    Hi, last night I did some digging on Amazon and scared up a used copy of the Stravinsky stereo recording, now duly ordered. Thanks for the tip!

    I also ordered a recording of Biber (Heinrich Ignaz Franz von, not Justin!) oddities played by a group called Acronym. I'd heard part of a battle piece on the radio and wanted to hear the rest plus the other odds and ends on the disc.

    Haven't listened to this set in awhile. Was maybe going to cull it, but after listening today, it is going back on the shelf!

    I need to revisit this pianist's work. I have the big EMI set, Which I assume contains all of the performances you listed above.

    I like his Chopin a lot, but that box has so many goodies that I'd love to check out. Beethoven, Mozart, Bartok, Scriabin...

    Judging by your avatar, I assume you have the big EMI box?

    I don’t, he’s my avatar because we have similar names :laugh: I like his playing but I’m not a huge aficionado. If the box weren’t OOP and expensive I would probably spring for it though.

    Wow funny you mention this, I just culled this recording and removed it from my own shelves. I acquired an excellent sounding Japanese CD of the Mahler 9 by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Barbirolli, recorded in 1964, and vastly prefer it to the Karajan.

    In today's Washington Post I see that Peter Serkin has died. I heard him a couple of times in recital, on one occasion being treated to some superlative Bach. I also have a few of his recordings, among them a particularly attractive collection of Mozart concerti and alternative versions of Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" on modern and period pianos. His was a distinctive and valuable musical voice, and even if it never achieved the "household word" status of his father's, it will be missed.

    For those of you who have the Amazon music streaming service-I have discovered a large number of song compilations of Russian singers taken from recordings which were originally issued during the era of 78s. There are many opera singers of whom I was not aware. Also popular or traditional songs are included. I may be wrong but I think these recordings are only available digitally( unless one tries to collect the probably very rare 78s issued in Soviet Union).
