mikeweil Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 40€ (minus VAT plus shipping) @ jpc.deIf they offer that at such a low price, the lady must have had some generous Russian sponsor ... no wonder nobody buys Miklos Spányi's complete recording on period keyboards, all single CDs at normal price. I know he had to pay for the recording sessions himself, the label just finances the pressing and such. But it must be dull to listen to all that on modern piano.

I recently asked about Spanyi when there was a sale, but got no recommendations at all ... there are like ... 300 discs, so where to start?First impression is not dull at all, rather quite surprising, but I'm only two discs in.

Yes, completely remastered for this edition in DSD. Thanks, Lon. Have you had any opportunity to compare with the earlier set? I find some of the sessions in the previous edition a bit thin-sounding, which I have attributed to the original recordings. It shows up here, however: http://www.popmarket.com/details/117622749?feature_id=117622601&cid=nl%3A1198966738&utm_medium=email&utm_source=generator-popmarket&utm_campaign=email%7C1198966738%7C20151023&utm_content=nllink-477c563f-Glenn%20Gould Edited December 31, 2015 by Daniel A Sp.

jazzbo Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Okay, I'm corrected. I had ordered it when they had it on special and the package was lost, and they refunded because they told me they had none in stock. That changed I guess. I bought it again elsewhere. I didn't do much in the way of comparing the two, just spun discs from the new set, and they sound excellent, and gave the old set to my best friend for Xmas. . . . The book is amazing and the sound of all I have heard is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Xept I feel pissed on by Sony .... got the big Bach box and then many of the latest Gould Collection or however it was called ... and then shortly after they bring out this new box with new remastering. Guess that's capitalism and free markets and stuff, but it's also disrepect for those that keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) I can dig that. I have had the same journey through different versions. This is probably the final "physical product" we'll get of the Gould material this decade or longer, and they did it right. . . . I caved and got it and am glad I did. I no longer expect any respect or consideration or even common sense from any but the smallest of labels. (Guess I'm just old and cynical now, but I have fewer disappointments).

Daniel A Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) It sounds like a wise state of mind, as things go these days. In retrospect, I find it odd that the previous box wasn't DSD:d, but perhaps they wanted to be able to take it one step further later, which of course they did. Lon, any opinion on the reproductions of the LP covers in the latest version compared to the previous one? As you can hear, I'm grasping at straws to resist an upgrade...

Van Basten II Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Not exactly a bargain but a relatively low price can be found for the Anthology of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra series, the 152 CD set can be found at 537 $ on Amazon.Com http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00G6N4GLO/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=&sr= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Not sure if this has been mentioned before but Gunter Wand The Great Recordings: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Great-Recordings-G%C3%BCnter-Wand/dp/B0069EOZT8/ref=cm_rdp_product I think I'll pass, since I know I will hardly crack open a box like this. The price on the Abbado RCA/Sony set has dropped a bit: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Complete-Sony-Album-Collection/dp/B00J1XNMDO/ref=pd_bxgy_15_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=06MNBBRSZ32RQQHRWH7G (I ordered it before, but this price drop is not so extreme that I regret the previous order.)

ejp626 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 True confessions time - I came quite close to pulling the trigger on this set - Jean Martinon with the CSO: http://www.amazon.com/Jean-Martinon-Complete-Recordings-Orchestra/dp/B00PCCWXPG/ref=pd_sim_15_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41ZbXNCA-NL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0489FGCWJ58W7R9PCKV3 Fortunately, I checked my email account, and I have already bought the set last April. Obviously it didn't make much of an impression. I haven't even been able to locate it, but I will spend some time this weekend looking in some places where it ought to be. Nonetheless, this looks like a fairly interesting set, and hopefully I will be able to post some impressions later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 , I know the feeling, maybe not with a boxset but i have stopped counting the times where i was on the verge of buying or did buy a CD I already had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved about two months after I would have gotten this, and it is probably in a random box in the basement, since I hadn't fully integrated my shelves before the move. So in one sense, I can understand why I don't remember having the set, but if this isn't a wake up call, I don't know what is. I have a whole shelf of box sets that I have only listened to once. I think I need to rethink my priorities. It is true that I have cut way back on buying new (or reissued) music. But I need to actively purge more music. Who am I kidding that I will listen to this?
