Haydn's Haus

[Gurn Blanston]

I am using Google Reader in which the listings will show up as items under the eBay header.  I will setup something like your search, and even if there is dross, scrolling down the list is not nearly as bothersome as emails and much more convenient than visiting the site itself.  If I see something I wish to bid on or buy, I can just click the title and it will take me to the listing.

If you have not used an RSS reader I highly recommend one (Google Reader is fine but there are many others) for sites for which you wish to have new content pushed out to you instead of you having to go to the site.

My iGoogle home page allows RSS feeds, and I use them for all sorts of news sites and such, but I haven't quite figured out how to get an eBay feed going yet. That would be something to piddle with when I have some time.

All you have to do is construct your search on eBay then scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the orange RSS icon.  Right click it and choose "Copy link location", then paste that in the "Subscribe" box in Google Reader.  It's simple, and I just did it for a modified version of your search (I added -dorati -gould and chose "best offer" as well as other limiters) and got a fairly good list.

Yup, just did it too and it worked fine on my home page. Fit right in between "Science News" and "Big Butt Review"....

This is the search that I set up for Haydn in eBay:

Haydn -Lili -Brahms -baby -dudewheresmyobi

The category is "CD's", and in my case, I selected "North America only" and "Accepts PayPal".

Of course, if you collect Japanese pressings for hundreds of $$, you can choose not to eliminate "Dude, where's my Obi?". I find it to be a pain in the ass.

I run this search every morning without fail. It has paid off handsomely for me over the years.

Why do you need to exclude Brahms, baby and Lili (Langtry?)?

I've used Ebay exactly once, to get what was then an unavailable issue on the Naive Vivaldi series (it seems to be available again on AmazonUK).  The seller turned out to be located in Taiwan.  I had absolutely no problems, so you might want to reconsider confining yourself to North America at some point.

Brahms - 50 or so entries for "Variations on a Theme by Haydn"  every day!

Baby - a couple of years ago there was a rash of disks called "Baby Needs Haydn", and "Baby's First Haydn" 

Lili - Apparently there is a pop singer named Lili Haydn. I don't know more than that, except there were a dozen or so listings a day for her.

Generally the problems from overseas buying (I do a lot from actual stores over there) involve steep shipping and exchange rates. I buy from Britain fairly often but that's about it. Next time you are shopping in Germany, see if you can find me that Flötenuhr disk featured in my 1793 post. I'd pay handsomely for it.

It's important to keep up with recent developments.

I wondered about Lili and baby, as well. Brahms, I knew all about : )

Yes, exactly right! I also have more modifiers for Mozart. That lad was seriously exploited, then and now.

I love getting the Japanese pressings....in the used bins. of course.

Well, these are CD's though Bill. Do you ever get anything with the obi wrapped around? I've got some used Japanese disks, but never seen an obi. Anway, too rich for MY blood. I want the music, not the cachet.

After Googling, I found out that some people collect those things, and I guess, are willing to pay more to have them.

Go figure.

I have two from the Das Wiener Philharmonia Trio on the Camerata label....Vols. 3 and 4.  Great music making on these, by the way.



Do you know how many volumes they issued?

PS Snow day here....looking at 12 inches or so.

Just left a short post (quoted below) in the listening thread - as stated, most of this keyboard oeuvre of Papa Haydn is new to me - the Derek Adlam  single disc has him performing a handful of these works on a clavichord, which he made in 1982 (copy on an instrument from 1763 by Johann Adolph Hass, Hamburg, and strung in brass).

The Bart van Oort box consists of 5 discs of a wide variety of Haydn's non-sonata keyboard works composed over an approximate 30 year period and played on fortepiano (instrument  from 2000 by Chris Maene after Walter ca. 1795).  A listing of the works on these CDs can be found HERE.  A short review of the box set is on the All Music website HERE for those interested.  The box includes an excellent 23-page booklet (only in English) of notes by van Oort & Sylvia Berry, a specialist in Viennese music of the late 18th & early 19th centuries - a bargain on the Amazon MP!

I've been listening to the first 2 discs, i.e. Variations & Dances and agree w/ the reviewer above; varied and delightful works performed ably as expected by van Oort in well recorded sound; the fortepiano has a pleasant full tone - the Adlam disc just started, so will enjoy some of these pieces on the clavichord -

Haydn - Non-sonata keyboard works w/ Bart van Oort on fortepiano; 5-disc set - new acquisition and except for the 'Seven Last Words', most of this music is new to me - my only other CD of some of these works is Derek Adlam on the clavichord -

There were 6 altogether.

I received a mail earlier this morning from Abeille that I will be refunded the amount for this box, since their stock somehow vanished after I placed my order. So the only Haydn disc of the parcel will be the 'Haydn in London' (Winter & Winter), which made an appearance in this thread a few pages ago.
