Still any interest out there for a Columbia Modern Music Series box set ?

Hope everyone is well Are there any recommended sites where we can purchase actual compact discs of SONY/SONY Classical new releases ? I’ve seen a couple of sites in Japanese but unable to read Japanese. The reason I am asking is that I recently bought a couple of newly released SONY discs on Amazon -a Pasquale Grasso disc and a Yo-Yo Ma disc on Amazon and they were both manufactured on demand CDR burn pressings -seems like Amazon only sells new SONY releases as burns. I remember Hiroshi Tanno’s really great site but that closed years ago. Thanks Bob

Thanks Pim, got the book but thanks for reaching out - All the best, Bob

Paul Desmond -Warner/RCA Mosaic This is probably a long shot but does anyone have the box that the four CDs came in for sale? Thanks for reading Bob

Just got email that Cleveland Quartet RCA recordings have been issued on 23 CD box set which includes Schubert Cello Quintet with Ma on cello originally issued ton CBS Masterworks Set is on sale at archivmusic

Has anyone picked up a copy of this disc from Dot Time? I have purchased two, the first copy from Roni at a gig and another through Amazon when the first didn’t play. Neither copy plays - has anyone experienced the same issue with this disc ? It looks like a great set but it does not play in any CD player- I flipped them over and they look like CDR burn copies.

Lennie arrived - Set 0009 of 5000! A New Year full of new music ! Thanks Mosaic and happy holidays to all. Bob

I came across two mint Lp recordings of Ervin Nyiregyhazi on Columbia Masterworks from the 1970s. A bit heavy on the keyboard but intriguing. Any thoughts on these recordings or on this pianist who according to preliminary on-line search had a very promising career but encountered some significant personal and professional hurdles dying in relative obscurity in the 1980s after a brief period of fame with these recordings.

Thanks- will keep checking

I saw that there is a copy of this CD for auction on buyee.jp which I have been looking for years but for some reason it is says I cannot bid on this CD. Does anyone know anything about this site or what I can do to place a bid. I have been looking for this CD for many years, which according to the picture on buyee.jp was issued by “ Orpheus Music Group” in 2012. Any assistance or leads on tracking this CD down would be most appreciated. All the best, Bob

I remember picking up some compact discs of Tony around 2014-2015 of older Columbia recordings which had not been previously released on compact disc. The compact discs I picked up at that time were: In Person with Count Basie Sings A String of Harold Arlen I Wanna Be Around. i then saw that there were CDR pressings of many of his Columbia LPs previously unavailable on compact disc which I avoided and continue to avoid as CDRs generally do not hold up over time. Does anyone have a list of the Columbia LPs that were actually re-issued as separate CDs - not CDRs around the time when the Complete Tony Bennett Collection was issued 8-10 years ago? Thanks, Bob

Hope everyone is well, Anyone have any leads as to Internet sites where CDs from Brazil can be ordered and sent to the United States other than the usual third party Amazon-Discogs sites? Looking for a Joyce CD that was issued in Brazil in 2016. Thanks. Bob

Perhaps there has been a thread like this in the past but here’s two landmarks I’d like to propose renaming: Golden Gate Bridge - Golden Gate-Tony Bennett Bridge Manhattan Bridge- Sonny Rollins Bridge Ant other landmarks...

Thank you Mr. Bennett for all the great music these past 70 years - keeping you in my thoughts. Thank you to the board member who posted a nice picture of Mr. Bennett this past spring in Central Park observing COVID protocol - As always, Mr. Bennett looked great. Proposing that the Golden Gate Bridge bear his name and be renamed the Golden Gate- Bennett Bridge.
