Heita! The Remy disc of the 1720 suites is excellent indeed! What do you think of the recording Eva Maria Pollerus has made of the 1736 Muffat edition (including embellishments by one of Händel's contemporaries and competitors) of them? Just starting to check out some more of Händel's chamber music, as you've certainly noticed. Will get the Christie disc of violin sonatas eventually, to complement the Manze/Egarr one (which I enjoyed on first - and so far only - listen). Also have this one on the way:

and here's the list of concerts included in the box that amazon provides - guess it's all those "previously unissued works" that aren't part of the complete jackets box, the rest is ... but as I said, I never had a closer look so far: DISC 1 April 25, 1943, Carnegie Hall, (live) DISC 2/3 January 17, 1949, Carnegie Hall, (live) includes 11 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 4/5 February 21, 1949, Carnegie Hall, (live) previously unreleased except for 1 work DISC 6/7 March 20, 1950, Carnegie Hall, (live) includes 13 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 8/9 March 5, 1951, Carnegie Hall, (live) DISC 10/11 April 23, 1951, Carnegie Hall, (live) - includes 4 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 12 January 12, 1953, Carnegie Hall, (live) previously unreleased DISC 13/14 February 25, 1953, Carnegie Hall, (live) includes 3 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 15/16 May 9, 1965, Carnegie Hall, (live) DISC 17/18 April 17, 1966, Carnegie Hall, (live) includes 6 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 19/20 November 27, 1966, Carnegie Hall, (live) includes 8 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 21/22 December 10, 1966, Carnegie Hall, (live) includes 8 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 23/24 November 26, 1967, Carnegie Hall, (live) includes 14 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 25 January 2, 1968, Carnegie Hall, (live, invited audience) - previously unreleased DISC 26 February 1, 1968, Carnegie Hall, (live, invited audience) DISC 27/28 November 24, 1968, Carnegie Hall, (live) - previously unreleased DISC 29/30 December 15, 1968, Carnegie Hall, (live) - includes 5 previously unreleased recorded works DISC 31/32 November 16, 1975, Carnegie Hall, (live) DISC 33/34 November 23, 1975, Carnegie Hall, (live) - previously unreleased except for 1 work DISC 35/36 May 18, 1976, Carnegie Hall, (live) DISC 37 January 8, 1978, Carnegie Hall, (live) DISC 38 Horowitz' "Private Collection" of Carnegie Hall live recordings 1945-1946 Compilation DISC 39 Horowitz' "Private Collection" 1947 Compilation DISC 40 Horowit' "Private Collection" 1948 Compilation DISC 41 Horowitz' "Private Collection" 1949-1960 Compilation Bonus-DVD January 2 and February 1, 1968: Horowitz on Television previously unreleased

I need to have a closer look some day - but for instance, on the Sony 3CD Chopin set, there's plenty that's taken from Carnegie Hall, so I wouldn't be surprised (not that it bothers me at all).

I know - I wonder though if those that are are all duplicated on the Carnegie Hall box ... guess not necessarily, but as I said, I never really felt about comparing my various smaller sets with the Carnegie box.

Yet there's plenty of original-album-released stuff (Chopin, for instance, Scriabin, too, I think) that was taken from Carnegie Hall concerts ... I've never even attempted to figure it all out, have plenty of smaller sets (too much to ever have considered the complete box, which would probably be overkill for me) plus the Carnegie box (which is overkill as well, I guess, but it was so cheap ... )

recently listened to this one again (no, I don't own a physical copy): very good, I found - and some outstanding tenor playing!

How do the live boxes (Carnegie Hall and the new upcoming one) compare to the Original Jacket box? Is all of it duplicated in the jackets box? I'd be surprised if yes, but I have no idea. Here's a site with an exhaustive listing of recordings: http://vladimirhorowitz.hostzi.com/

@Moms: any specific recommendations for Spányi in BIS? Presto is running a special offer for another few days and one of the reasons I don't have a single disc there is the shear amount of stuff and that I have no clue what might be especially worthwhile (and yeah, I'm hesitant in this case to go for the long run, it's really a lot of music of which I so far have not got a particularly good idea, so I wouldn't even know if getting the whole shebang would make sense on the long run or not). http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/promotion/bis?k=11&w=Miklós+Spányi+-+C+P+E+Bach Edited to add: I'm not too big on the clavichord so far ... rather have harpsichord or fortepiano recommendations thus, or a mix.

someone should tell him that thing about tone and music ...

