Do you have this double album ?  The second disk has the Moravian songs.

The rumor is that angels do not have sex.  But I dare say they have a voice: Magdalena Kozena.  The pieces themselves are as the album says: an enchantment.
The cantatas disk has also been a favorite ever since I bought it.

I do not own that Kožená set, but I'll certainly keep it mind. Thanks.

Actually, this particular recording is what I have my eyes on:



Edit: I just bought that Love Songs recording from Kožená/Johnson. 8)

Bach  Mass in B minor

Look what the cat dragged in:



Minkowski, St. John Passion


Does anyone else feel like this one really flew under the radar??? Minkowski in his second 'large' Bach work should be a big deal.
First it's not on Naive (but it's not like he's signed with Warner; it's just a one-off) and then it's almost secretively released?!?



Buchbinder, Haydn Sonatas


That set, at last. Only one-disc in. He speaks of having learned all he needed to learn about phrasing when recording the complete Haydn.



Prokofiev: The 9 Piano Sonatas, Visions fugitives
Vladimir Ovchinnikov


There aren't THAT many Prokofiev-Sonata cycles, it seems, or else they are not well known. Didn't know this one, either, but worth exploring, surely?!?



Debussy, Images, La Mer, E.Krivine


His second recording; last time on Denon with Lyon. One listen so far and it sounded very impressive. Perhaps Warner realized that they can't rely on Martinon forever in this repertoire.

I have not heard that version but I have Bruggen's version on Glossa, also with the Orchestra of the 18th century, which is really excellent. I would like to read your thoughts on the above Philips version when you eventually get to hear it.

This is an older recording,the one you have is recorded in Poland and certainly on my list.I saw it come by and could't resist.

I do not blame you for that. Happy listening whenever you do get to listen to it.

I ordered the Warner Complete Debussy set today. So I will have a trio of Debussy boxes: this Warner, the Sony, and the DG 2012 set.

Perhaps Krivine has recorded La Mer three times? There's one on Timpani as well:

Gosh, he sure loves his La Mer:) Had completely forgotten about that one.

To be quite honest,this is a giant step for me but I surely want to give it a try. ::)
