Domenico Scarlatti Complete Keyboard Music - Scott Ross, harpsichord - 34CDs - €47 at amazon.es: http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B0009MWAVQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A1AT7YVPFBWXBL I have this set and love it.

My favorite is Burnt Weeny Sandwich which for some reason isn't listed in the first dozen. it's there: http://www.amazon.com/Burnt-Weeny-Sandwich-Frank-Zappa/dp/B008BDZOZ4/ref=pd_sim_m_3 , one of my favorite FZ albums too. However, the '95 edition sounds just fine to me.

Could have been the Actuel Festival in October 1969 in Amougies: http://wiki.killuglyradio.com/wiki/Actuel_Festival

Where???.....I don't see any Uncle Meat or any of the titles available for pre order on Amazon. Uncle Meat: http://www.amazon.com/Uncle-Meat-Frank-Zappa/dp/B008BDZP08/ Hot Rats: http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Rats-Frank-Zappa/dp/B008BDZP3K/ Chuck, could you please elaborate a bit on the intended purpose of the meeting? Was there any particular agenda?

Got this set and listened to the Mussorgsky / Prokofiev CD. The performances are very muscular and exciting. The recording quality is quite harsh particularly the brass. The sound has been quite noticeably no-noised.

Uncharacteristically, in the Hot Rats case this is more or less clear - the master to be used for the new CD reissue is the one that was prepared for the Classic Records Vynil reissue from 2009: http://classicrecords.com/item.cfm?item=RS%206356-150G . I have not heard it, but the reviews are very positive, and it is apparently indeed very close to the original 1969 LP mix and sound.

This one I have, great piece.

The first batch of reissues is available for preorder on amazon. I will order Hot Rats and Uncle Meat - probably two albums most butchered by the old remastering.

Upcoming Glenn Gould Complete Bach. 44 CDs / DVDs for €74 as a preorder from amazon.it. I have some of it, but definitely not all. http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0086WQNZ0

Thanks, gentlemen. I will probably go for Anda / Fricsay - it's cheap and I have no familiarity with Anda at all, while I have heard some recordings by both Pollini and Kocsis. I have Fricsay conducting Kodaly (on DG as well) - love it. Was browsing some stuff on Bartok... stumbled upon a picture of him... does not he look like Robert Fripp?

Any comments on Richter on Teldec set: http://www.amazon.com/The-Teldec-Recordings-Concertos-Concerto/dp/B006W7SVQ0/ ?

3rd piano concerto is beautiful. Written when Bartok was already terminally ill. I have Argerich / OSM / Dutoit version. Interestingly, Frank Zappa is on record saying this is one of the mot beautiful pieces of music, and he even performed a nice little rearrangement of the 3rd piano concerto intro during the 1988 tour. Still have to hear the first two piano concertos. Recommendations are welcome.

Can't say about the solo violin sonata, but the resurgence of this thread peaked my interest to listen to the Zoltan Kocsis solo piano compilation on Philips that I have for ages and probably never even listened . Great stuff! Might go for the complete solo piano set.

I guess they were intending to have the booklet 600 pages long.

Herbert Kegel 15-CD box for €28 at amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00005TZJS/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF . Just ordered me a copy.
