The new Charles Ives box prompted me to listen to this set

and order the new cd version of an lp box I've had for 50 years

It should be delivered tomorrow.

As I said in the post, it is a cd version of an lp box they did 50 years ago. No duplication.

That picture fooled me into thinking it was some really arcane version from 50 years ago. Like the Beatles 78s in India. Only Ives 45s.

This is the lp set

I should pull that Ruggles album from the shelf & give it a spin. It's been a long while since I've heard it.

This arrived early evening, so it is ready for the morning.

Interesting to compare it to the vinyl set from 50 years back.

Looks intriguing 🧐 ....

Yes, but it is only for Goldberg completists. The two sacred pieces are not on the same level as J.S. Bach's pieces. If you are deeply into 18th century mid-German baroque church music, pretty much indispensable, if not, consider.

Gunter Wand with Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester. That's an absolute must-have !

Would love to hear Böhm's eight !
