Listening to CD 1 from "Monastic Chant - 12th & 13th C. European Sacred Music" performed by Theatre Of Voices led by Paul Hillier on Harmonia Mundi.
This DVD just arrived: I have four DVDs from this series now, but can't decide if I should watch the performance or the documentary first. Thoughts?
Good music, all of it new to me. La Montaine is the pianist for his own composition. The second side is filled out with Hanson's Mosaics. Recorded 5/1-2/65, Eastman Theater, Rochester, NY. Producer: Harold Lawrence. Engineer: Robert Eberenz. Recorded using the famous Mercury sound truck, which went from venue to venue, even to Russia. Like most of the records I got that once belonged to this radio station, this is in good condition.
I actually left out the following Philips LP set by mistake as I just saw it on my LP shelf. Not sure I have ever seen the CD but it might be a parallel release - on both LP and CD, which did not last very long before the Universal family of labels, DG, London and Philips, etc stopped releasing digital recordings on LP for good ...
I found this LP set today for $5 in a local record store--couldn't resist! While searching for a review, I found a Japanese remastered SACD version and just ordered it. Should make for an interesting comparison. Gould isn't always my "go to" choice, but there's always some interesting playing as well as absolutely phenomenal playing, especially the way he clarifies voices.
First listen to CD 21 from "Rudolf Serkin - The Complete Columbia Album Collection" on Sony Beethoven - Concerto No. 2 & No. 4 Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy 1955 [/QUOTE]

Now playing this CD from the Knappertsbusch box. Also includes concerto 5 not recited on original cover reproduction. Original releases from q1954 and 1957. These remasters sound excellent. The performance of the 4th( as I listen) is amazing!
One of the best Mahler Symphony no. 6 i.m.h.o is this one from Thomas Sanderling. Also have this recording which i like.
Just finished watching DVD 2 from my new Warner Mehta box: First time I had seen this one. Quite entertaining. I have had the Decca concert (?1990) for ages.
First listen to CD 35 from "George Szell - The Complete Columbia Album Collection" on Sony. With the Cleveland Orchestra Prokofieff - Symphony No. 5
Sonatas numbered as 7 and 10. Recorded 5/19,21 & 23-24/59, Brahms-Salle, Musikverein, Vienna. My copy has the date 3/61 on the back cover. Discogs shows a second cover with the photo narrowed by blue bands on either side. The back cover has text in German & English, while mine has English only, as well as having the composition titles in English only on the cover. The label, on the other hand, is in German.
Very good. Peter Seaborne's works are sometimes a jarring contrast to Bach's, but my ears quickly adjusted.
Now playing: François Couperin - Premier livre de pièces de clavecin - Christophe Rousset - recorded 1994 CD 1 of this set:
