I have the following LP, same conductor, same orchestra, same record label (now defunct) but different work bought in the mid to late 70's ...
And the same series "The Da Camera Library of Baroque Masterpieces". Seems to have been an active label from the 70s into the the early 90s. Mine is dated 1977. Can't remember when or where I bought this, though. Engineered by one Sergio Marcotulli, but not much other information about the recording.
Thanks. Interesting. I wonder if anyone on the forum here has heard anything of Flagello, the composer's, music? Really impressed by the sound quality of mine. Is yours very well recorded too? Haven't heard this in decades and today was the first time on the new(er) sound system. Very pleasurable.
The recording itself is quite good but the press quality of the LP is nothing to write home about. It is in the same league as the Columbia and RCA LP's of that era ...
On the turntable: Sticking with Vivaldi for a bit. I really like the design of this cover. It's a shame that all copies I've ever seen suffer from the same fairly severe foxing around the edges, but acid-free paper wasn't much of a thing at the time (this was in my father's collection and probably purchased new when it came out, in 1953). Happily, this one survived the period when our cat thought the record collection made an excellent scratching post.
I get my LPs (and CDs) here from stores that sell used items; I've had very little luck at thrift stores & hardly ever go to one. The 45-cent records come from a big place that deals mainly in books, plus CDs, DVDs, LPs, games, etc. The other places are the same but not nearly as book-oriented. One is a big comics seller & also deals in action figures & other collectables.
Flagello was a Neo-Romantic with an interesting compositional style. I own several recordings of his music. I’d say he’s worth checking out, especially if you like American composers around this time like Barber and Copland for example.
Did not even know Arrau had actually recorded Bach Partitas. Now playing CD72 - Bach Partitias Nos 1 & 2 from the following box for a first listen ...
I have had some similiar experience, although it was our dog as a puppy thinking "Wow i have teeth". Luckily the record itself survived and plays perfect.
Lol. That's pretty bad. Our cat never chewed on the records, just liked the edges in the upright rows to sharpen his claws on, so the spines are shredded on some of those I have from back then. This one looks like your dog actually tried to eat the thing!
Cats seem to be fond of record sleeves. My then-girlfriend's cat loved to sharpen his claws on the spines of part of my record collection, back in the 1980s. Fortunately, it didn't do any damage to the records inside. Turned out it hadn't devalued the collection either when I sold it in 1995.
My kitties have never chewed on any LPs, but they have chewed through the cable on two sets of headphones, one of which cost $250 to replace! (My Sennheiser HD800S.)
I dug this out of storage to listen to and re-evaluate. I have been thinking about buying the Pletnev SACD on Pentatone.
I am not familiar with her recordings but a check shows that her CDs are hard to find and some LPs command very high prices. She seems to be highly regarded.
I read somewhere that the other two he recorded, #90 and #91, were on a DG Japan release, and are hard to find in the states.
I buy from UK based etailers often but hesitate to buy from Japan. I believe Tower Records in Japan handles international sales. While I used to buy many recordings from the Tower Records B&M stores in the greater NY area, buying from Japan is quite different ... Who knows, maybe Haydn 90 & 91 by Bohm will eventually be released on Decca Eloquence, the DG Australian label.
