Purchases Today

[JBS]

Time for another "will Arkivmusic actually ship this?"


All three are Weekend Specials or sale items.

Landed today.
Arkivmusic's service seems to better if you the next to cheapest, and not the cheapest. At least they sent out the email notice of shipment the two times I've done it, and it certainly arrives a couple of days quicker.

From the Chandos download sale :

Taneyev's complete String Quartets. Hat-tip to @Roasted Swan

[André]

I love Ginastera. I don't have Bernstein's Serenade or Moussa's work. Nice program, almost 80 minutes of music and one of Nagano's last discs with the MSO.

[vandermolen]

Two new Chandos releases:

André's fault 

[Pohjolas Daughter]

André's fault 

I'll be curious as to how you find it to be.  As I mentioned earlier, the title of the work is intriguing (as well as the artwork  ).

PD

p.s.  Will this be another case of tossing it through the bedroom window, or have you given your man-cave a separate postal address (and box)?

CDs are much easier to smuggle into the house than LPs PD. Alternatively I have to get to the (exterior) post-box first!

Two orders from Amazon US/Amazon MP


Let's just say recent discussion of these recordings had something to do with ordering them.

Happens often.

There's no membership fee for subscribing to GMG but for some reason members' bank balance goes down... 😜

(The Rubbra being the complete symphonies conducted by Hickox.)

It's the main reason I stream. (Though paying for three services and sometimes trying out others is a bit overkill!)

Another order from Presto

[Le Buisson Ardent]

Very nice, André. I love Ginastera's Violin Concerto, although I don't know this performance but the Hilary Hahn released awhile back, which I find outstanding. The Bernstein Serenade is a good piece --- I'm unfamiliar with the Moussa piece. Anyway, I hope you get around to purchasing this CD at some point (if you haven't already):

Everyone should always buy Hilary Hahn CDs.

[Symphonic Addict]

Some phenomenal purchases, @JBS , above all for those symphony cycles. I don't know those Raff recordings, but I don't doubt they are up to the standards.

[Le Buisson Ardent]

Everyone should always buy Hilary Hahn CDs.

Well, I do as long as it's repertoire that I'm interested in of course.

[Le Buisson Ardent]

I think it should noted that @JBS has long held the title of 'most obsessive buyer' on GMG. Even @Harry and myself are left in the dust with this member's purchases.

To be fair, I haven't bought any classical recordings since earlier this year, but I'm seeing some new releases that catching my eye.

Not at all. My purchases have gone down quite a bit, especially in the last year. This week's purchases are the first batch that's not mostly new releases in quite a while. And I'm giving myself time to give these CDs at least a couple of listens before I put them away--and relisten to sets I haven't played in a while.
And I'm nowhere near Harry's level of needing offsite storage. Of course, he mostly streams now. I'm not, at least not yet.

I do my listening via stream 99% of the time. But I tried the other week an experiment: I deleted everything from my library except for four albums, of different genres. Two I had heard once, and two were new to me. I decided to pretend I had purchased them and had no other music.

I made it well under a week.

The good news is all 4 albums got at least two full listens, and a couple got more. That's better than I usually do, streaming or purchased. (I have plenty of purchases I have never played.)

Perhaps, but how many jazz and rock CDs have you bought this year? 

And a "Happy trails to you"  ....
