Stanford: Piano Concerto Cello Concerto [Braithwaite]

[André]

I've had some trouble completing the series, but it's now done. Rosenberg's quartets are very rewarding.

Earlier

Ordered the Slatkin because it has a whole mess of Copland, a CD or so full of Leroy Andersen, and--most important of all--the March of the Tin Soldiers from Babes in Toyland.

Picked up this Box-Set at last - I really like Malcolm Arnold's Symphonies (especially #5 & 9).
All the rest of the stuff in the Box will be new to me...

[Harry]

Ordered today two Accent CD'S, one recommended by Que, and 1 from the label Coviello.

Girolamo Frescobaldi-Stylus Fantasticus & the art of variation.
Baldassare Galuppi, Sonatas for Keyboard instruments.
Giovanni Bassano,  Amor Sacro, Amor Profano.

Downloads from an HDTracks sale:

[asin]B074V22PKK[/asin]

Even without the sale, their high-rez download of this is much cheaper than the MP3s from Amazon.  The Skrow 10th is fantastic, and the audience is very quiet until the end.  No grunting from the conductor, either.  Haven't listened to 11 yet.



This is a "Plangent Process" remastering.  These recordings already sounded very good to me in their "Originals" guise, but they sound fabulous here, a great demonstration of the Mercury 3-mic recording technique.

I thought the original Dorati/New Philahrmonia set was a Phillips recording not Mercury....?

I thought the original Dorati/New Philahrmonia set was a Phillips recording not Mercury....?

From a post in Audio Asylum:

In the September issue of TAS, there's a feature article about the [Mercury] mega-set by Arthur Lintgen [...] Both Lintgen and the program booklet reveal that, in contrast to the usual Mercury team (recording director Wilma Cozart, chief engineer C. Robert Fine, assistant engineer Robert Eberenz, and musical supervisor Harold Lawrence), the team that recorded the Tchaikovsky Suites (producer Harold Lawrence, recording engineer Hans Lauterslager, and assistant engineer Henri de Fremery) was mainly a Philips group, with only Harold Lawrence maintaining the continuity. The interesting thing about this is that, although the engineers were from Philips, they still used only three microphones, just as the Mercury team had done. It turns out that these microphones were slightly different from the ones that the Cozart/Fine team had used: Schoeps MK23's, rather than Schoeps/Telefunken M201's.
