Not one used copy to be found anywhere. (I'm glad I have one, and bought a second one for a cello playing friend.) Yeah, that's a killer ... beautiful recording. NP: Hector Berlioz, Les nuits d'ete Susan Graham; Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Enjoy this well enough, although I wouldn't mind finding a recording where the voice and orchestra are a little more well balanced. As in, if you're going to do this with orchestra, let's hear it! ... Or perhaps simply piano accompaniment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 George Onslow, String Quartets Quatour Ruggieri Specifically, three of his early quartets. I really enjoy these and would like to hear more Onslow. He apparently composed for quartet (and I'd guess quintet) so that the first violinist would be a featured soloist above the others, more so than was typical of the period at least. Almost like mini-concertos. Other than that, I'm unfamiliar with his broader output (which was ample, 30-odd quartets and a similar number of quintets).

papsrus Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Bruckner, Symphony No. 9 Barenboim, Staatskapelle Berlin Recorded live in Berlin, 2010. Don't know if they recorded the recent cycle at Carnegie; be a treat if they did. I only saw a couple of reviews of that cycle in the NYT -- one of the opening concert, I believe, that was quite enthusiastic, and another that surveyed several (but not all) of the performances in a somewhat scattershot manner. Kind of along the lines of, 'well, he's an acquired taste.' ... Anyways, I'm just diving into this set now, beginning at with the last.

erwbol Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 30-32, Maurizio Pollini on Deutsche Grammophon (UCCG-51085).This is last year's SHM-CD with HR Cutting from the DSD mastering from 10/2011 by Emil Berliner Studios used previously for the SHM-SACD.Happily, this is considerably more pleasant on the ears than the 1987 double CD.
