  12. Classical music bargains

    in Classical Discussion

    Posted · Edited by T.D.

    For what it's worth,

    Presto Classical (UK) has an online box set sale expiring today (1/16). Shipping rates to USA are low, and some prices are favorable relative to Amazon sellers.

    I bought 4 items (Bavouzet's complete Debussy solo piano music, "Flemish Polyphony" by various artists, "Complete works of Guillaume Lekeu" by VA, and "Scarlatti: 50 Sonatas" by Pierre Hantai), which is a big splurge for me. [Usual disclaimers apply: I have no relationship to Presto Classical, etc.]

    Good article on the NFL's stadium-building insanity, prompted by the Chargers' just-announced relo.

    " These buildings [lavish new stadia] are in use no more than a couple dozen days each year, and they are built, in most cases, with substantial contributions from taxpayers. They are incapable of achieving many of their supposed purposes—creating economic stimulus, providing public space—but they sure make imposing if not especially enduring monuments to NFL owners."

    [Sorry, I couldn't find any other NFL threads.]

    ... Also sad to see the great Hungarian pianist Zoltan Kocsis on the obit list.

    Very sad indeed. Regrettably, I only learned of this yesterday (5 Jan 2017).
