Have you cleaned the lp? I mean, really deep cleaned it?

The Bach Brilliant box is also getting a do over.

I guess Brilliant will keep revising this set: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mozart-Complete-Various-Artists/dp/B00L2SQVVQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1408548693&sr=1-2&keywords=mozart+brilliant+box

Yeah. Mandatory purchase. May be the only jazz cd I'll buy this fall.

This qualifies as the strangest thread ever!

Wow, taking a classic session and making it fantastic!!!

At one time I had two. Now I just have one.

Now the preorder on amazon.co.uk is under 60 pounds.

All three discs are fantastic. This and the live date on NoBusiness are among my favorite releases this year.

Was tempted, but there are other boxes that call my attention. I have his Bartok recordings on Audite -- they are excellent.

I think he is 85.

I just see it as a build it up/tear it down thing in journalism. Not very intelligent writing.

Sony is issuing a complete Pierre Monteux box in December.

So........um, yeah, the Nina Simone article in the New Yorker was a good read. Ya'll should check it out......

In other news, this week's New Yorker has a good article on Nina Simone.

I just renewed my subscription to the New Yorker. I see this as an unfunny blip. Most of their articles are quite good, and it has been a quality magazine, especially since Tina Brown left the helm years ago.

Happy birthday!

Well, it at least has two versions of Rites and Firebird (mono and stereo) in it.

Silvestri is a good one. So is this, which is finally at its lowest price so far: $71 shipped from amazon uk. Or 45 pounds if you are in the UK. Lots of singular recordings here. How about this for non traditional?

A lot of these box sets go beyond the standard repertoire. A current example is the new Bernstein box. There are going to be a LOT of American and Latin American works that barely saw the light of cd. Quite a few of the EMI sets (Melos, Sargent, etc) deal with non standard material.

Perhaps. But the company would have to provide the program number, no?

Thanks for the details, much appreciated.

In what year he said that? After the death of his son? Did he, years later when his music had changed, keep that same opinion, or was there a retraction? We say a lot of dumb things. We also change our minds.
