Recordings That You Are Considering

[Ken B]

Abbado's Mozart box with Orchestra Mozart. I telly like the symphonies. Anyone know the rest of it? Non piano concerti.

I only know the violin concerti/sinfonia concertante with Abbado/Carmignola. As far as I remember they are very good.

The concerti arebetter than the symphonies especially the VCs.

Comments very much on target.

Thanks all. Now it is a very definite temptation. 

I have a fair bit in transit but it's in my cart, grinning at me.

I know this feeling all too well.

Considering this recent release combining keyboard works of Frescobaldi and Buxtehude - has anyone yet heard it?

Thanks premont!  Your post is all I needed to confirm that this is worthy of a purchase.

For now, I've added it to my own extra-long wish-list.

Has anyone come across this?

It's most (all?) of Faure's sacred choral music other than the Requiem. I think it also floats around with an alternative cover.

okay ... talking Mendelssohn symphonies, Tchaikovsky, too ... how 'bout this one, for someone who's so far not a Karajan nut in general, but has heard some good stuff by him (not the EMI Mozart operas though, in case that matters):

It was on my "Best of 2008" list, with a short review, FYI: http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2008/12/best-recordings-of-2008.html

I wouldn't buy this for the Mozart and I wouldn't buy this for the Haydn, either (and in fact, I'd much rather have the composer-boxes, for shelving purposes), but the Beethoven is excellent (it is the 1970s Beethoven, which is the most Karajanesque, but in the best sense... not the tragic, 1980s sense). Here my review on ArkivMusic: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=209571

The Mendelssohn is terrific (my second favorite after Dohnanyi), the Tchaik and Schumann very good, the Brahms OK, the Bruckner somewhere between "different" and "stupendous" and "sonically challenged".

All in all a great deal, I should think... and I'm not a Karajan fan-boy by any stretch of the imagination.

Or so it looks! Many thanks for all these links and reviews, Jens! Straight into my basked this goes, then!

Addendum to Jens...the Mozart is excellent on its own terms.  Think of it as an anti-HIP performance.  Not the one to hear on a regular basis, but a good supplement/antidote to the usual suspects. 
(Not heard the Haydn, and Jens if anything understates the merits of the Bruckner.)

[Karl Henning]

Addendum to Jens...the Mozart is excellent on its own terms.

I accept that, and consider that when I listened, I refused to yield to those terms.

I still might not . . . or I might.  Lenny's Mozart I find I have enjoyed, but . . . I had to yield on a point or two.

This half-surprised me, since as a rule, I have not batted an eye at his Haydn.
