Unfortunately this happened/-s with a number of (over?)ambitious record labels ....

Judging from their facebook page everything is okay and they just finished recording another CD ...

Next disc in the player:

That's one of the most beautifully played and conceived cello CDs ever!!! Definitely out of print. Not one used copy to be found anywhere. (I'm glad I have one, and bought a second one for a cello playing friend.)

Yeah, that's a killer ... beautiful recording.

NP: Hector Berlioz, Les nuits d'ete

Susan Graham; Orchestra of the Royal Opera House

Enjoy this well enough, although I wouldn't mind finding a recording where the voice and orchestra are a little more well balanced. As in, if you're going to do this with orchestra, let's hear it! ... Or perhaps simply piano accompaniment.

George Onslow, String Quartets

Quatour Ruggieri

71tsWWY8G6L._SX425_.jpg

Specifically, three of his early quartets. I really enjoy these and would like to hear more Onslow. He apparently composed for quartet (and I'd guess quintet) so that the first violinist would be a featured soloist above the others, more so than was typical of the period at least. Almost like mini-concertos. Other than that, I'm unfamiliar with his broader output (which was ample, 30-odd quartets and a similar number of quintets).

Bruckner, Symphony No. 9

Barenboim, Staatskapelle Berlin

713iCwmPuHL._SX425_.jpg

Recorded live in Berlin, 2010. Don't know if they recorded the recent cycle at Carnegie; be a treat if they did. I only saw a couple of reviews of that cycle in the NYT -- one of the opening concert, I believe, that was quite enthusiastic, and another that surveyed several (but not all) of the performances in a somewhat scattershot manner. Kind of along the lines of, 'well, he's an acquired taste.' ... Anyways, I'm just diving into this set now, beginning at with the last.
