Deepak Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 On 1/3/2019 at 11:33 AM, Larry Kart said: Several years ago, after a good deal of comparative listening and somewhat to my surprise, I settled on the Guarneri (RCA), now o.o.p. OTOH, the last time I looked, their early, middle and late LP sets can be found on Amazon at modest prices; CDs, I dunno. Their later Beethoven traversal on Phillips I haven't heard. Thanks Larry. I'm currently sampling Prazak, I initially wrote them off after just hearing selected movements, but I think they warrant more listening now. Quote

I like it, quite different to any other version I have heard. Different in what way? 10 minutes ago, Larry Kart said: Different in what way? Listened to the beginning of Concerto 5 -- awfully fast.

mikeweil Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 Got a box with ten bargain priced CDs from JPC today, all early music. This is the first I opened: I have other recordings of these pieces, but Mme Dévérité plays very well and the sound is great. Quote

The same label aka Arion offers a reissue of the excellent Elisabeth Tramier DÀnglebert performances (originally released on Verany) .... via JPC for EURO 3.99 ....

mikeweil Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 Bet I have more harpsichord CDs on my shelves than you do? I bought the Tramier disc long ago. Quote

I'm no match for sure (although have the Tramier Verany too 😎) .... my hint was meant for other forum members to take their chances on this one bargain reissue .... Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 Number 3 at the moment. I was introduced to these recordings in a "music appreciation class" at the University of Iowa by Eldon Obrecht and they remain as favorites. Obrecht brought Gunther Schuller to our class and later regaled me with stories of Art Tatum on 52nd St. I owe him a lot. Quote

Quite possibly my fault, but still...people like this are our true heroes. and he had a radio show too!!!!! Quote

This opened all kinds of things to discuss. I will never forget it. Quote

Chuck - were you ever in touch with him after your college years? Quote
