Your favorite EMI, Hanssler, Nimbus, BIS...

Some really great recent releases: on Hyperion, Hagai Shaham playing the Brahms Hungarian Dances, as arranged by Joseph Joachim for violin and piano; on Naxos, John Antill's zany Australian quasi-Aboriginal ballet "Corroboree", the complete incidental music to Grieg's "Peer Gynt" (the orchestral prelude, at least, makes a great addition to any sets of the Suites you might already have), and symphonic poems by Karlowicz if you're a big fan of the whole Straussian late-romantic excess type of thing. I think BIS just finished their cycle of Haydn keyboard music. You have the Naxos album of Haydn's violin concerti already, I presume? What about the CD of violin music by Ivan Frolov - fun jazzy arrangements of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," some Brazilian love songs, and even a fantasia on themes from Porgy and Bess...fun stuff.

Is Dacapo included? Langgaard is the shiznit.

Thanks, bro. I will check this stuff out, and on the Dacapo.
