Recordings That You Are Considering

[Harry]

Thanks Harry, I found it...... in your refusal bin! 

I think that I'll take that as an advice not to buy....

Will be waiting your impressions on the Domenico Scarlatti cantatas!
(Does it include texts?)

Q

That's because I had two review copies Que one for me, another for well someone.....
So the advice is to buy, its really good.
Texts Scarlatti, tell you when I found it back, see it, its beneath.....well later then, if I remember through sampling, I think there are texts

MAHLER Symphonies 5 and 10 / Barshai

I get the impression that this is one of those no-brainer Mahler purchases. An exceptional 5th, and a new and interesting edition of the 10.

Have the Barshai 5th. Oh yeah.

i personally prefer Barshai's 10s over all others.

Me, too. Any thoughts?

MARTUCCI Complete Orchestral Works / Francesco D'Avalos, Philharmonia

Boring music.  YMMV.

[PerfectWagnerite]

Boring music.  YMMV.

I second that. First one to PM me gets my set for free.

I'm considering the Chicken Penne at Bertucci's . . . .

[PerfectWagnerite]

I'm considering the Chicken Penne at Bertucci's . . . .

Personally I like the chicken rigotori(sic) with white wine sauce. BTW, how long can you eat their bread before they tell you that you have to order something?

That I have not put to the test.  All depends on the server, I expect.

[BorisG]

Hot sausage and penne here.

Their pizza is one of my very favorites. (Those carmelized onions....) MMmmmmm.

MAHLER Symphonies 5 and 10 / Barshai

This is currently my favorite 5th.  What don't you like about it, Boris?

[longears]

Good heavens, man!  Run, don't walk, if you don't have Barshai's Mahler 5 & 10 yet!  This is one case in which there's no hype in the praise.

[springrite]

I second that. First one to PM me gets my set for free.

I have been wondering what Martucci's music is like, since Toscanini, with his undying loyalty to his beloved teacher, promoted Martucci's music like mad (and apparently driving a lot of people mad in the process)!

[BorisG]

Good heavens, man!  Run, don't walk, if you don't have Barshai's Mahler 5 & 10 yet!  This is one case in which there's no hype in the praise.

Sorry to disappoint. Hype is all this has going for it. Better regrip and regroup, gentlemen. This Mahler 5 is wonderful only if you like slothful interpretation and by the numbers playing. There are sound issues, too, but who really cares after that.

Slothful?  By-the-numbers?  Sound issues?  Good heavens, man...you must be thinking of some other recording! This is the one conducted by Barshai, that's B A R S H A I, with the German Youth Philharmonic, and the playing is impassioned and inspired! 

(If it really is this one you hate, then I should pay more attention to your preferences, for you might be a perfect reverse-reference.)
