I only ever heard an excerpt on a cd from the Box set I listened to earlier, but I'd like to hear more.

Karl, did you miss this, or just found it awful  ?

I certainly like the idea of Satie on guitar . . . .

Here's Luke's original post from Satie thread with the link   

have you checked out the Ubuweb Satie page? The piano pieces arranged for guitar there are so, so much better than one would think - not pretty hotel lounge muzak but steely, intense and very human playing.

I bought this box two years ago, and it has remained in my "to listen" heap.  I'm so grateful to those who pointed to "On an overgrown path" - wonderful music.  I look forward to exploring further soon.

Anton Bruckner--Symphony No.5 in B-Flat Major {Haas Version} and Symphony No.9 in D Minor {unfinished}, both performed by an occasionally off-key {?} Wurttemberg Philharmonic ORchestra under the baton of Roberto Paternostro. I've been trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger on the HVK/Berliner Philharmoniker Bruckner Cycle box-set, which has just come down dramatically in price on Amazon.
Any Brucknerians out there with suggestions?

Though I don't have the HvK/Berlin box, I do have most of the recordings in their original incarnations, and they were my introduction to many of the symphonies. I still like the recordings very much, even if in subsequent years I've discovered other versions that I like just as much, in different ways. But if you like the "Karajan sound," you'll probably enjoy the box - if nothing else, the playing is certainly spectacular.

Now:



Listening to Loftr-Suite. I don't think I've listened to this work before. Love the Rite-like energy of the first movement.
