WHOAH!

Yes indeed! His liners to the very good "The Art of Three" are another great read. Love how totally un-blasé he comes across ... yet obviously he's got his stuff together.

Joyeux Anniversaire, Claude!

Well, they really ought to start the Coltrane Bootleg Series ... there's such an abundance of material, that "Live Trane" box with all the botched info is merely the tip of the iceberg!

Doesn't sound like some odd late april fool's day joke ... source: http://pitchfork.com/news/54512-john-coltrane-1966-temple-university-concert-to-be-released-in-full-for-first-time/ (can some moderator please replace the "&" in the thread title with an exclamation mark? I only get error messages in trying to do so myself)

Played the Dexter set to the end a few days ago - lovely one! Now: da shit!

I've not even gotten started with the French ... no rush around here, this all needs so much time, even more so for newbies like me

I gave in ... which surely comes as no surprise to y'all

And that's the reason it was never reissued, to my knowledge (there should even be ample bonus material) I agree!

Can't blame Ricko if he's pooped after that ride! Looking forward very, very much to this set!

April 2 jokes? You guys sleep long

Okay, I feel safe now, with your additional info (that does not match what I hold in my hands) AND with the official Sony statements I dug up

I'd say yes ... I've fallen in love with a lot of what I've played so far - Chopin and even more so Brahms, the stuff with Heifetz/Feuermann (that's obviously duplicated between the two boxes) ... I've not listened to many of th huge number of concertos included, but the best of those I did play (Mozart's KV 491 with Krips) are glorious. What I didn't really like too much is the Beethoven sonatas (but there aren't that many) ... on the other hand, the Schubert is great (a late recording of D 960), and so is the Schumann. But I'm biased, I just love that guy, beyond his musical legacy that is, find his biography immensely impressing ... so you might be better off asking around some more. Also it's gone anyway, isn't it?

http://www.jaschaheifetz.com/news/ Case looks clear enough to me ... box turning up in high-brow stores, people there being aware of Sony re-pressing, official website announcing a limited re-run ... not that this means there are no Chinese boots, but I feel pretty safe mine isn't. it's also announced on the German Sony site here, as Feb 2014 release: http://klassik.sonymusic.de/Jascha-Heifetz/Jascha-Heifetz/P/2375141 And if you select Heifetz from the artist list on the US site, you get redirected to the official Heifetz site mentioned in the quote: http://www.sonymasterworks.com/artists?page=2 Case closed, I assume.

Got to dig them up ... or rather got to invest some serious listening time into Gullin's music some day - but can't do any of that right now, I'm afraid, no time at hand.

funny new avatar btw, yesterday I finally ordered the Foster, this thread being back on top reminded me of it

Because it's just re re-print, I guess ... seems they even went to Guiness Book of Records (that's a silliness I never understood). Coming up: pre-oder is 60.46 € at amazon.it: http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00J498SOI/ Also, the big Richter box is down to 53 € currently (and in stock): http://www.amazon.it/Solo-Recordings-33-Richter-Sviatoslav/dp/B00GYHSYW4/

Okay, so I thought ... I have about six of those Gullins here (Vols. 1-4 and one later volume, bought by chance when it was cheap ... this goes too far off-topic here, but how complete is that Dragon series, all in all? I guess having them all will be good enough for me, eventually ... I also just double checked: two Gullin discs in that recent series of Warner Japan/European releases, "Baritone Sax" and "Lars Gullin Swings".

Weird selection indeed, but I guess I can live on without the twor or three I don't have. What about those Gullins - aren't those sessions part of the Dragon series? I'm aware of some Atlantic albums but never really had a closer look at his discography and assumed those were sessions leased or something.

found this - maybe they don't know either, but hey ... http://www.jaschaheifetz.com/news/ Case looks clear enough to me ... box turning up in high-brow stores, people there being aware of Sony re-pressing, official website announcing a limited re-run ... not that this means there are no Chinese boots, but I feel pretty safe mine isn't.

This still bothers me ... how does your box look? Do the discs have all the Sony numbers and stuff included? Would they really bother to reproduce all that, down to every tiny detail (the black-in-black print around the fake-label on the top of the discs, for instance)? And would they find ways to be distributed by real stores and serious shops like JPC? or would that indeed be re-sellers and ebay?

I don't see that romanticism v. mysticism thing either ... I mean doesn't it boil down to love anyway? If mysticism or whatever religious or spiritual thing remains theoretical or ideological, I don't need it at all, I look at it and throw it in the garbage can (the one on top of which Dizzy wrote "A Night in Tunisia", I bet) ... when it's real, gets into life and down to earth, isn't love what it's all about? And doesn't love come in different shapes and colours? Whoever the "me and you" are, it's the essence. Why separate and divide when it belongs together? Does that sound like I'm a darn mysticist? Well, so be it

And they would be sold in local shops, too, via official channels? As for smells .... the book smells just like the Toscanini one does (and that one I'd bought locally here ... it had been standing around (sealed) in the shop for a few months before I did. So no, I guess it smells "new" but not like "just printed".
