Spelling names correctly would help with a search: it's Bylsma - or Bijlsma, that's the original Dutch spelling - and Brüggen and Mengelberg. The Swedish label is called Proprius.

I don't think so. As usual with Hip-O sets, this one is expensive, $79.98 for 4 discs.

Never heard of Opus Kura. Who did the transfers and the mastering? The EMI set sounds as if noise reduction was applied generously.

Which release exactly are you talking about? There have been several issues of these sessions over the years. Perhaps you could mention the CD catalogue number and the year of release (should be printed somewhere on the cover or CDs).

I like Bach's secular instrumental work, not so much his religious work. I used to prefer piano interpretations of his compositions for keyboard, but not anymore, it's all harpsichord here these days Here are some of my favourites: Concertos • Ton Koopman/Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra: Brandenburg Concertos Nos.1-6, BWV 1046-1051 – 2CD, Erato • Giovanni Antonini/Il Giardino Armonico: Brandenburg Concertos Nos.1-6, BWV 1046-1051 – 2CD, Teldec Orchestral Suites • Ton Koopman/Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra: Suites (Overtures), BWV 1066-1069 – 2CD, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi (1988 recording) • Ton Koopman/Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra: Suites (Overtures), BWV 1066-1069 – Erato (1997 recording) • Monica Huggett/Ensemble Sonnerie: Four Orchestral Suites for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen: Suites Nos.1, BWV 1066; 2, after BWV 1067 (reconstruction); 3, after BWV 1068 (reconstruction); 4, after BWV 1069 (reconstruction) – Avie Harpsichord Concertos • Trevor Pinnock/English Concert: Concertos for Harpsichord and Strings, BWV 1052-1054 – Archiv • Trevor Pinnock/English Concert: Concertos for Harpsichord and Strings, BWV 1055-1058 – Archiv Violin Concertos • Simon Standage with Trevor Pinnock/English Concert: Violin Concertos, BWV 1041-1043 – Archiv • Rachel Podger with Andrew Manze/Academy of Ancient Music: Solo and Double Violin Concertos, BWV 1041-1043, 1060 – Harmonia Mundi France • Rachel Podger/Brecon Baroque: Violin Concertos, BWV 1041-1042, after BWV 1055-1056 – Channel Classics Chamber Music • Barthold Kuijken, Sigiswald Kuijken, Wieland Kuijken, Robert Kohnen: A Musical Offering (Ein musikalisches Opfer), BWV 1079 – Deutsche Harmonia Mundi • Ensemble Sonnerie: A Musical Offering (Ein musikalisches Opfer), BWV 1079 – Virgin Solo Violin Music • Arthur Grumiaux: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001-1006 – 2CD, Philips • Rachel Podger: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001-1006 – 2CD, Channel Classics • Viktoria Mullova: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001-1006 – 2CD, Onyx Solo Cello Music • Pablo Casals: The 6 Cello Suites, BWV 1007-1012 – 2CD, EMI Références • Pierre Fournier: The 6 Cello Suites, BWV 1007-1012 – 2CD, DG • Jaap ter Linden: The 6 Cello Suites, BWV 1007-1012 – 2CD, Harmonia Mundi France • Pieter Wispelwey: The 6 Cello Suites, BWV 1007-1012 – 2CD, Channel Classics Solo Keyboard Music and Keyboard Concertos • Rinaldo Alessandrini, Claudio Rufa, Francesca Vicari/Concerto Italiano: The Art of Fugue (Die Kunst der Fuge), BWV 1080; Keyboard Concertos, BWV 1044, 1052, 1054 and 1057 – 2CD, Naïve Solo Keyboard Music • Kenneth Gilbert: The Art of Fugue (Die Kunst der Fuge), BWV 1080 – Archiv • Kenneth Gilbert: The Well-Tempered Clavier (Das wohltemperierte Clavier) Books 1 and 2, BWV 846-893 – 4CD, Archiv • Gustav Leonhardt: 6 English Suites, BWV 806-811 – 2CD, Virgin • Christophe Rousset: 6 English Suites, BWV 806-811 – 2CD, Ambroisie • Ton Koopman: 6 French Suites, BWV 812-817 – 2CD, Erato • Christophe Rousset: 6 French Suites, BWV 812-817 – 2CD, Ambroisie • Christophe Rousset: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 – l’Oiseau Lyre • Christophe Rousset: Partitas, BWV 825-830 – 2CD, l’Oiseau Lyre • Trevor Pinnock: Partitas, BWV 825-830 – 2CD, Hänssler Organ Music • Ton Koopman: Organ Works, Vol.4: Toccatas and Fugues, BWV 532, 538, 540, 564-566 – Teldec Das Alte Werk

