soulpope Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Günter Wand Box _Can't be shipped to the US. Plus, I don't want his Beethoven and other stuff. Being late with subject input, in case you still want to try out Günther Wand you could (should) start with these individual discs : These are excellent recordings........a special aspect being that Wands`s analytical and structured lead meets the Münchner Philharmoniker, Celibidache`s former long term partners...........these are performances from the 90`s and compared to the late 70`s recordings with the Kolner Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra (which I admire too) tempos are slowed down just a few notches - don`t get me wrong, still miles away from Celibidache`s tempi and view - but IMO even clearer bringing to light Wand`s individual vision(s) on Bruckner...

soulpope Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Still with Bruckner, regarding Kurt Eichhorn`s marvellous recordings on japanese Camerata at least his superd Bruckner 7 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sinfonie-Bruckner-Orchester-Linz-Eichhorn/dp/B00006ALCS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1420706469&sr=8-8&keywords=eichhorn+bruckner is still available for a rather decent price.......

psu_13 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I really like the Eichhorn. CD Japan had a set of everything he did with that orchestra for a while. A bit spendy though, and notes are only in Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulpope Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I really like the Eichhorn. CD Japan had a set of everything he did with that orchestra for a while. A bit spendy though, and notes are only in Japanese. agreed, it features symphonies 2,5,6,7,8 and 9 (eichhorn unfortunately died before finishing the complete cycle) would cost inkl shipment 80 dollars http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/CMCD-10008 which on base of the interpretation`s quality is a bargain TO ME. but as having a weak spot for bruckner 5 und 7, the forementioned bruckner 7 could be an excellent starting point for someone interested in eichhorn but not willing to spent the asking price for the box set.....

Stefan Wood Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I have that Wand you mentioned and it is good. Not tempted to buy the big box at all. Would be very interested in the Eichhorn but am curious to see if it gets a reissue here or in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_13 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 iirc, those recordings were issued in the U.S. ten to fifteen years ago (wow) but are now mostly out of print. It would be nice if someone issued them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very interested in the Eichhorn but am curious to see if it gets a reissue here or in Europe. Reg Eichhorn, it`s a japanese label aka Camerata and was just distributed in Europe and the US 10-15 years ago - this distribution deal was terminated and now they did the japanese only Reissue Box I`ve mentioned before...... Unfortunately also out of print, but if you should stumble over this in the "secondary marked" buy with confidence : Edited January 9, 2015 by soulpope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomsMobley Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Anyone have the big Heifetz box from Sony? I see it for 146.20 Euros with shipping to US after VAT removal. It's a tombstone, don't waste your money. Unless you're specifically a cultural historian of Heifetz, what's the point? Musically, the only sides you'd want to hear more than once are those with Rubinstein-- get that box instead. Or, better yet, buy ten random CDs on the BIS or CPO labels and hear wondrous and/or extraordinary music, old and recent, that you probably haven't heard before.... Isn't already everywhere, cheap, not just stuffed into a cardboard coffin etc etc. Again, unless the very speficic elements of Heifetz' Lithuanian Jewish-American success story is important to you... forget it. And, even so, Heifetz' repertoire was largely dogshit, when you consider what he could have peformed/recorded and what he did... Not everyone knew better then be we surely do now. Please note, I'm not diminishing Heifetz' Jewish diasporic story but... for dem bones, dem bones get some Dave Tarras, that Yazoo cantorial CD, Bear Family "Beyond Recall"... etc etc. Throw in some I.B. Singer... Edited January 26, 2015 by MomsMobley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Heads up: Decca Sound The Mono Years box, 53 CDs. I definitely shouldn't get this, but I might. It does look far closer to my taste than the original overall Decca box, which I rarely dip into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

page Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Not that often Dutch writers get their work translated in English and are published in the U.S.. I saw an item on a documentary of this one:http://www.amazon.com/Music-Netherlands-Antilles-Antilleans-Caribbean/dp/1628461853/ref=sr_1_1/190-4433026-3444916?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1423418469&sr=1-1Jan Brokken: The Music of the Netherlands Antilles: Why Eleven Antilleans Knelt before Chopin's heart Chopin's music 'translated' to the Caribean. Chopin was already my favourite composer at age 10. I've enjoyed this docu and thought you might enjoy the book which comes with an cd. I'm going to order the original Dutch edition. Hope you'll enjoy. Regards, page. Edited February 8, 2015 by page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
