Thought I would start a thread for interesting pre-releases you have found or are looking forward to.
Found these two this evening...

cant find any details on the Decca box, but the last Decca collection was excellent.
Have taken a punt and ordered both as they are at good prices, got enough time to cancel if needs be...

cant find any details on the Decca box, but the last Decca collection was excellent.
I can make out a few of the items:
Argenta conducting España, etc.
Sibelius Symphony 2 – Monteux
Britten: Cello Symphony, Haydn: Cello Conc. – Rostropovich/Britten
Britten: War Requiem
Brahms: Piano concerto 1 Curzon/Szell
Debussy: Préludes book 1 – Rogé
Falla: El sombrero... - Ansermet
Bartoli - Italian songs
Rachmaninoff: Concerto 3, Sonata 2 – Ashkenazy *
R. Strauss Alpine Symphony - Blomstedt *
(* guesses)
This prerelease may be notable for its very limited appeal?:

There's niche markets and there are niche markets ;D
I'm excited about these.

Hah! Until I looked at the Amazon listing and saw the text "COVER IMAGE COMING SOON", I was thinking, "Wow, that's a dramatic cover art choice for Naxos... and a good one."
Will be interested to see if the final cover is better, or worse.

Enticing. I may go for it. Very interested in some of the opera recordings and I don't think I already own anything from this set.

That will test my "no more big boxes" rule. Actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule.
I have 3 of the 60 (Hovhaness, Khachaturian, and the Richter-Leinsdorf Brahms). How much do I want the other 57?

Thanks for the heads-up. The Weinberg concerto always gets my attention.

In fact, since I have two recordings of the Britten and one of the Weinberg (I think), it's the Weinberg for which I will get this one
Roth has recorded all of Weinberg's Sonatas...here's s video in which he discusses and plays some bits:

He seems like a fine violinist.

Well, my library is relatively small compared to most of you guys, and these big boxes are an affordable way to catch up on the core repertoire.
Actually, I went through and pre-ordered it already. 8)

I think my library is large by sane-person standards but small by GMG standards.

Ah yes, that's the one Jens is writing liner notes for. I hope it's a good recording. It's hard to find performances of Weinberg's VC.
