The excellent performances aside, this platter has superb sonics ....

Yes  Eisler, Prokofiev - Bridges (Alpha Classics) is a remarkable album in many ways.
IMO Guillaume de Chassy is a musical genius with a knack for fascinating crossover ideas and stunning projects.Just listen for instance to his "Wonderful World" (Bee Jazz) that he produced with Daniel Yvinec. More on the American jazz side but hauntingly fasicnating nevertheless.
Aside from the moving songs on "Bridges"  that are beautifully sung I dig the combination  of upright bass, clarinet and piano. There are far too little Eisler productions in general on the market, so this is a welcome addition. But I find the Prokofiev adaptations especially thrilling. The speciality on the entire album are the improvisational passages that free this project from the stiffness of many (modern) classical recordings and give it a natural flow.

Yeah, pricey. Not looking for pricey right now. I mean, really, they got them big as legit maxo-boxes for tree-fitty, just sayinggggg.....At those prices, right now, that's a dabble. From what I heard, a little dabble won't du ya',

Prices here are pretty fair (no idea about transatlantic shipping though):

They run sales all the time, the last on Testament is just over, I guess they'd offer them 20 to 25% cheaper then.
