I'm sure you do, you are the Early Music specialists here. Checked my collection and it turned out I don't have any pre-Baroque music. While I acknowledge the importance of Early Music it's just not my cup of tea, the more so since most of it is church music and I'm not religious - the two simply don't go together for me.
Listening to this 2-LP album of Mahler Symphony No.5. Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic. Columbia Masterworks, US pressing, 1963.
Josquin DesPrez: Motets. Herreweghe, La Chapelle Royale. Harmonia Mundi France LP. FWIW I liked Early Music when I first heard it in college. There were very few Early Music LPs of course in the 60s but a few more started to come out in the 70s when I heard it and started collecting them. Before that I only listened to Baroque classical music. I was rather late to orchestral music comparatively.
I have been heavily into baroque as well and in fact did not get more into classical until the past ten years. Then there are some who are very much into "modern" classical, which I cannot care less.
I am also not religious, but I enjoy a lot of religious music. I always listen to some on Sunday; right now its Hildegarde von Bingen. I also like bluegrass gospel, gospel & gospel blues. On the other hand, most contemporary Christian music puts me off because I just don't like the music itself.

I have about about 12 - 15 William Lawes' recordings. An interesting personality and he died in the English Civil War in defense of King Charles I ... William Lawes - Wikipedia
I want to let Hilary Hahn fans know that a new video has been posted on YouTube from MusicalSheet ACCOMPANIMENTS titled Hilary Hahn: Sibelius and Berlioz conducted by Mikko Franck and the R. France Philharmonic. It's of Hilary performing in Paris earlier in the month. It got posted a few days ago.
CD from the Philips Stereo Years box. Includes Sextet In E Flat Major, Op. 81b (For Two Horns, Two Violins, Viola And Cello).
Yeah, another box but part of the massive HvK on EMI collection issued by Warner's. Perhaps someone can make a roll of EMI stickers to put over the Warner logo as it annoys me??? Disc one: Debussy: La Mer and Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un Faune with Berlin P.O Ravel: Boléro, Alborada del gracioso and La Valse with Orchestre de Paris One reason I picked it up was actual due to a 1980's HMV Concert Classics cassette I had of the Debussy that I loved (it was a very well duplicated tape) and having a number of recordings at the time bought used but needless to say mint in SQ four channel this was a good way as any to get them.
I have the following companion to your box for a while to fill out some of my Karajan collection gaps. While I already have many Karajan singles on both DG and EMI on both CD and LP, I would like to get his EMI recordings with significant soloists on CD, a better format with cleaner sound. While I have the Karajan Symphony Edition box, I decided to skip the Karajan 1960's and Karajan 1970's box as that would result in too many duplicates, a painful experience IMO.
