Happy New Year, Jim.

You have to be a major fan of Toscanini to want to bid on this collection. I am not ...

 

First CD purchase to ring in the New Year!

 

Awesome.

 

NOTE: This is not even close to the complete Toscanini series of the period.

 

What's so impressive about getting a sinus infection?

 

That's a great recording, hoping to catch Mutter at the NY Phil over the next few weeks.

 

Guten Rutsch!

 

No, but my employer was a sponsor.

 

Not sure if you're joking - I just meant I couldn't go.

 

Shuffling through the HvK box. So far the outstanding performance are two Mozart concertos with Gieseking.

 

I didn't figure it was but still a good deal for some Classic Classical.
That is if your a fan of Toscanini and His historic work.

 

Those must be performances with the Philharmonia Orchestra, right? I do not think Gieseking ever recorded with the BPO ...

Happy New Year, John!

 

I was joking, of course - I couldn't let that opportunity slip by!

 

*PLEASE*
When you Guys post a oddball label/company or a CD that's hard to see the label.....can ya post the Name of the label and the UPC in case someone like myself would like to buy a copy also?

Just say'in

 

The Philharmonia, yes. 1951.

Happy New Year to all.

 

Where ya been haven't seen ya post in awhile!

 

Another recent used find. The sound on this set is better than the 50 Great Recordings (or as I like to call them, 50 Botched Remasterings) of the d minor and c minor recordings with Markevitch. The performances are sublime.

 

Now playing CD1 - T1 "Winter Dreams" and Francesca da Rimini from this set for a first listen ...

 

Not sure if this image will be much better without any digital enhancement ...

 

I haven't felt like I had much of value to add to the discussion.

But I've still been reading.

 

Thanx Stuart!
Got it from the UPC Bar.

Early music is not the cup of tea for everyone. There are people who just do not like any vocal works but otherwise enjoy classical music.

BTW, I may have missed your post, how do you like that Christmas CD on the CRD label?

 

Happy New Year everybody!

 

Now playing CD3 from this set for a first listen. The opening movement was again very beautifully played ...

 

Just ordered the DVD at amazon. Thanks for the heads up.
