Haydn's Haus

It's still not released in the States. The page is for an import, hence the expense.

Ah, that makes sense then, as much as such stuff ever could. The 'import' thing is a scam, no two ways about it. I suppose back in the days when CD's were carried over here on 6 week voyages in wooden sailing ships it made sense. Now, not so much...

Ahh, yes. The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

Off to get more scores.

Special request: can one of you guys check out my blog using the link in my footer, and check to see if all of the special characters like ö, á, ü  etc. are all screwed up? I have been complaining about this to the blog people and they haven't done anything; wondering if it is just me?

Yeah, screwed up. Here's what I see:

Così fan Tutte
Zauberflöte
OCD…
Kurzböck
La Infedeltà Delusa
Der Götterath

Sarge

Mozart's Così fan Tutte
Kurzböck
Sorting out the Keyboard Music â€" You wish

   Damn. Makes me look like even more of a moron...     

Thanks for checking, guys. Boy, I haven't seen that sort of crap since Unicode came out.

McCabe, Buchbinder or Derzhavina please ?  0:)

(I only have the partial brendel).

Others will have a more complete response, I can only say that McCabe served me very well for several years before my PI addiction took over. Even now I listen to a disk here and there. He's very good.

Of those, I like Derzhavina.

Brautigam and Beghin.

The Beghin box is wonderful.

Right now, I would also choose Derzhavina.

I have owned the McCabe set for several years and, as Gurn says, it's an excellent approach, but Derzhavina is closer to the stylistic ideas favored these days (especially with a significant reduction of pedal). Additionally, she is a girl and, spiritually, this music has an especial relationship with ladies.

IMO, Buchbinder is also a good choice, if you're searching for a traditional pianistic approach.

Interesting, Gordo's points vis-a-vis Derzhavina are both well-taken. I believe that even if someone prefers a modern piano, some aspects of historical authenticity are well taken. In the event I ever wish to acquire a MI box for myself, I will look at this one first.

I like the Derzhavina set very much. Listening to it was one of the reasons I wanted to hear Haydn's music as much as possible, not only popular ones. Then, I purchased Brilliant Classics Haydn Edition, including another set of keyboard sonatas (PI, Oot etc.) And now I also have the Schornsheim set (PI), but still the Derzhavina set is my favorite (so far). I usually prefer PI to MI (especially for strings), but Derzhavina's clear playing is suited for Haydn's music very well, I think.

I am going to call the 39th "The Parking Violation" from now on. I went to the music store last week and after making a purchase the really nice lady there gave me the score and set of parts for 39 (I ask to buy the score separately and she responds "How many times have I told you?? I don't want those parts!" ). Worth $40. I go back to my car and I got a $40 parking ticket because I was too stupid to understand how the parking garage system worked .

Read the ticket carefully. There is often a period where if you pay fast it is only half. That's the case here, when I bought my Parking Violation music.

Oh, man, good news :: bad news. You got an interesting score, no doubt. he price was a bit on the steep side though.   

I think I have my blog fixed now. TypePad was not a lot of help, but I figured it out for myself. At least it looks right to me, if anyone happens to go by there, let me know.

Thanks, Sarge. TypePad need to hire me to fix their issues, I guess.
