couple other cheapo Fauré boxes around: http://www.amazon.de/Kammermusik-Various/dp/B0040UEIA4/ (no idea how it compares to the Brilliant, got parts of it elsewhere) http://www.amazon.de/S%C3%A4mtl-Kammermusik-mit-Klavier-Capu%C3%A7on/dp/B0057JWUVG/ (got this one, but it's been a while since I gave any of it a spin) and these are very good, I find:

Recently got hold of both the Marge disc ('twas OOP when I bought it a few months ago, now it's re-stocked again!) and the one depicted in the first post of this thread ... both very enjoyable albums!

This one is even cheaper at the UK amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BM9I028/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE Strange collection, this one. have you heard any of it?

coming up - no idea who really needs this one though ... http://www.amazon.de/Vladimir-Horowitz-Live-Carnegie-Hall/dp/B00BT70J6S/ Also this one here, already out, wasn't aware of it ... pioneering work, it seems, no idea how well it holds up: http://www.amazon.de/Musik-Alten-St%C3%A4dten-Residenzen-Harnoncourt/dp/B00BM9I028/

    Yes indeed! Nice box, that one! I'm hesitant about needing the Vivarte box, really, but I did cave in now.

Kinda crazy that he's asking more for CD-Rs than for Vinyl! But there0s some good stuff there, Open Sky, too!

Vivarte Collection (60 CD + 250p booklet) for EUR 48,90 on amazon.fr currently I really had no intention to buy this, believe me, but ...

goin' home baby ... r.i.p. Ben Tucker I've loved this tune almost the day I discovered jazz ... my dad has a few Herbie Mann LPs, and I got this one as one of my first twent or so jazz discs and still enjoy it every once in a while -- though I did never really follow on Mann that much ... but I was always delighted to see Ben Tucker in the credits on the rare occasions he turns up.

never - not sure if I'm missing something, but I can't be bothered to find out

Not missed here - lenghty obits in the major dailys. Don't know any of his music yet though.

head and barisax, but well ...

Yep ... the two from Prestige (or whatever it was, remember I'm of the OJCCD generation) are both substantially better.

Just read the long Jesse Friedman piece from the Village Voice ... and now this - damn.

Great! Hope you all will have a great time recording. Looking forward an awful lot!

Crossing my fingers! Contributing more than I ever did on any such project ... hope it'll get there in time!

Huh? Someone gone unhinged?

Damn! Very sad.

Some info here: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=975172 Edit: full tracklist here: http://www.emiclassics.com/release/3255805,5099990377129/dame-janet-baker-janet-baker--the-great-emi-recordings

I have them all. seems most of us do, so need to look

And I'm flabbergasted about what I get to read about the Porter songbook here ... I mean, Ella is as good as it gets and the songs are superior to most any of the ones on the other songbook (Gershwin exempted). Sure, the arrangements could be better, but I would never want to be without it!

Modern? Amongst others and in no particular order: Walter Benjamin, Franz Kafka, John Dos Passos, Sidney Bechet, Igor Stravinsky, Anton Webern, Arnold Schönberg, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Kurt Schwitters, Jean Arp, Constantin Brancusi, Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, André Breton, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, Le Corbusier, Alberto Giacometti, Karl Kraus, Lyonel Feiningen, Johannes Itten, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Peter Szondi, Brassaï, Robert Walser, Joseph Roth, Alfred Döblin. Not many women in this list, I'm afraid ... there must be some that deserve inclusion though, I'm sure. First to come to mind are Anna Achmatova, Rose Ausländer and Lou Andreas-Salomé

Yep, greatest Mosaic (or Revenant or whathavyou) box never to happen.
