Purchases Today

Just bought:

This arrived yesterday, and La Gloria e Imeneo arrived today.

Which means my Naive Vivaldi series collection is complete! Apart from a few cardboard slipcases! For an entire month until Volume 75 is released! 

I also decided where the hell they're all going to live, double-height stacked on one of the shelves of a bookshelf I purchased fairly recently. They got in before most of the books I need to consider, but some culling of books was already on the agenda.

Hey!  Well done you!  Great sleuthing on your end.  Hope that you enjoy the majority of them.

Just acquired the following.

My favorites are the Phipps and the Gordon.

I do not care for the Dafgård.  It is composed for bass clarinet and violin.  That pairing does not work for me.

The Phipps and the Gordon are just for bass clarinet and orchestra.

The Gordon reminds me of the Corigliano Clarinet Concerto.



Note: I found that this album is available on apple music.  If you have apple music, check it out.  I would be interested in other opinions.

One of my favorite composers is Samuel Barber.

I was reviewing my library and found a few gaps in my Barber collection. One of them is his Andromache's Farwell.

Sweet! The Grant Park Orchestra is the CSO off-season  yes?

I recovered this from the Grant Park Orchestra website:

"Today, the Grant Park Orchestra draws its musicians from different orchestras and musical institutions throughout the United States. Each summer, all of the orchestra members gather in Millennium Park for a ten-week long season consisting of intensive rehearsals and performances. During the year, the musicians can be found across the country performing with major orchestras, teaching at numerous universities and appearing frequently in concert stages across the country. Some organizations represented by Grant Park Orchestra musicians include the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Metropolitan Opera, the Buffalo, Colorado, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Milwaukee, New Mexico, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Richmond, San Antonio, Seattle, and Utah Symphonies. The Grant Park Orchestra was nominated for a Grammy award for its recording entitled Robert Kurka: Symphonic Works. "
