    I've discovered Florence Price recently, and I rather like what I hear. Definitely rooted in romanticism, but with some vernacular warmth.

    Still stuck with my laptop for an audio system (my big system and the rest of my belongings are scheduled to arrive on Wed), so within that limitation I enjoyed this recording streamed on Qobuz.

    This LP is probably of similar vintage as my Bach Brandenburg Concertos box below ...

    I have always been intrigued by high-end British electronics (not Cambridge, mind you) like EAR and Naim. Unfortunately, I am just concerned about servicing down the road since most have very limited distributions stateside and that is particularly true with EAR ...

    The DG big tulip mono, is from 1964 so it’s 55 yo! A full decade and some more, older than me.

    A friend of mine used to just call him "Dietrich Fischer-Baritone," because he was simply THE Baritone.

    This is an interesting collection of lesser known Baroque composers, such as Giovanni Carlo Cailò, Francesco Paolo Supriani, and Nicola Fiorenza.

    I like Zemlinsky too including his operas. The problem in addition to the change of styles from hyper romanticism to something leaner in the 1920s was compounded by the proscriptions of the music of such artists either for religion or for avant garde styles in the late 30s. So composers such as Schreker, Korngold, Zemlinsky and others got put in the closet. There are some unofficial live recordings of their music in the 50s-70s in Europe that were issued either on LP or CD.

    Actually these composers did alter their own style in the 20s and 30s to some extent but that music never got a chance to take hold because it was proscribed soon afterward.

    Sounds like problems with remastering. As I only have the following box, purchased a little over 10 years ago according to Amazon and a few other singles, I would like to supplement my collection ...

    Could be anything, from production or remastering problems to copyright issues; it's all speculation, of course. I tried to find out by mailing Decca directly, but all they said a while ago was that the release date was delayed, they didn't say why.

    Early works composed 1912-1918

    Nipponari Seven songs to Japanese lyrical poetry for female voice and small orchestra.

    Magic Nights Three songs to Chinese texts for soprano and orchestra.

    Czech Rhapsody Cantata for baritone, mixed chorus, orchestra and organ.

    The rhapsody at 36 minutes is a highly ambitious and energetic powerhouse.

    She performs on a modern Steinway and she's a magnificent player who uses a wide array of touch and dynamics..

    Now playing CD1 from the following twofer, a recent arrival for a first listen ...

    In all honesty, I did not even know there was a Vol 6 since I made a sweep at the b&m store some thirty years ago and picked up every volume that was available and apparently Vol 6 was not available over the two times when I visited the store. So 17 CD's over 6 volumes sounds reasonable ...

    These CD's are used but in excellent condition.

    The late Peter Hurford was an excellent organist though a bit underrated when compared with Helmut Walcha or Marie-Claire Alain.
