True, but I found/find that pretty odd, too

Me, too ... but then based on the Ellington album, I'm definitely curious!

Hey Birthday boy, go and listen to Elliot Carter's cello concerto!

Ouch!

beardy times ...

Thanks Eric, wasn't aware of this (the coffee being so much hotter than it usually is being served). But anyway, whenever I get a coffee to go, I take the first sips cautiously anway ... not matter if or if not that was a frivolous lawsuit, that tendency that caution (and indeed in many cases common sense) has to be taken care of by laws instead of letting people do some tiny bit of thinking. But then I guess we've long been directed and pushed into that kind of inability for independet existence ...

I agree ... still I find that "first time on CD" crap appalling and tiresome. But yeah, it's of course good to know something is still in the making, but frankly I've little hopes. Wouldn't one think the entire NoJo success could have been used to cross-finance some other stuff? Instead they laid off the few remaining artists they had in their shrinking roster and started doing what ... Willie Nelson and Wynton M? I never understood that, but I guess that's how the corporate world works - have success once, even if unexpected, absolutely need to duplicate that - or else fold. I never got the mono/stereo thing ... why would they do CD reissues of music in stereo when the stuff back then was listened to in mono? Because sometimes in the sixties and seventies everyone started believing stereo was better and when teh CD was introduced in the eighties, no one dared double-guessing that and going "back" to mono?

since there's no thread for album covers featuring animals with piercings:

Got way too much Horowitz to bother for the big sucker ... and frankly I think I already have more than I really need. The "really need" so far boils down to his Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt ... and some very, very good Schumann ... I might forget a few things, but I've got some 30+ CDs of this material, Columbia/Sony and RCA heritage - I guess the big sucker combines both, right? I've seen these two a while back and wanted to ask what people here might think of them: Contents listed here: http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/us/cat/4792690 I'm tempted, all I know are the Mozart sonatas and I think they're very good. And then there's this one: I read some rather lukewarm reviews on an ealier box collecting the Mozart concertos, but again, I am tempted! The DG set is in the 60€ range, the Erato in the 40-45€ so far ... the DG would have to go down a tiny bit in order to spare me from the custom n*zis, but I'm patient ... Finally, DG seems to start mining their Fricsay treasures, too .... Vol. 1 coming in July - some info here: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/ferenc-fricsay-complete-recordings-on-deutsche-grammophon-vol-1-orchestral-works/hnum/5121748 Don't know much of his recordings so far ... but I might be interested in the opera box if they follow up with one! Not sure I need this one, probably have all or most of the concerto recordings with Haskil, Martzy, Menuhin and Morini ... but no symphonic stuff of his at all yet.

So it does include non-BN material, too ... milking it!

All the best, Cuck!

Sorry to read this! Was hipped to this disc by brownie (man, I do owe you big deal for all the stuff you shared and made me aware of! ) And indeed that's some very good music in the Carmell Jones Select!

re: that outrageous spilled coffee lawsuit ... when it says "contents hot" and the coffee I get is only warm, can I sue?

Happy Birthday!

great news Chuck, both reissue and news-wise!

Bringing this over here ... sorry for intruding the Malaby thread, thought it was the regular "what live music"-thread! Oh, I've seen the New Orchestra ten years ago and they were effin' unbelievable! Sun Ra Arkesta about four or five years ago - and that must have been one of the greatest parties I've ever been to. So yeah!

demand better? yup! hope the Sun Ra Arkestra and said Barry Guy will deliver next week! www.taktlos.com But I'd surely give Malaby another chance if he were in town again!

my copy is on the way, too

Just out of curiosity: do you read German?

love Dix and Grosz!

Just found this: http://www.musik.uni-osnabrueck.de/veranstaltungen/tagungen/musik_bezieht_stellung_funktionalisierung_der_musik_im_1_weltkrieg/english_version.html Most of the articles in the book resulting from this 2012 conference are in German though: http://www.v-r.de/de/title-0-0/musik_bezieht_stellung-1011830/ Direct link to contents: http://www.v-r.de/pdf/titel_inhaltsverzeichnis/1011830/inhalt_978-3-8471-0206-9.pdf And to the introduction by M. J. Grant - which is in English (following a German foreword): http://www.v-r.de/pdf/titel_einleitung/1011830/einleitung_978-3-8471-0206-9.pdf

Great one indeed!

And thank YOU, too - I've got a used copy of the Zimmermann/Busoni disc in the mail (or so the vendor said, crossing fingers).

Can be found here: https://archive.org/details/ClarenceWilliamsBlueFive-TexasMoaner1924 I guess I first heard it on this LP (which is in my dad's collection): http://www.discogs.com/Louis-Armstrong-Sidney-Bechet-Louis-Armstrong-Sidney-Bechet-With-The-Clarence-Williams-Blue-Five/release/3315281 If you want it on CD, this here would be a great choice (but careful, that great series is addictive!): http://www.fremeaux.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=64&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=803&option=com_virtuemart It's also on the old 4CD set "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" - okay enough remastering I'd say, a good selection indeed, and very good notes in the rather extensive booklet.

oh yes, absolutely!
