And I don't think I have that one, either, so being a bit of a completist, it sounds like I should splurge on that one, too.

Bruce - I guess it's time to make your contribution to the "stimulus" of the economy!  Too bad Harry doesn't also live in the U.S.  ;) ;D

There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

Isn't that the truth.  Our entire national debt would be wiped out.  ;D

I ordered this Matthaus Passion set two months ago and I just now got it.  The packaging is amazing, and I'm navigating around the CD-rom right now...looks like a great bonus.  You can listen to all 68 parts while getting information about each one.  Plus there are interviews, stuff about Bach's life, etc.  I know what I'll be doing for the next few hours  :o

Wow!  A full report will be in order later this week.  :)

Well, I think Beethoven's symphonies would sound great played in a Jug Band, with Harmonica, Washboard, etc.  ;D

What a great concept!  John Sebastian could be the conductor  :)

Thread duty:  working my way through my "new old" Mahler CDs, I come to Szell's 4th.  I'm a big fan of the Szell I've heard, and halfway through the first movement I'm not being let down here either.  Looking forward to my first listen to "Songs of a Wayfarer" as well.  1965/78:

Now why don't I have this?  [smacking forehead]  I love the Ninth, love Dohnányi and Cleveland...and have many of their recordings, almost all of which are magnificent.  I know I've seen this CD at Academy here, so I'll just pick up a copy.

--Bruce

Even I have this CD, for someone who generally does not buy many recordings by American ensembles ...

Oh, that Schubbie 8th by Dohnányi and Cleveland is a gem!

I'm getting the impression this was a gun outfit that could turn its hand to just about anything.  Is there anything by these guys I SHOULD leave in the used bins?

One of my great pleasures is to discover one treasure in my own record collection. These recordings are my last "discovery".

I'm maybe unfair,  forgetting  my discs, only thinking to listen to new recordings.

You didn't get the same one. Yours is Herreweghe's first recording. This is his remake.
Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Mine has the same CD sleeve and the same group of vocalists.

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