Is it the performance/interpretation or the concerti themselves you don't like?

I think the Roulette's in error. Set 229 is the Basie Verve. Still a decent price though. You're right, the Roulette Studio Basie is set 149 and has 10 discs.

Actually, the title of the album uses the British spelling, Rumours. I have edited the thread title to make searches easier

In the UK most people are on the "pay as you earn" (PAYE) system. Income tax is deducted from your monthly or weekly pay before you get it and sent to the revenue by the employer. If you're self-employed you have to make an annual tax return. Same here, and you have to make an annual tax return before April 1 when you have more than one source of income, own a house and things like that. Most people here e-file nowadays.

Mingus' concert at the 1975 Hammerveld Jazz Festival, Roermond, Netherlands on Friday, August 1, 1975 is missing from that discography. I was there, it was great. Here's a picture (scroll down to about the middle of the linked page):

The full list can be found in post #199. I think these discs are cheaper when ordered from Hiroshi.

I found a copy on a European site. I am waiting for their confirmation. [edit] Got a copy.

I am looking for this Japanese CD in excellent or better condition: Presenting Gerry Mulligan - Nippon Phonogram EJD-3090 PayPal is my only payment option. Please PM me if you are selling it or know where I can get it.

Releases like the Brubeck box are not illegal in the European Union under its current copyright laws, but in the United States with its different copyright laws they are, and since this board is based in the United States Jim, as the owner of the board, can be held responsible for allowing links to releases that are unauthorized in the United States and that's a risk we don't want to take. And by the way, since the material in the Brubeck box is still copyrighted in the United States Concord (Fantasy) and Sony have every right to authorize it or otherwise as far as the United States is concerned.

No, there are lots of unauthorized releases available on Amazon. The Brubeck box has material from Fantasy (Concord) and Columbia. It was released by "Real Gone Jazz", another one of those grey European labels. Discussing releases like this is fine, but no linking please. Thanks.

It has been, here. Threads merged, so the link links to this thread

Thanks for letting us know. It's not what I was hoping for and I don't do downloads. Oh well. Fortunately, I do have the studio track on the Stan Getz and the Cool Sounds CD that Verve released in 2002

There were 3 Mulligan albums with his 1950s Mercury/EmArcy dates. I don't know if there's enough material to fill 3 CDs, but I've suggested a Select with those recordings to Mosaic.

I've also e-mailed Hip-O. Let's see what happens - or not...

Which DVD region?

As was mentioned in "'>post #2

Talking about Mr Woods, I was watching the Masters on cable TV here the last few days and the Dutch commentators were drooling all over him. Their sycophancy and hypocrisy is disgusting. Until last year he was praised from here to the moon, then he was condemned for all his antics and now he's suddenly a saint again. Mind you, I'm not talking about Tiger Woods' "adventures", though I must admit that I've never liked him; I've always found him an unpleasant and humourless character.

For some yes....but not all. Mnytime?? ...and wasn't that Pryan guy the one who ripped off several board members? Though some here didn't believe it, mnytime died years ago (got a message from his brother at the time) and yes, pryan ripped off others here.

If you're talking about the Never No Lament box versus the earlier Blanton-Webster Band set, I agree.

You're already hip to the 1943 Carnegie Hall concerts (January on Prestige, December on Storyville), I'm sure The Prestige Carnegie Hall Concerts CDs are no-noised to death. The sound is as dead as can be...
