1,800 yen per title? that's all relative, isn't it? I was just kidding, hence the smiley...

Individually for 11,340 yen (about $110)? That's a bit steep, isn't it

You mean this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-1955-1957-Jackie-McLean/dp/B000O59YU8/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1390491960&sr=1-2&keywords=jackie+mclean? You're aware that this is a European public-domain release and that the label did not have access to the original masters? They most likely sourced the material from existing CDs.

No. As I said I was just speculating. At the moment there's no reason whatsoever to assume there will be a CD release.

That is only really two CDs worth, so I wonder if that amounts to a set, or whether there is other material that might make up further discs. I didn't check how much material there is, it was just a thought. Maybe they'll do a 2CD-set, maybe they'll do nothing.

Café Zimmermann are indeed excellent. Their (J.S.) Bach set is great.

Since the Mosaic set seems to be "LP only", I'm guessing Universal or their imprint Hip-O Select (or Verve Select) will release the CD version. It's just speculation on my part, of course.

I think I beat you to it - see post #6, right above yours

resist, ejp. a false bargain since there's approximately zero RCA recordings by Davis that are either better than his Philips sides or better than equivalent competition from other conductors/labels. And if there are a couple/three of those discs you're curious about, pick them up cheap separately. There are some excellent Davis recordings from earlier in his career but RCA + the live LSO stuff are almost wholly mediocre at best. I totally disagree as far as Davis' RCA Sibelius symphonies recordings are concerned, in my opinion they're on par with his earlier Philips interpretations.

That's one of the best interpretations in my opinion.

Existing thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/70158-charles-mingus/ Why don't you check the discography on the Mosaic site and you will see that the Minneapolis date is included: http://www.mosaicrecords.com/discography.asp?number=253-MD-CD&price=$119.00&copies=7CDs (scroll down)

I got the strong impression that Abbado was much more appreciated in Europe than in the United States, at least judging by the numerous reviews of his concerts and recordings I've read over the years.

As far as I know only admins/moderators can delete threads. Why not contact one of them via the "report" button of the thread you want to have deleted?

The last time I attended one of his concerts was in the 1980s at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. One of the pieces he conducted was Ligeti's Ramifications, with the European Union Youth Orchestra. A wonderful performance.

It's all over the news here. I'm very sorry to hear this. He was one of my favourite Mahler conductors.

Well, if there's a pianist whose work I absolutely detest, it's the late Mr Gould. Horrendous. As for Richter, in my view he's best heard in post-Mozart works, though I don't think his Haydn and Mozart are that bad. His pre-Haydn stuff is best avoided like the plague

The only Bach interpretations I can stand these days are HIP, and secular only

I think this is one where I will pass. I just tend to prefer his non-solo work, as well as tending to think that his earlier work with Russian orchestras (on the Russian Classics series) is preferable. That's funny, I tend to prefer Richter's later recordings, especially his post-Bach solo work. Besides, I can't stand the generally poor sonics of the Russian recordings and the rough playing of many Russian orchestras of the time.

The Sviatoslav Richter box is now available from Amazon Germany for 57 euros plus change: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00GYHSYW4/ref=ox_ya_os_product That's quite cheap for 33 CDs. That disappeared pretty quickly! I immediately ordered it at that price; the order hasn't been cancelled (yet) even though the box is now indeed listed as unavailable.

Thanks for posting this. I'm in. It's already listed on Amazon Germany and Amazon U.K. with a March 21 release date: http://www.amazon.de/Miles-Fillmore-Davis-1970-Bootl/dp/B00HSCDX70/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1389999530&sr=1-1&keywords=miles+davis+fillmore and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Miles-The-Fillmore-Bootleg-Series/dp/B00HSCDX70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389999672&sr=8-1&keywords=B00HSCDX70

His Rachmaninov solo piano work is excellent in my view, and so is his Chopin. I also like his Beethoven sonatas for piano and violin with Itzhak Perlman and his Beethoven sonatas for piano and cello with Lynn Harrell, his Brahms sonatas for violin and piano, also with Itzhak Perlman, his "Russian Sonatas" set with Lynn Harrell, his Sibelius symphonies with the Philharmonia Orchestra and his Prokofiev piano concerti with Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra.

The original poster is looking for the CD, not the LP - see the thread title.

This was released on CD in Japan in 2009. Good luck with your search. http://www.amazon.co.jp/ウォーン・アウト-5-ウォーン・マーシュ/dp/B002TK1VCK/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1389920950&sr=1-1&keywords=warne+marsh+warne+out There are a few very expensive copies on Amazon U.K.: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=B002TK1VCK and Amazon France: http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=B002TK1VCK

Just saw that the Ashkenazy Rachmaninov box also includes the piano pieces for 4 and 6 hands and Rachmaninov's arrangements of other composers' works. I'm not keen on those. Then there's the question which versions of the piano concerti are preferable (excluding Ashkenazy's early Russian versions), the earlier ones with Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra or the later ones with Haitink and the Concertgebouw Orchestra (the ones in the box). I've never been able to compare them, but many people seem to prefer the earlier concerti with Previn, which I have.
