  1. No, but I see someone is selling that volume on Amazon for $15.
  2. Schnabel.
  3. I like most of the folks here.

  5. Considering that the Bolton/Anderza has no real connection to this music, your comment almost makes me wonder if Michael was just looking for a Select project that he could stick these two in, and came up with this one, but I think its great that Michael chose such a set for a Select, given that they usually pick a set of LPs that actually saw release. With only two issued albums, this wouldn't even be a possibility as a Select without knowing that there are 29 worthy but unissued tunes to include. WELL, no need to spend all that money for these two Bolton/Anderza tracks. Uptown is going to issue a Dupree Bolton cd including these two tracks (licensed from EMI). It will be interesting to see which package hits the market first. I think MC might have thrown these on the Select after Uptown "flagged" 'em.
  6. Agree with most of Larry's post but ask if the Stern/Rose is the old mono. Curious. I like Walter's later stereo recording with Francescatti and much is out of tune. I would also add the Heifitz/Reiner collaboration to the violin concerto sweepstakes. The stereo CBS, Bruno Walter Brahms symphonies are of interest as well.
  7. Or it could have been a producer trying to save some bucks. We (folks "in the business") had a joke back then about all the duo recordings coming out.
  8. I blame Ted Turner. Oh yeah, the olympic bomber too.

  10. Since everyone is staying away from the orchestral stuff I will jump in here. Klemperer for the symphonies and requiem. Lehmann on DG is an interesting alternative for the requiem. The alts for the symphonies are too many to list - I currently have about 30 Brahms symphonies. Piano concerti - sticking to stereo and sets, Gilels/Jochum and Fleischer/Szell do it for me. Different approaches do it for me too) Did I miss mention of the piano quintet? Good piece. Pick your favorite players. I currently listen to Rubinstein/Guarneri and Jando/Kodaly. All the piano quartets by Rubinstein/Guarneri are dandy too. I friggin' love the trios by Rubinstein/Szeryng/Fournier. This is superior music making. Like Larry, I "slept on" the Rubinstein Brahms stuff but connected about 5 years ago and will check out any Brahms by him. The solo music is not easy to sort out but a really inexpensive, wonderfully played, problematically transferred collection is a 5 disc set on Vox by Walter Klien. Great Brahms playing, but not complete. I think I got the set for about $20. I had been bugging Vox for years to get this out. I see I didn't mention the Alto Rhapsody - wonderful and if you get the Klemperer symphonies you might get a wonderful performance by Christa Ludwig. Done for the moment, thanks for reading.
  11. He was a jazz fan and used to show up regularly backstage at the Chicago Jazz Festival. He seemed like a really nice guy.
  12. It is my least favorite.
  13. So, who am I dating?
  14. Since the issue of "Involution" they have discovered the original name was "Changes". Seems good to me.
  15. "What would John do"?
  16. I believe the instrument needs to "live". Do your best.
  17. Have not listened but if any of Blakey's answers sound "nuts", he was losing his hearing (big time) by then. Give him some slack. I could tell you stories about his hearing "on stage". I forgot to say he was "nuts" anyway.
  18. I'm really disappointed they omitted the "big band" titles from the "Big Sound" lp. Some of my favorite Verve/Hodges.
  19. The instrument could not be in better hands.
  20. You're welcome, Mark! Has anyone seen any PJ titles that look interesting? Ordered the Mulligan "California Concerts" vol 1 cause I have vol 2 and shit like that drives me crazy.
  21. This be right. I don't believe they should be paid for playing sports. Let them work if they need the cash, end of story. and pay some of their coaches several million dollars a year plus lucrative shoe contracts, plus tv shows? hmmmmmmmmmmm Stop that shit too!
  22. Hope you avoid the Fox channel on free tv as well, and never, ever give money via DVD(Or that run in syndication on non Fox stations) such as The Simpsons, House, King of the Kill, 24, Family Guy, WKRP in Cincinnati, That 70's Show, Arrested Development, The Time Tunnel, The X-Files, and many more. IF you would buy these, clearly you are worse than Hitler. Well, I'm free of those.
  23. I have some CP32s and they are from the '80s.
