Just starting to listen to a new box set, new to me anyway. Guiseppe Tartini Complete Violin Concertos L'Arte Dell'arco Giovanni Guglielmo Dynamic, 2015 recorded 1996-2010 29 CDs
Thanks. Yes. I saw that. I finally found this but as I am in the EU the Yahoo Japan Auction site blocks me. I'll defintely have to take a trip back to the shop and ask if they have the second volume lurking somewhere.
May I break in and add that there is also the 17 CD Clara Haskil Edition, alas long oop so also hard to get hold of.
That one came to me decades ago as one I bought from one of the cd clubs in the US (buy 11 for a penny, etc). Oh, how that takes me back to some great days with the cd clubs
And now, something I found at the Salvation Army today. BACH: Goldberg Variations - Glenn Gould (US Columbia Pittman fake stereo pressing)
This album has never been released on CD before, but it is one of the best Albinoni albums, and it is from 1961 Albinoni Concerti, Sonata (& the Giazotto Adagio) Roberto Michelucci, violin I Musici Philips, 1961
For whatever reason, I have many favorites for the Brahms symphonies. Karajan (60s), Barbirolli, Klemperer, Walter, Jochum and Sanderling/Dresden. My top pick is probably Barbirolli. The only one I have heard that I didn't like was Wand's.
This morning 1978 recording with Nikolai Petrov , piano. Svetlanov conducting USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra. Very good recording-even through my Stax headphones.
I am also a fan of Monteux and Klemperer. I intend to listen to van Beinum as well to see( hear) what I think.
Now listening to Myaskovsky Symphony 3 from the Svetlanov box of Russian and Soviet Orchestral Music Anthology. This is a wonderful symphony-probably one of his best.
Now the Myaskovsky 4th Symphony. Written 1918 when he returned from WW1. Recorded live, 1964. USSR Large Symphony Orchestra. This was a great orchestra. And the sound is wonderful.
I enjoyed this disc Jean Sibelius Scenes Historiques Suites 1 and 2 Rakastava Valse Lyrique Scottish National Orchestra Alexander Gibson Chandos, 1993 recorded 1977
