So, will this save the Euro?

Very cool indeed! Disc VI: Mingus At Monterey, September 18, 1965 1. The Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster (E) 9:33 (Charles Mingus) 2. Don’t Let It Happen Here (E) 9:11 (Charles Mingus) 3. They Trespass The Land Of The Sacred Sioux (E) 8:39 (Charles Mingus) 4. When The Saints Go Marching In (E) 4:30 (K.E. Purvis-J.M. Black) guess I'll put a pre-order in, too!

Great news indeed! The Monterey set I got mostly because of that Mingus track (there's some other interesting music spread on the three discs). I wonder if they found more, unreleased material from that concert? Guess not or Cuscuna would have stated so.

Sorabji - Ogdon is unavailable, it seems ...

Thanks Moms and D.D. - will see, I might eventually get some cheap symphonies box (Barshai/WDR) and maybe the string quartets (Borodins or Fitzwilliams there? I tend to the former, but it seems their disc with the final two is kind of hard to find). Just to get myself a better picture ... but I'm in no rush!

where did you find this info? i've been digging around for it and I can't find it anywhere. not that I doubt you personally or anything I just wanted to know where I can find some info about release dates and when I can expect to get these in the US. really excited about the Douglas and Abrams sets. I received an email from CAM Jazz on 7/31. The release date according to the email is Oct. 9th. Yep, straight from the source! Took the JPGs from that email (and uploaded them myself again, so the links should last a while - and yes, they came in those different sizes).

I'd horsewhip Schaap if I had a horse. But a horsewhip is much cheaper than a horse! Didn't know about that screw up - damn!

Yeah, so then "oggi" was a misleading transcription for Italian-savvy folks ... but since the guy wants to boogie, who cares (uh, I just see it was "oggy", so that's that!)

is that "cuu-oggi" as in "aggie" or as in italian "oggi"?

complete studio albums - that would imply that all the material released later on some LP series is not included?

Where to look for the piano trios? I've heard a recording with Argerich many years ago, if memory doesn't play tricks on me (I think it was just one of Shostakovich's trios, paired with a trio by some other composer, but again I'm not sure). Might have been this one, but the cover doesn't ring a bell: Nothing quite pulls me there (well, Kremer a tiny bit, maybe, but ...) - where else to look?

One more I missed, sorry! All the best! :party:

Sorry for being late, Lon! Wish you all the very best! :party:

Fauré - Complete Chamber Music for Strings and Piano (5CD) - €9.54 on amazon.it Haven't heard it but read a very favorable review and gave it to my mother as a gift (cost three times as much three months ago!) - probably she was too busy to listen yet, but at this price, I'll just get it for me as well anyway! That baroque box looks excellent, btw! A nice companion to the "Lumières" box, I'm sure.

Now, sometimes - only sometimes - I wish there was someone loud enough to drown out the bulls hit that comes from your fingers!

I very much enjoy Gulda! Has Hantaï only recorded book 1 so far?

Yay! And some Swiss Kriss, too!

This is off-topic here of course, but I've recently been recommended by D.D. to check out Blandine Rannou's Rameau and it's wonderful. Go to www.discplus.ch and put in "ZZT-010301" into the full text search field and get it for 10€ (plus shipping, which of course might make that a less attractive offer than others you might find).

Thanks Lon! A friend let me have what I think is an EMI recording (Jellinek/Legge, Abbey Road, 1957-59) - haven't yet listened to it though.

Okay - that might mean I'm interested then.... & Friends sounds fine to me in it's available edition but having new remasters of "Let My Chillun" and "Epitaph" might be nice indeed!

Does anyone know if that box has any new remasters compared to previously available CD reissues?

Do you build houses (or palaces, more likely?) as they had back then, wearing period cloths (no wristwatches, please), smelling as people must have, and only listen to HIP music after having HIP foods and drinks, too? EDIT: forgot the most important part: where do you go and inhale the quiet, the silence that must have been around in the world back then? To me, this is all just one of many ways and I'm somewhat pissed by the ideological twist you so often hear when HIP music is being explained.

They're not losing it, just an approach in search for a different one. The music always is more than the notes, it also encompasses the sound, and that is linked to instruments. Cellos or violins in Bach's time sounded different, that's a fact. The introduction of steel strings and higher tension and modern tunings changes the sound a lot. Like Skip Sempé stated: "In most fine music written before the 1950s, the sound and the composition were linked by the composer. Some performers do not care about this, and some listeners don't care either, but that was clearly the method behind the tradition in question. Without any doubt, this is the manner in which harpsichord music was conceived." I appreciate the approach of a lot of these players, but I just can't get around to like their sound. "These players" being the non-HIP, what some would call "romantic" performers, I assume, or am I misunderstanding what you're saying? I tend to agree with that, though for me it's not a "black and white" case. Ha, I read it that Mike meant the HIP ones with "these players". So clarification would indeed be nice After having played the entire Sonatas/Partitas by Szeryng, I'm now halfway into Zehetmair's recordings. Beautiful just as well!

Gave a first spin to the Suk trio version - it's great! I guess that one, the Rubinstein/Heifetz/Feuermann and the Gilels/Kogan/Rostropovitch rank about the same for me - each one has their merits. And then I've just got another one: Very different, much mellower, but I'm enjoying it a lot, too!

re: Tortelier - sorry, didn't look close enough. The early recording is here: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1713529 And as far as I can read then, it's the same as on the EMI 4CD set: http://www.amazon.com/Bach-violoncelle-Sonates-Partitas-Coffret/dp/B0040UEI5Y/
