Oh, sorry. in that case we don't really agree.

Do you think the PI counts for much? (i'm inclined to say it doesn't, but I'm not sure)

As I mentioned above, I am a big fan of PI, but more so when wind instruments are involved.

We are the Cult of the Big Lizard. We adore Pearlman in all his manifestations.  0:)

Boston Baroque is fine, but in the Brandenburg Concerto No 5, I was very unimpressed with Pearlman's competence on the harpsichord, particularly in the cadenza.  I have never enjoyed the piece less then listening to B.B.

OTOH, if listening to Haydn be a cult, I am an unabashed devotee. (Do we get special colorful robes?)

I can't answer to their Brandenburgs. Thanks for the warning!

You reaction may vary.  I kept the set because the other concerti are fine and the Telarc audio engineering is superb.

BB's disc of Monteverdi's Vespers is superb!

So the .com-mians haven't bothered to list it yet. Change the TLD to the UK store.

I do too with all his Amazon links.  Must be a non-US website.

I'll get that!

FYI, when the 404 comes up, go to the address bar and change  .com   to .co.uk  and it works fine. I always have to do this with Navneeth's links....   :)

...the first, in that, the horns are played with discretion and superb ensemble.

I forgot about that.  Such a let-down.  :(

I rarely visit the US Amazon but I troll the UK one for new releases. In most cases, discs are released there (or is at least listed) long before it is in the US. However the images are stored at a central location (loosely speaking) for all stores to access. So while the GMG-Amazon.com link is created automatically when I use the tags, it does not guarantee the availability of the item in the US.

Is everyone now clear how the plumbing works? 0:)

P.S. Thank you, SanAn for warning me about the Boston's Brandenburgs. I'll certainly avoid them now   ;D

he was as f*cked-up as you are."

I figured it out and automatically correct for it quite a while ago. I was actually pleased in that it taught me a lesson how to deal with link issues. Can't complain about that. I want that disk anyway.  :)
