Classical Corner Classical Music Corner (thread #28)

Now playing the following CD for a first listen ...

 

Yes, a few. 4-5-6 a year. Gidon Kremer records exclusively for Nonesuch and ECM. Richard Goode is still under contract, too.

 

Yes, they are. How do you like them? How do they compare to the live CD you have?

I am not a fan of her Rachmaninoff.

 

Disappointing Schumann, but the Brahms is pretty good.

 

Classical Music is great therapy!
It's got me over many rough spots in life.

 

OK, I'll confess: that's Greek to me!

Er, then again, maybe not...

 

Disappointing Schumann (rushed and man-handled), but the Brahms is pretty good. The slow movement was lovely.

 

Jewgenij Mrawinkij / Leningrader Philharmonie / Tchaïkovsky - Symphonie Nr. 6 H-Moll Op. 74 "Pathetique"
Deutsche Grammophon - Polydor West Germany - 1981
No. 16 in the series, Grosse Komponisten Und Ihre Musik



320

This is the first DG LP I've owned on this black variation of the label. Lovely colour booklet, that's all in German. For a $1.99 at one of the local VV's, I'm not complaining.

I might have seen one black label VG LP before, posted in one of the vinyl threads, by forum member Scroller. He has a lot of interesting classical LPs in his collection.

Another recent find. And a great one!

 

What a steal and really beautiful pics.

 

Now playing CD3 from the following set for a first listen ...

 

Now listening to Alicia DeLarrocha playing Granados - "Danzas Espanolas" (UK Decca)

 

Now playing CD9 from the following set for a first listen ...

 

Now playing CD9, the last CD from this set for a first listen. This has been an excellent set and I got it from jpc at a great price ...

 

Yes, Oliver. I was pleasantly surprised. Value Village, at least the 3 locations in Calgary, rarely have any good used vinyl.

Thanks. Pretty good for a Canon point & shoot.

 

Now playing CD4, the last CD from the following set for a first listen ...

 

Now playing SACD4 from the following set for a first listen ...

 

Hi Stuart!

Now playing this lovely CD:

 

I did not know Kemal Gekic has recorded for Naxos.

 

Yes, I think that is the only recording of him on the label. A shame, for it would make finding (and affording) his CDs much easier.

 

Like the following CD. I thought paying $18 for it for expensive a year or two ago. The asking price on Amazon is now almost $94 ...

 

Now playing CD2 - all Chopin works from the following twofer ...

 

Anyone notice how Music and Arts stole Pearl CD's cover scheme? I bought a CD recently, thinking it was a Pearl CD, based on the cover, but it turned out to be a Music and Arts.

 

Interesting. I have a number of M&A CD's but none by Pearl ...

 

The latter has a much better track record when it comes to transfers of historical performances.
