Upcoming releases from Brilliant....

[prémont]

Huh, no one interested in Handel's harpsichord music, it isn't Borgstede what, damn fine player he is, and from what I heard, its as good as his Couperin, yes Sir!

Well, I am, but I am also a bit disappointed, because they did not let Pieter-Jan Belder record the Händel Suites.

Well, I am, but I am also a bit disappointed, because they did not let Pieter-Jan Belder record the Händel Suites. 

Borgstede is also a very good musician, remember the Couperin box, and what I have heard of Handel is extremely well done.
Pieter Jan Belder is assigned a much bigger task, the works from Padre Soler.
I will see a live performance of Belder somewhere this month.

[Gurn Blanston]

What I understood is this, that they will release a box with the series already finished, all ongoing projects are not included, but this info is wobbly to say the least. I keep you informed!

No, that's very good, but I mean "THE BIG BOX", which is to say, the Complete Works of Haydn. Of course, they will have to go far to surpass my Haydn collection now, but I would take the plunge even if only for the 20% or so that I don't have. I want it, and I want it now!

Too much Haydn ain't enough! said Gurn . . . .

[Sergeant Rock]

I understand that Sarge, but i bought mine in December last year, so I am pissed.

Understandable. I would be too in this case.

And me thinks, I buy enough full price, to deserve a lucky find, now and again, right?

You and me both.

Someone told me to seek out the Hyperion recordings too, do you think that are worth to add to the ones I already have?

If you love Magnard, the differences in interpretation warrant duplication. At least the Ossonce disc with 3 and 4 should be heard. I can understand why some would prefer Ossonce to Sanderling. In general, he is swifter, more elegant....more French. Of course that begs the question: are these French symphonies or really German symphonies written by a Frenchman? Sanderling gives us the latter and I think he's right.

Sarge

[SonicMan46]

Nah, of course not, but are you okay with the Buchbergers so far Dave?

Harry - just have the Buchberger SQ in the earlier works (Op. 1 & 2 as mentioned; and Op. 9, shown below); but recently I purchased the Op. 9 works w/ a new group, the London Haydn Quartet on a great Hyperion bargain - based on a fabulous review in Fanfare; also, a bunch of short but exellent comments on the Hyperion Website - after several comparison listenings, I like both groups as well! But, hey, it may be Haydn's fault! - I can easily recommend either recordings (or both!) - Dave

I also own Borgstede´s Couperin box, and agree that he is a good musician, and he can easily satisfy my need for F.Couperin´s harpsichord music, as I do not want to spend a small fortune on Spieth.

On the other hand Belder has emerged as an inspired and all-round musician (recording Bach, Scarlatti, Purcell, Corelli) , and I am sure, that his abilities might have been used better. E.g we still need a convincing integral recording of Frescobaldis keyboard music. Vartolo is serviceable (on Tactus and Naxos) , but often too letargic and meditative.

Exciting news! Thanks Harry 

I have the Bryden Thomson Martinu set, so may not get the new one and I have the EMI Plasson Magnard set, but it's difficult to resist these temptations. I strongly recommend the Brilliant, Alexander Gauk box (newish release) which is full of interesting stuff. Shostakovich Symphony 11 and 5, Miaskovsky Symphony 17 (great performance, Gauk was the dedicatee), Khachaturian Symphony 1 etc etc.

One that speaks for itself, and this interesting box with 4 cd's for just 13,- euro's, and that is a steal, for the quality performances you get. Sung by Elly Ameling, and Gerard Souzay, and accompanied by Dalton Baldwin.
