For Hartmann ... not Metzmacher then. How about the Wergo set: http://www.wergo.de/shop/de_DE/3/show,93484.html

And speaking of Nazis, the newspaper clippings are absolutely intriguing ... the mix of naïvete and plain racism, of helplessness and malignity, is quite something!

Intriguing! (But why would there be a restaurant Munich in Copenhagen in 1946 and why would this place - a place that, sorry, sounds lots like nazi in 1946 - have negros playing jazz? Rather weird ... anyone knows the story of that restaurant?)

Yeah, with respect to spelling, the Limelight is best. My first CD used that cover, later on I got the VME with the original Mercury cover.

That sounds quite amazing, Chuck! Wish I had such memories!

Isn't "I was young and stupid" the opening line of the lyric on "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love." No, wait, it's "I was young and carefree."

No, he's cleaned up. So who did the sanitized version? Phil "cap'n" Woods?

Many thanks for that history lessen Mike - most interesting!

Yeah, I've heard that before (got Gould's last six - very good ... they'd be on a hammerklavier if performed by HIP-sters, I assume?). Will have to give this some thought, but I'll get her well-tempered cembalo, I think. (can a cembalo actually be well-tempered?)

quick off-topic question: what would she actually play on that Haydn box? 't says "period instruments", but ignunt me doesn't know what that means with respect to Haydn, sorry.

Will do!

Great news about Carter/Bradford and Tapscott, Jonathan! And please do go for the box with Daley!

r.i.p. - will give this one a spin to commemorate:

Based on this thread I got this one: Gave it three spins so far ... it's somewhat dark in general mood, I found at first, but it's slowly growing on me. Also got Horowitz' "Great Sonatas" 10CD box, which has an overall 32 Scarlatti sonatas - great as well, if you want some piano! But I guess I'll look for more Hantaï now ... and if I stuble over it, the Weissenberg LP.

Two long sets, first over fifty minutes, second something over half an hour ... definitely great to see an official release of this! Pi is my kind of label!

Well Lonski, Couwski and Flurinski call him thusly, too - good 'nuff for me

Anyone needs some aspirin maybe?

Hey Wes! Where you been? Went missing south of the border?

Washed my first USB stick once (back in the days when a 256MB one cost as much as a 6 or 7 disc Mosaic box - remember the days?) - kept working though.

wast lords? good one, for sure!

So including it in a studio albums box is quite correct ... I still wish they'd fill up the discs with more bonus material (subjunctively put since I don't think there's much of a chance). The box won't be needed here, though official versions of "Indigos" and "A Drum" would be nice, and I'm sure "Bal Masque" can be done better than Collectables did it ... if the Schaap goof on "Such Sweet Thunder" would also be fixed ... I guess I might be in then, but still, I've got each of these albums, some even twice (and I think a used music store had the old French edition of "Such Sweet Thunder" there for ages, I might try my luck).

That's because Mr. Wilburn will redo the drum-parts, I've heard.
