[Willoughby earl of Itacarius]

Lucky you, Harry....

I have a complete set done by Neeme Jarvi on Orfeo, but the reviews are so good that I figured I take the plunge, and buy this cheap set too!

Lucky you....

I own the series too, Daniel. I haven't even listened to any of them yet. I'm interested in other composers at the moment.

Yes, the set certainly looks, and sounds (from the short excerpts I have heard) very good. I'd be interested to know what you think, Harry!

I know you are, John! When you do find the time to listen to it, I would be interested to know if your opinion of Glazunov changes.

Just bought four Nystroem recordings (on BIS) and a Kallstenius recording:

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

That Kallstenius CD is excellent! (love the Dalarapsodi and Symphony No. 2)

Yes, actually Johan I have you to thank for inadvertently exposing me to Kallstenius' music. I looked on your FB page and saw the composers you liked and he was one of them and I had never heard of him so I checked him out.

An MDT clearance order landed today:

[asin]B00006FSQC[/asin]

Already had a listen to Visions de l'Amen; I'm not usually big on Messiaen but this work does impress me. As far as I can tell, the Peter Hill/Benjamin Frith duo are as excellent as usual here.

Also quartets by Rasmussen and Sorensen in the expert hands of the Ardittis:



And a couple of single discs to see why the name of Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen keeps showing up when underrated living composers are being discussed:

Just bought:

[asin]B0000029XL[/asin]

Bought this for the two Schuman works. Certainly didn't buy it for the Barber (I've never liked Isaac Stern at all).

[kishnevi]

Landed today from Barnes and Noble

Although it's not even ninety minutes divided between 2 CDs (89'58 to be precise),  Chandos made this into a small box set (boxette?) to accomodate the liner notes/vocal text booklet.  The recording is of a live performance on Armistice Day(somehow that seems more appropriate in this context) 2007 at RAH
And two of the three items ordered last week from AmazonIT  arrived today (and not even a week in transit!).  I suppose it should not surprise me that the third item which was shipped a day earlier has not yet arrived.


And finally, discussion in Hadyn Haus prompted yet one more step towards bankruptcy (but in this case a relatively small one)--ordered this tonight from Amazon MP

And finally, discussion in Hadyn Haus prompted yet one more step towards bankruptcy....

I know the danger    Meta4 and Schuppanzigh's Haydn arrived today. Also in my mailbox, the first volume of Simax's collection of orchestral music by Harald Sæverud, including Symphonies 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 conducted by Kitajenko.

Leclair is relatively underrepresented in recordings, Bowen is a blank for me but I'm a great fan of Lawrence Power's powerful (no pun intended) viola playing; I have quite a lot of his discs (his 3 Hindemith discs on Hyperion is essential IMO).
