Inspired by Lisztianwagner's recent posts on Dallapiccola, ordered these two CDs before they go definitely OOP:


It will be good to have an alternative reading of the Variazioni per orchestra (to complement Noseda on Chandos). And the composer's valedictory orchestral piece, Three Questions with Two Answers is another firm favourite of mine.


Music by one of my favourite composers, played by one of my very favourite pianists (Bruno Canino). I don't understand how this has been absent from my collection until now.

And some unknown (to me, at least) works by Ghedini to complete the order:

A few from JPC.

I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and a eccentric bear He is a great British institution and emits great wisdom with every growl. Of course I have Paddington at home, he is a member of the family, sure he is from the moment he was born. We have adopted him.

The big van Beinum box.



Everything I've heard of his has been magnificent. Can't resist this.

(importcds.com has the best price I've found, $99, but they report it one backorder.)

I already have it. It's nice, mostly pre-HIP or very early HIP.
The companion French Baroque box may be a bit more interesting because the music included is recorded much less often.

I'm sorry I caused you all that trouble, but why was it necessary to resist the temtation?

I wasn't attributing the temptation to you. I saw that set, probably on the new release thread, and was tempted, although I have way too much Bach to justify getting it.

Oh, okay.  :D

I don't feel having "way too much Bach." That said, considering that I bought the 71 CD Rilling box of the cantatas last summer and now this 15 CD boxset, I should feel saturated for a while when it comes to Bach.  8)

One can never have too much JS Bach.  8)

It's now 11 years since I started that cantata box...
Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
