Hmmm. Didn't he have like the biggest funeral in Hollywood history? Or am I misremembering?

The guy makes decent wallets, too.

I'm exploring composers born in the 20th century and post war works.
I listened to this Naxos disc on Spotify and liked quite a bit of what I heard:

That one is a shot in the dark for me. I do not know the music of Valentini but I am quite prepared to give it a go with Ensemble 415 / Banchini performing.

I heard Valentini on the radio this afternoon, the new recording by Acronym. Reminded me of Biber.

TD: Tchaikovsky 5 (Gatti). And disc of Ravel by Dutoit instead of what I ordered.

I once received a cassette of Roy Orbison's Greatest Hits instead of what I ordered, in a box (for some strange reason) nearly the size of a shoe box. I've always wondered what the other fella thought when, instead of his Orbison, he got my Stravinsky.

I am still looking for the short piece Vocalism (also called A-Yi, I think). It should fall into film music category since it was composed for a short animated feature, I think. Is it included in the film set?

I don't think it is (I could be wrong), but it was released on this LP:

I haven't bought into the cassette revival, but as random music recordings go, you could do a lot worse than Roy Orbison.

Ubu, a very nice haul!

Thanks! It's actually more like a dozen hauls pulled together ... yesterday I gave in again and went for this (thanks for the hint about how cheap it is on aES! price is still nice but twice as much as it just was):

Bought at 4€ yeterday at amazon.es:

[asin]B000002S4V[/asin]

Could qualify as super-duper cheap bargain. There's still one copy left at the time of writing...

[king ubu]

Saw that as well, already have it though - great performances!

Great to hear that, king ubu!

And congratulations for the wonderful haul(s) you posted yesterday. I own many of those, e.g. the Hindemith, most of the Ediciones Singulares--what a great job these fellow Spaniards do in collaboration with the Palazzetto Bru Zane reviving neglected French music !!!!  )--and enjoy them very much. Actually, I recall thinking of the Kreutzer La Mort d'Abel that it's a rather fascinating piece...

But I'm surprised international CD prices haven't skyrocketed: it seems someone in Zurich is trying to corner the market!

I've not listened to any of those Ediciones Singulares releases yet, but indeed they look great, the exhaustive comments/essays on the music will make for some fascinating reading too, I'm sure!

Btw, there are some similar releases on Ricercar as well (the one I posted above, and at least one more - different package but also high-format books with lots of writing ... different label, but I think same gyus behind it.

And of course glad to hear about the Kreutzer being interesting, as I just took a chance there (I do read up stuff on the internets before I order, but that's not a safe way to make sure it'll really be worthwhile of course).

Someone needs to take control of my money before I spend it all.   0:)

Seems like amazon fixed that for you?

The J C Bach Amadigi is great as I remember it.

I am one sick individual...I placed another order with Amazon Japan:







I'm hoping this will be my last purchase of the year or at least until after Christmas. If I keep telling myself this, I should be fine.

[SonicMan46]

All very good choices! Have them, love them!
Enjoy!
