John, I hate to break it to you, but you ARE a collector. If someone looks at the word collector in the dictionary, your picture is there. 

Well a real collector would pay $5,000 for some rare vinyl pressing of an album you could get on CD for $5.

Ha ha. True!

I greatly enjoyed this series of three volumes. Early works by Cimarosa that are not core repertoire but interesting and fun to listen to, especially in the stylish perfomances by Andrea Coen.

OOP and expensive, but if Brilliant or Glossa would reissue these Symphonia recordings I might snap them up.

I certainly pay more for a specific CD I want than for downloads (or heck, I can just stream), or for a larger box.

Interesting. In my mind I wouldn't make that association. If anything I'd make the opposite association, because a collector wouldn't necessarily be interested in DIVESTING.

That is a good point, but I've seen certain sellers on eBay for example that have a HUGE CD collection and they're getting rid of it all and that's fine of course, but the prices he's asking are ridiculous.

That Prokofiev CD is one of my favourites (all three works) of that Chandos series.

Now playing:
Rachmaninov 'The Bells' BBC Nat. Orch. of Wales (Otaka) from the 2019 Proms (came with BBC Music Magazine, Aug. 2021)
The coupling is very interesting as well - Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at  an Exhibition' orchestrated by Sir Henry Wood. This is my favourite orchestration - less sophisticated than Ravel's version but IMO, more authentically 'Russian' and closer to the spirit of the original. 'The Great Gate of Kiev/Kyiv' is especially impressive in Wood's orchestration and the audience clearly enjoyed it. From my point of view I was also very interested in the feature of the composer Ruth Gipps in the magazine.

It's a fine disc for sure, Jeffrey. Oh and I love Rachmaninov's The Bells. Do you know this Svetlanov recording?



It is off-the-chain good.

Hah! You're so right and I was afraid to own up to it --- I still am. I'm scared. Tonight I'll be sleeping with the lights on.

It is an outstanding set, but you're going to find that whatever sets are still floating around out there will be rather expensive. I bought mine off eBay as I had made an offer to a seller and they accepted. It was expensive even with my bid, but the rarity of the set (I don't think it'll ever see any other kind of reissue from Hungaroton) and the fact that I didn't own most of these performances certainly were the deciding factors. This was kind of like the last piece of the Bartók puzzle that I was missing. I'm grateful that I own it --- well, I'm grateful for everything that I own. I'm lucky to have it.
