What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Willoughby earl of Itacarius]

Dietrich Buxtehude.

Complete Harpsichord Music on 4 CD'S.

CD I. (64:25)

Suites, Aria's, Courante, Canzona.

I wrote enough about this set, nothing to add, then the fact that its excellent on all counts.

[Henk]

Manoury - La Ville

Next time, bully the managers at the different labels! Thanks for the info on the box, Harry.

In fact, including the original album art is an upgrade from the first installment of that Sony budget series.  Information is very minimal for all of them,  pretty much nothing beyond the track listings.  The Leonhardt Organ set is one of several from the Vivarte series now sitting on top of my listening pile.

Thread duty:
Atterberg:  Symphonies 3 and 6
Radio Philharmonie Hanover des NDR ,  A.  Rasilainen cond.
CD 3 from the CPO box set of the symphonies,  a purchase I definitely have no regrets in making.  Which shouldn't be surprising since I bought it only after getting the CPO Atterberg recordings that are not in this set.

Yes its a great set I think - the performances and sound are very good throughout and the Music itself is awesome!.
The BC set seems to be out of print already though and is now selling at about 2 or 3 times the price I paid for it!

Thanks for the info.  I just checked on Amazon and the asking price for this set is quite exorbitant since it is OOP.
