A strange set that is wildly overrated by all its fans and almost deliberately underrated by all its detractors.

Perhaps a good gift idea / stocking stuffer - for newbies ..

A very random selection of recordings, I think. For instance Loussier´s Fifth Brandenburg and no Stockhausen at all.

Stocky is outside history, like Hegel.

Random is only a mystery to those who have no understanding of Heissenberg.

You must have big stockings.

You're gonna need a bigger mantel . . . .

Did you miss Gruppen?

What amused me:  Monteverdi: Vespers (Highlights)

[prémont]

Gruppen is in there. It's not a bad box for a curious newbie - covers a lot of historical ground.

Oh, yes. Sorry that I did not notice this before.

[Karl Henning]

Oh, yes. Sorry that I did not notice this before.

For my part, you can be easily forgiven for overlooking His Cosmic Excellency Stockhausen.

I do feel that the Tintner set is overrated. I mean he's just no match for Wand or Karajan. Sorry Georg.

God, or James?

  Good new, Octave. I love his's Bruckner 7. Tintner is the Celibidache-like conductor, and his ideas always deserves hearing .

I don't deliberately underrate it.  I think it's almost impossible to underrate it.   It takes a good deal of work to make Bruckner sound like a composer to whom it is not worth listening, and Tintner very nearly did that for me with his recordings of 1-3.

Besides that,  Wand is available inexpensively and so is Karajan, and probably a couple of more (what's Jochum going for these days?)

Not much, I reckon... either set. With the plethora of choices out there, at great prices, it really is difficult to see how Tintner fits in, competitively.

Just published by Harmonia Mundi International twitter account, Bach: Brandenburg Concertos
Freiburger Barockorchester, to be released next February.

So many recordings of those concerts already, hope they will offer something different.

Oh my God, James of course.

Is this a new recording? They recorded the Brandenburgs in the Bach year 2000, and until now this recording has only been available on DVD:

Good question, I was aware of the existence of the DVD but assumed it MUST be a new recording. The Facebook page offers some samples under a logic of advents calendar gratification and says that is a upcoming recorder. Let's hope it is a brand new set and not a transfer.
