GMG Wishlist: OOP or rare recordings you want reissued

[Steve]

E. Power Biggs, The Festival Sonatas... can't find them anywhere... 

[The new erato]

Weills's "Street Scene" on Decca.

[George]

I would like Serkin's recording of Beethoven's second piano concerto reissued, or at least a PM from the owner of an older issue of this performance. 

[hautbois]

I will pray tonight so that someone reissues this!

I also heard a magnificent Beethoven Symphony cycle with the Boston Sym conducted by Ferdinand Leitner which deserves to be released, from the 1980's, I believe.

Either you have the wrong orchestra or the wrong conductor, but Ferdinand Leitner NEVER conducted the Boston Symphony, ANYWHERE at ANYTIME. Check your facts. I await your response.

They may be reissued in a Warner Classics Mozart 250th Anniversary Edition 15 CD box set. If interested, check Amazon UK's marketplace for possible best price, and maybe somewhere else for the track listings.

I have that, phenomenal.

Either you have the wrong orchestra or the wrong conductor, but Ferdinand Leitner NEVER conducted the Boston Symphony, ANYWHERE at ANYTIME. Check your facts. I await your response.

Georg Henschel, Wilhelm Gericke, Arthur Nikisch, Emil Paur, Karl Muck, Max Fiedler, Henri Rabaud, Pierre Monteux, Serge Koussevitsky, Richard Burgin, Bruno Walter, Charles Munch, Lorin Maazel, Erich Leinsdorf, Joseph Krips, William Steinberg, Leonard Bernstein, Ferdinand Leitner, Klaus Tennstedt, Seiji Ozawa, Michael Tilson Thomas, Bernard Haitink, Kurt Sanderling, Simon Rattle, Hugh Wolff, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos.

This is the list (included in this concert's program booklet) of conductors before Sir Colin Davis who have led the BSO in the Pastoral Symphony, Beethoven's Opus 68

That is from an article by a guy called "Karl Henning". Maybe it is even the same "Karl Henning" who posts in this very forum? In that case, he could maybe verify this.

In the meantime, we await your response.

I may or may not still have hard copy of that program in my possession, but I copied that list of conductors verbatim from the program notes furnished by the Boston Symphony.

Please, Melodiya, if you're reading this, reissue that Sveshnikov/USSR State Choir Rachmaninov All-night Vigil. The transfer I have is almost certainly a fake, so I'd love to hear the original. Thank you.
Anyone else got a request?

I emailed them about that one. I hope someone got the msg.

Off the top of my head:
-- Palestrina's Pope Marcellus Mass (etc) by the Regensburger Domspatzen (aka Regensburg Cathedral boys choir). The current pope happens to be the brother of the conductor, not that it makes much difference for the music.
-- a bunch of the cds on this list are only available on vinyl: http://www.bluntinstrument.org.uk/biber/discography/index.htm
-- Harnoncourt's recording (& probably a few others) of Bach's cello suites

I would love to hear the Tchaikovsky Piano Trio by Kogan, Gilels and Rostropovich (live, Arlecchino). But I guess that one is pretty, pretty OOP...Any other performances close to it in quality?

It seems like this recording has been reissued as part of this EMIL GILELS Piano Trios & Quartet recordings 5CD set on Doremi. This I will probably go for even if it is expensive. I wonder how the transfers are, though.

[The new erato]

The Caprice label's 3 CD set of the 6 Stenhammar String Quartets.  I have them, but everyone deserves to have them available.

Seconded (I have them as well). The cycle may turn up on Naxos in 2008 (I seem to remember having heard that they are to be recorded by the Oslo (or Norwegian) string quartet.

I beg DGG to reissued Haydn's 6 SQ op.50 by
the old Tokyo SQ. Never heard a better Haydn
in my life.

[Drasko]

Looking for this CD, but it seems to be thoroughly out of print, any info would be appreciated.

thanks!

i saw this cd once. I remember it because at the time I was deep into Akhmatova and as they had had a brief affair I was rather amused to see it. Didn't buy it though. I'll watch out for it.

This one I would like to find. But I guess it will be very difficult. It seems like almost nothing exists on CD with Igor Zhukov. Maybe I will have to put up my record player again, and start looking for LP's...

I wish EMI would resissue the Elisabeth Schwarzkopf Songbook series of LPs, in their original order. I know much of the material has been reissued, but, in their original format, each was a mini recital in itself. They did bring out a box set, some time ago, and called it The Elisabeth Schwarzkopf Songbook, but this turned out to be just a collection of songs from various different recitals, not the LPs I was thinking of. I'd like to see the original LPs on CD, with a booklet containing the original notes, texts and translations. Given EMI's current situation, though, I'll assume it'll be a cry in the wilderness.

Thank you a lot for this information!

The EMI recording of Riders to the Sea. I want it, I want it, I want it! But i've learnt my lesson paying big bucks for cds (i'm looking at you, Decca).