Happy Birthday!

Thing is you'll get a re-fund for the disc, but none for their nor for your own shipping costs. So it's mostly not even worth bothering as it'll just even out ... one-star-feedback is the consequence, but it will take many of those to bring down those vendor's 96-97% ratings to less than 95% (which is where I get cautious).

found a cover here: (they release fine music, but they should work on their typography) https://www.discovery-records.com/product-ST83227/art-pepper-quartet/live-at-fat-tuesday's-deluxe-digipackandhellip;.htm

I think though that they're quite straightforward about it (though in my case it was a disc listed as "Audio CD" with no further comment, bought via one of those secondary vendors - but I guess it would have been the same had I ordered from Amazon themselves). Wasn't aware of New World doing the same though - I actually would still love to get the two Cecil Taylor albums, only have copies once provided by a friend. But replacing CDRs with CDRs would be a drag.

All the very best, Lon!

I've bought at least one CD-R from Concord/Fantasy as well, and most recently one by Mode/V.S.O.P. - neither time it was properly described, both times bought via one of those large vendors using amazon marketplace. But who's the source of this I wonder? Is it really the label itself?

no progress on Brautigam (or Schornsheim) yet, but I played these two for the first time yesterday and enjoyed both: Bilson does Hob XVI:50, 43, 39, 20 and 40 (in that order), Cerasi offers Hob XVI:48 and 4 on fortepiano (a Schantz as well, different spelling on the cover), then Hob XIV:19 on a clavichord, and finally Hob XIV:42 and the Andante and Variations in f minor Hob XVII:6 again on fortepiano.

Sounds enticing! I've grown so vary of those vendors (selling non-declared CDRs, wrongly described/graded used items, not reimburseming properly even if the error's theirs ...) - but looks like the best option in this case, alas. Hip-O being Universal-owned one would expect them to have proper distribution though ...

anyone besides medjuck heard this by now? and anyone found a European source with acceptable price?

Not overlooked, as all of 13 people (including organisers) went to his last Zurich gig. Seriously: very good musician, most certainly overlooked indeed!

The J.J. is very dear to me, too! The Teddy Wilson also crossed my mind. The Art Hodes ... I still hope to score it some day (get in touch if you have one to give away!) Missed the "Piano Moods", but the "Master Jazz Piano" one is quite nice, too.

since Niko forgot to mention him (): Jacques Pelzer and big yes on Günter Kronberg! let me also throw in Jan "Ptaszyn" Wroblewski - while I don't care for most eastern european fusion or jazz-rock, he did some great things! also, looking elsewhere ... might be s a stretch to mention Dudu Pukwana, but a few other ZA guys like Lulu Masilela, Barney Rachabane, Basil Coetzee, Robbie Jansen, Winston "Mankunku" Ngozi, Ntemi Piliso or Kippie Moeketsi definitely deserve mention. Also the sadly deceased Zim Ngqawana. Some of them may still be well known in ZA, but not far beyond that and beyond a small fan base. But they all have their say on the instrument. Piliso is kind of a Hodges-like figure, while Kippie was the one introducing modern sounds into ZA jazz, alongside Dollar Brand. Hard to find much by any of them, alas.

This thread is weird.

took me a while (had some computer issues to fix before I could check any audio files) ... now it's there, I guess you'll find it (not sure if a link would be okay or not, it's not a "bootleg", no one earns a penny from it, but still ...)

I think this is the CPE Bach disc I've enjoyed most so far: here's an annoyingly worded laudatory blurb from ClassicsToday (10/10 rating): source: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=40063
