Hehe - I could be a member of that gang already...

Since last post I bought some more stuff too  :





I hadn't been aware of the Sixteen Box-Set before - 10 Discs of Music from Tudor England...

Yes, I do believe that you are a veteran member already

Good pick, I hope you like it!
I really enjoyed this Requiem. Jacobs doesn't always seem to be the most popular choice when it comes to interpretations, but I'm a big fan, I find his recordings offer a fresh, and sometimes wild, view on the piece he's conducting.

Nice! Possibly the greatest set of the Scriabin symphonies. Intense and passionate performances.

Thank you! - I'm becoming a fan of Jacobs' work too (I'm hoping to pick-up his recordings of Magic Flute and the Da Ponte Operas at some stage also, if they are still available).

Thanks - looking forward to receiving the set and listening to some more Scriabin!

I had to buy the Da Ponte Trilogy from a 3rd party seller a little over a year ago, but it was new, and totally worth the price.

Ever since the Previn/Beethoven 7th event here on GMG I've been exploring more Previn recordings. Came across these two that I really enjoyed. And then this recording of Rosenkavalier that was recommended by the Mirror Image himself.

Pounds the table! I just hope you don't get a CD-R like I did. I sent mine back because of the false advertising and ended up buying the Japanese hybrid SACD.

Thanks for the heads up, John, didn't see any mentioning of CD-R but now I know to look for it.

No problem, Greg. I bought mine off of Amazon and suspect you did the same.

My experience so far with the Previn Big Boxes on Sony and Warner has been generally really positive, in part because of the LSO of that era had just about the best brass section on earth, and Previn liked big loud repertoire, so that combination was absolutely dynamite in stuff you'd expect like Walton and Holst (killer Egdon Heath) but also stuff you wouldn't expect like Debussy and Tchaikovsky's "Little Russian" Symphony.

To my eternal shame, I found that the CD's I thought I had, were in fact non existent.  The mail answering in the listening thread regarding Bortkiewicz was therefore nul and void.
So I ordered two discs already and soon will follow others.
Florestan already pointed out to me the 6 volumes of Vincent d'Indy that I also missed. I had one volume, and never saw the rest. Ughhh. But happily corrected.

Hat-Tip to aligreto and Traverso for the Tate Mozart set - I am especially pleased at being able to pick up a copy of this one.

Well chosen,that Mozart set, Gilbert and Sullivan is new for me but this box is underway to me.

I guess it'd have to be an upright piano in that corridor. At least the chamber ensemble would have enough space in the landscape.

Concert Hall was a small label active in the late fifties and sixties. They would record conductors who weren't tied to a recording contract. Schuricht was one such artist. He never held a MD position, wasn't contractually tied to any concert association, orchestra or recording company. The B7 here is the legendary The Hague performance (my first ever recording of the work) and the Bach BB are from 1966 with an excellent small ensemble from Zurich in HIP (or so say the comments I've read - I'll be the judge of that). Practically no overlap with the WMI Icon or Decca boxes. Mouth-watering stuff.

I said I wasn't going to buy either of sets, but curiosity got the better of me:



I think I now own more Dvořák than Brian. I already had a sizable collection of Dvořák before buying these two sets.
