Mine was a birthday present, supposedly bought in a Frankfurt boutique.

I have one of these - all are unique, different records ..... I'm glad the music on mine doesn't interest me! A challenge for any turntable ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- now playing:

There is a recording of the piano concerto on the Hyperion label, but there is no remark in the booklet that Hamelin used a pedal piano. https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/notes/66717-B.pdf The only solo works recorded on a pedal piano, AFAIK, two preludes, are on this disc: - pédalier instruments in playing conditions are very rare, and recordings on them all the more so. There is an article in German by Martin Schmeding giving a good overview: http://www.gdo.de/fileadmin/gdo/pdfs/AO-1003-Schmeding.pdf

I'll give it a listen.

Cantine San Silvestro SABBIE, ROERO ARNEIS DOCG 2017

Early "Clavier"-Concertos from a Munuscript now preserved in a Slovenian library. Great notes by an expert from Austria: The Austrain composers developped their concertos independentzly from German traditions, had no idea of the Bach family or Haendel concertos.

I found Maltempo to be an excellent technically accomplished painist - which one must be to play Alkan, who must have been a frightening pianist, technically, for his contemporaries. Alkan's music must be performed by an equally comptetent pianist and should be taken in small doses. Does the box include Maltempo's recording on a historical piano? That one is stunning for the sound effects. http://www.vincenzomaltempo.com/en/

Judging from the tracklist and samples it is indeed a compilation from various Prestige sessions: https://www.amazon.de/Great-Summit-Kenny-Burrell/dp/B07VXDW681/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=kenny+burrell+great+summit&qid=1566483139&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Weren't the reference tape copies RVG made for Coltrane always mono? What RVG said about mono vs. stereo mixes in his notes for the SACD reissue of the session with Hartman stopped me shedding tears about lost stereo mixes. Lots of hype about stereo, IMHO.

Yesterday: Still contemplating what to take with me for listening in the car ...

Maybe conducting turned him on?

I suspect a translator's inaccuracy. If the German original reads "männlich" it's not necessarily a reference to genitals visible under garments. It tells more about Ploderer than about Webern. Who cares, anyway? With pants as baggy as they were back then, who would get a hint? See this photo of Webern and Schönberg:

That Charlie Johnson looks tempting ..... Now playing:

Very nice! That must be shot from a window in an upper floor of the city hall. The winery we visited had its stand round the corner on the left. You stayed in Wiesbaden for a while?

Yes. As I said, DHM changed distributors several times before being distributed and then acquired by BMG, who had bought RCA before and is the mother company behind the SONY/BMG enterprise. Don't know about the contents of these boxes as I had all the original CDs in them that I wanted. I suspect the SEON box includes material from the beginning of his recording career; SEON became part of the BMG universe independently of DHM, but the large companies of course use material of any of the labels they assembled over the years. Can't find a track list of the SEON box right now, but I think it was only SEON recordings and no later stuff. But these three box sets reissue onyl material from DHM or the Vivarte series and have no overlap:

I didn't know this also was on LP. It's beautiful music, anyway. The first CD edition had the cover you pictured but was on deutsche harmonia mundi - that label changed distributors several times until it finally landed under SONY's reign.

The Servais cello is a beautiful sounding instrument. Due to fact that these works are judged as inferior by the classical repertoire police the CD didn't get that much attention at the time of its release. Now it's a collector's item. The above is not the original cover. It's included in the SONY box set:

Not all of Atlantic's tapes were stored at the warehouse that was destroyed by fire, many were in their New York facilities for various reasons, like surveying them for future releases.

I saw a release date of September 20 for Germany.
