Happy birthday, Conrad!

First listen tonight ... first half is glorious, after that I thought it meandered a bit, but the long twenty minute bonus jam is definitely great to have! Love the Band of Gypsys!

Oh, sure, I'm one of those who oughtn't say "never", too ... but Cliburn so far is of fairly limited interest to me. There are other things where I'm willing to shelve out some money right now ... still want that Clifford Curzon box, and loads of opera

Got to dig up the Duffy's material, too ... Now playing disc one of this new set:

you quoted me before I cleaned up my post ... freaked up there, sorry! shipping from amazon.es to Switzerland is 7€ for one or more articles - anyway, I won't go for the Cliburn box anyway, got plenty of recordings of the piano repertoire by now and am generally not on the lookout for more big boxes ...

Van Cliburn box for 30€ from amazon.es http://www.amazon.es/Van-Cliburn-Complete-Album-Collection/dp/B009EJSUBY/

so, when is soon? and could it be too soon, no matter when?

yes, very nice indeed!

this thread is smug... but I've been recently called smug, so I might not have a grasp of its subject ...

Bo Derek Bai Ling Danny Boyle

that's a fun one!

Another one coming up, no details yet: http://www.amazon.de/Archiv-Produktion-1947-2013-Ltd-ed-Harnoncourt/dp/B00BCSBU4E/

Details on the EMI box (doesn't look that enticing to me): http://www.amazon.fr/EMI-Eminence-Collection-Various/dp/B00APPSH9G/

Not many details given in the box: disc four info, page 78 of the box/book: it's a splendid set, btw, I enjoy having it a lot, even though I've already had most of the music in other editions!

well, there seems to be that other po' fella who was gulped in his sleep never to be burped out again ... guess golf playin' folk just ain't down to earth 'nuff

sorry, my smartphone didn't show me the latest post, it seems (or rather, I don't know where to see if I'm viewing the latest page). so, next one: Carlo Azeglio Ciampi Gigi Campi Beniamino Gigli

Ronnie Wood Woody Herman Hermione

I see your point and can endorse it for sure! It's just that with Coltrane Reference, the chronology half (documenting gigs etc) was much more intriguing to me than the actual discography half of the book. But of course I could learn some from that part, too ... some of the releases are messy (the notorius Fantasy box is the worst), and some of the chopped up late session were interesting to read up, too. The bad thing is just that any printed discography will be outdated as soon as it's fixed on paper ... I guess it would be cool to put the entire discography online somewhere. If they don't want to give it away for free, put a coupon into the book or something like that ... But regardless, it's a huge achievment (and I will buy a second edition, too, call me crazy! I went for the first a year or so ago, when the paperback was still unsure). So you're doing a Tjader book? A discography? Anyway, that's cool! And if the Gryce book really comes out again, I won't miss it this time!

into disc three now - some magnificient stuff here!
