Listenin' to Classical Music and Conversation

There'a a lot "missing" from that box, but those "Original Masters" weren't meant to be comprehensive. Also absent, among others is Bizet's Symphony in C. Perhaps the best place for Ansermet/Bizet on CD (incl. Symphony in C) is the Eloquence 2-CD set. In case you don't have it, this one...

BTW, were these Eloquence CD's produced in down under?

 

Yes, they were and apparently still are. Good thing for me too as they're relatively cheap down here, usually for sale at far less than the 'recommended' retail price.

 

Also, it's all on this, no?

 

Does Australia have its own Amazon website now? I read a few months ago that Amazon was about to step up its operation in Australia.

 

Yes, for sure All the Bizet recordings missing from Coop's set are there. I didn't mention this set to Coop as the Eloquence disc is a cheaper/better alternative if he only needed the Carmen Suite.
This box and the others in this series would certainly be very comprehensive but a bit too much L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande for me

 

It does and still the most expensive option for me to purchase music. Haven't used it.

 

CD.

 

Gonna have to crank up some bombast this afternoon.

 

I think it's a good day for the Serenades.

 

CD 3



Die Glückliche Hand

 

So you buy a few Eloquence CD's on Amazon UK. Those CD's just make the RT between the UK and Australia. To be sure, I have done the same when I buy US produced CD's from European etailers ...

 

Streaming on Spotify, "Hildegard Von Bingen - Sponsa Regis" performed by La Reverdie on Arcana.

Haven't been able to find this on CD yet.

 

Have you checked on Amazon?

Price is not that reasonable.
