Has anyone heard this? What's it like?

Haven't heard it, and am not in a rush to get it, but that's because I have other stuff in my pile to try first, not because I'm not interested in it.

If you don't have a recording of the Sitkovetsky arrangement, get one.  It both clarifies the original keyboard version and is musically good on its own. I have a performance that features Matt Haimovitz; I remember Jens suggesting a recording that featured some French musicians whose names I can't recall; now there's this recording, and I think there's at least one other out there

I don't get to take this set out of my head:

[Expresso]

Oh, it's fairly inexpensive in Germany, still. Even with shipping up North, I'd think it's a deal:

Ring, Chereau, 8 DVDs

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

wow... the Boulez DVD went from 50... up to 90 euros!

A few I'm definitely going to get at some point:

[Renfield]

That's a new dimension of 'considering' - Recordings You're Bound to Get.

Didn't have said arrangement, so I picked up this one. I think it's gorgeous.

Thanks for the mention, didn't know this existed, one of my favorite pieces.
Just purchased it!

It was just released in the last two weeks or so here in the US.
Meanwhile, may I ask for opinions on these?




The last one leaves is performed by Annerose Schmidt with Kurt Masur leading the Dresden Philharmonic, and leaves out Concertos 1-4, 7 and 10.

[Coopmv]

I bought the set for about $60 a few months ago and it is still in cellophane.

Bach  Art of Fugue, Hildebrandt organ, St.Wenzel, Naumburg
         Concerto transcriptions, G Silbermann organ, Hofkirche, Dresden
         Johannes-Ernst Köhler

AoF: Great sounding organ. Recorded in the 1960es before the latest historical restoration of the organ (concluded 2000).
Interpretation (as far as I recall - didn´t listen to it for years) is in the great and a bit oldfashioned style with full registrations and legato playing.
Makes all in all a solid but also impressive impact. BTW this reminds me of the fact, that the concerto transcriptions are the only part of this former East German Bach organ integral, which I haven´t listened to yet.

Thanks! That one goes into the shopping cart, at least.

I caught a glimpse of this album cover.

I don't even know what music's on the disc and I'm considering it.

The music or the performances? The former attracts me over and again, but never quite convinces me... the performances on the other hand are the technically most polished I've heard and very recommendable , though perhaps not the ones with the most verve.

Myaskovsky, Scriabin, Schnittke, Prokofiev, and Rachmaninov.

I strongly recommend this one.

For the music, too. Excellent playing all around.

(Sonatas of Miaskovsky and Rachmaninov, plus shorter works by the other three MI mentions.)

[The new erato]

I strongly recommend this one.

You meant these ones?

[Antoine Marchand]

I strongly recommend this one.

Not to mention their beautiful shoulders, arms and hands.

What performances do you rec, Jens? I am still very fond of my old Borodin Quartet disks on Philips, but wouldn't mind moving up to newer sound, if verve comes with it.
