well chaps, I'm afraid that I've weakened and have been buying again over the past week... a mixture of real bargains I couldn't refuse and recordings I've had on my wish-list for a long time... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/fandango68/Beethoven/51fnJf4SA4L__SL500_AA300__zpse5027790.jpg ht...

Lenny, if it's any consolation, I also have a ticket, although having recently managed to get through this 'modernisation', I feel I'm ready for anything: Jared we'll have to compare notes--we see it HD style Feb 16 at the NYC Zigfield.

including those within box-sets, it will probably be about 150 CDs and about 20 opera DVDs/ Blu-Rays... Umm... box sets only count as one, right? So, as far as my wife is concerned... 6 this year. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. that's a very sensible policy... :wink: I seem to remember tha...

That concept has already been used (and used up) by Jonathan Miller, in his infamous Mafia production set in contemporary Little Italy. Sure glad I missed that one! I may not be as lucky this time--Sue wants to see this one. :( Lenny, if it's any consolation, I also have a ticket, although having r...

including those within box-sets, it will probably be about 150 CDs and about 20 opera DVDs/ Blu-Rays... I would say however that I have been listening avidly during 2012 and am pleased to be in a position where I have cleared the whole backlog of CDs which I hadn't heard... last spring, I had about ...

As I mentioned to Pepe, I was very privileged to get to see this down at the Hereford Courtyard theatre last Saturday night... coming away from the performance, you can certainly see why it is so logistically difficult and expensive to stage, when you are having to juggle the lavish set props, huge ...

I have been listening to quite a lot of Renaissance music of late, especially from the Tallis Scholars, which I have been enjoying greatly.

Jared

then of course, you have Derek Jarman's moving film, for a different angle:

An unlikely pairing, but it works. Isabelle Faust is a marvelous violinist who deserves to be ranked with the likes of Mutter and Mullova. Pepe, I'm sorry but I don't own any Mullova, but if I might be so bold, Faust is one of the very finest violinists performing anywhere in the world today, and i...

Or you could get the grand, newly released 35 CD Kempff box from DG, which includes the Schubert, Schumann, Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt, Mozart, Bach, etc, solo recordings. It is his complete repertoire (rather than complete recordings), which means if he recorded something more than once you get the ...

Hey Jared, If I had the choice between the Schiff and the Kempff box set, my vote will go to the Kempff. The Kempff set is one of my favorite box set in my entire (little in CMG standard) collection. Matt. Thank you my friend... the Kempff set certainly seams to be a favourite with many people and ...

thank you Lance, for a fascinating and for me, timely thread. I cannot express surprise at Sean's lack of ownership of the magnificent Impromptus (Brendel 2CD Philips, with Moments Musicaux & German Dances or Perahia on Sony, Sean) because as of yet, I do not own any of Schubert's Sonatas... yet the...

During the first decades after it´s completion in 1858 it was usually played in 2 parts in different evenings, and the first more or less complete performance was given as late as 1890 when the composer was long dead. I can understand that that must have been rather galling (or, Gauling?) for a com...

why do the French 'hate' Berlioz, Pepe? Would it perhaps be the inverse reason as to why he's the only French composer I actually like?

I agree, but of course he didn't record the complete concertos. Personally, I wouldn't buy any of the complete sets, but get a variety of pianists in the concertos they play best. Not as cheap as buying in bulk, but enlightening in every other way. That's right John, I was aware that he didn't. I t...
