Yup, but they still have that Olympia disc I keep passing up. :o

How much is it?

There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

Which Olympia disc, Bill?


Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Ah, yes, nice one. Well, luck is on your side, Bill, if you want this recording - it's been reissued by Alto/Musical Concepts for pretty cheap:

Ah, so a wash.  Just a matter of who did a better pressing I guess.  Thanks, Don!

And the Olympia is a shade better than the Regis, haven't heard the Alto.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing but this album deserves to be bought for "Op39. No2 in A minor / Lento assai " alone  0:)

oh... and for "Preludes Op23. No5 in G minor / Alla marcia " too  ;D

and the rest ain't too shabby either...  :P

I compared Richter's 1964 Aldeburgh performance in a different transfer recently, this time the Music and Arts. The sound on the aforementioned Living Stage 2 CD set was better, more open and less noise reduced.

Found these two rare gems today in the used bins:



Both have material that is (I think) unavailable anywhere else.

:D  George, I love it.  43 pages and counting with at least a post per page.  That's probably like me in the Taneyev thread.  8)

I tell ya, if Richter wasn't this good, I would have stopped by now. The Liszt on the CD pictured above is absolutely stunning!

How is the Franck piano quintet?  That is one flat out fantastic chamber work!
