Do you like MTT much? He does not do anything for me. I only have two Gershwin recordings by him but am no fan of Gershwin either ...
I have the following Symphony No. 9 along with the Bernstein 1980 VPO recording as a CD single and in the Complete Symphonies box. I also have Bernstein's 1970 Symphony No. 9 on a DVD ...
There was also Johan Helmich Roman, aka the Swedish Handel. IIRC, he was a member of the Handel's orchestra in London ...
Pierre Hantai is the best harpsichordist of his generation IMHO. I have the following twofer by him ...
Great box. Nice sound. I've listened to the first five discs. I also have his 15-CD Stuttgart Recordings set.
Now playing CD3 - Brahms Symphony No. 1 from the following box, a recent arrival for a first listen ...
A sublime performance and thanks to @J.A.W. for recommending this box (and the Giulini London Years box). It is better late than never as I did not really start to appreciate Giulini until the last half dozen years. I just checked and I actually have all the Beethoven Symphonies by Giulini, albeit spread across 2 different big boxes, the same is true for his Brahms Symphonies ...
Now playing CD2 from the following box for a first listen ... Skipping early music for today. @bluemooze is a bit more dedicated to that subgenre than I am ... Original jacket also means original length, as this CD is only 45 min.
It was a well done picture with nice cinematography, reasonably faithful to the novel. I have it on DVD. HG Wells has been rather fortunate in movies as War of the Worlds, The First Men In the Moon, Shape Of Things To Come and Island of Lost Souls [Dr Moreau] were interesting films as well. No one has done an opera on them that I am aware though.
There is also a remake of Time Machine. But then there are remakes for Sound of Music, Pink Panther and many more and they are all flops.
