No.21

[kyjo]

Listening to Vyacheslav Nagovitsin: Violin Concerto and it's really excellent!

Wow, talk about obscure! There's a lot of interesting Soviet era composers who we hardly know about these days. While it's nice to see, say, Weinberg getting so much attention it would be good to see record companies also give some attention to some other lesser-known Soviet composers.

[Scion7]

Copland - as well as Bartok and Janacek - was adaptable.

Let us know what you think!

[kyjo]

I guess I'm the only one up...

One more work before bed:

Hindemith
Trauermusik
Geraldine Walther (viola)
San Francisco Symphony
Blomstedt

An utterly fantastic disc. I just gave it a spin a few days ago.

[Traverso]

Tchaikovsky

The Nutcracker

The Concertgebouw Orchestre Antal Dorati

[Symphonic Addict]

Symphony No. 2

I often forget how Straussian the first movement is. A very buoyant, colourful, lush movement. This performance is remarkable too.

Too expensive for me,maybe interesing for others.




Dear bidder, Jan.
It is quite a unique release. I have therefore decided to put it up for auction on Catawiki. He will probably yield more than € 500. Separate volumes are often available on e-bay for € 120 per set of 6. The set was only marketed in Germany. It is one of the most important editions ever in the history of the record industry Reflexe, Stationen europäischer Musik. This series of 60 CDs was decisive for the careers of Jordi Savall, Ton Koopman, Hilliard Ensemble, Studio der Frühen Musik, and many other famous ensembles. Without this series, the appreciation of early music would undoubtedly have been limited to a select group of musicologists. For many this "Reflexe" was the first encounter with Lionel Power, Abelard, Monteverdi, Cavalli and Dufay, with the Llibre Vermell and the lute music of Weiss. Famous recordings such as "Cansóns de Trobairitz" and "L'Agonie de Languedoc" have appeared in this series. The albums were almost without exception awarded the "Grand Prix du Disque", "Edison" and "Deutscher Schallplattenpreis".
My lot has not been approved yet, but as soon as this happens I will send you a link and remove this ad.
Greetings Ellen.

Obviously somewhat Shostakovich inspired. Slightly strident live sound from 1983 but definitely OK. The following Slonimsky is even better, and in great 1988 studio sound.

[The new erato]

Now playing the string symphonies for the first time after 45 years of listening to classical, and owning this set for about 5 (?) years.

Yes the price is much to high, otherwise I would go for it

Well Kyle, Prokofiev's 5th Symphony is taken very slowly and at times sounds oddly unidiomatic. Having said that I found Petrenko's approach worked well in the slow movement, especially at the marvellously doom-laden and oppressive climax. On balance I'm glad to have this recording but I prefer Rozhdestvensky's interpretation overall. As for the Miaskovsky, it is a good performance although I found the sound had an oddly boxed-in quality to it and I do not, for example, prefer it to the eloquent David Measham recording on Unicorn, to Morton Gould's pioneering RCA recording or, for that matter to Svetlanov's eloquent version. I do, however, like the fact that the Prokofiev is coupled with the music of his great friend Miaskovsky and, on this basis, I will certainly pick up the recording of Prokofiev's 6th Symphony with Miaskovsky's valedictory 27th Symphony next year.
