Evan Parker's Monoceros is a wonderful recording - originally a "direct to disc". Also a solo date by Gunter Christmann (trombone and bass) on Ring/Moers. Don't think it made it to cd.

Very well done set. Get it.

Our good friend J.A.W. has a good grasp on this HERE.

The Callas Tosca is in my first post.

Yes, with an extra session added.

Furtwangler was a really interesting conductor/philosopher but many performances suffered from his "waywardness". When he "hit" he was unbeatable but that was only about 25% of the time IMHO. You have to be careful when buying his surviving recordings.

Furtwangler is a really interesting conductor and I used to have both a live and studio recordings - still have the lps of the studio version, but have not listened to them in 20 years. This is only because my priorities have drifted, not a critique.

Curious if you ever met Fischer and had a conversation about music. Maybe a PM would have been better.

I never considered these were "live" recordings.

Basic stuff - classic recordings, one each composer and this is just what popped into my mind. No consideration for "HIP" performances, just good singing and conducting.

Go Mark. I'll take the pictures.

Years ago I spoke to someone "in the know" and he said it isn't surprising there isn't more material the way Alan Douglas ran his sessions.
