I'm particularly looking forward to hearing the Brahms. Her Brahms is terrific .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xybert Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Been on an Ahmad Jamal kick lately. Previously only had Live at the Pershing which i always loved for Poinciana but wasn't really feeling the rest. Recently, however, the penny dropped... Picked up: - Ahmad's Blues - Awakening - Tranquility/Outertimeinnerspace Impulse! twofer - Trio & Quintet Recordings with Ray Crawford (really nice two disc set on el/Cherry Red which collects what it says on the box. The trio stuff is great but the quintet stuff is a bit of a surprise gem for me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It arrived, but was defective and I've already packed it up to return tomorrow. I very much liked disc 1, which was done in a lively style, but track #8 consisted of static (though all others were fine). That pissed me off so much that I couldn't form serious impressions of discs 2 and 3 (though I listened). My erudition in the area of harpsichord recordings is insufficient to make significant recommendations. I definitely enjoy Hantai's Goldbergs (older release on Opus 111), and he's long been well-regarded. The reviews I've read of his Scarlatti are excellent. I will almost certainly order a replacement set. In purely economic terms, the big complete box by Scott Ross (34 discs for $54 + S/H from Amazon sellers) has a good reputation and is a far better deal than $22 + S/H for this one. But I avoid mega-boxes (most of the discs never get played), and 34 CDs is serious overkill for me in this repertory. Edited January 2, 2017 by T.D.

I would expect good things from Hantai's Scarlatti .... in case your replacement order should arrive in good shape I would appreciate a further resume nevertheless ....

T.D. Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Will do, but it will take a while, possibly 2 weeks or so. In the meantime, I see that you heard the Goldbergs on Opus 111. Hope you enjoyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've been on my most successful music buying moratorium since age 14; my last purchase was a pre-order of REM's OOT deluxe in early October. However, just a bit ago, I ran into a thread over on SHF addressing VU's 45th anniversary eponymous release versus The Matrix Tapes box. I have the first and thought the latter would remain out of reach financially after going OOP in 2015 (Amazon lists it new @ $89). Yet, after a poster from Sweden remarked on recent lower prices, I searched ebay and - to my astonishment - found new sets selling from high volume, reputable dealers at around $40USD. Sooooo, I executed the fastest series of left mouse clicks my motor skills could accomodate. Matrix Regret no more! WOOT! http://www.ebay.com/itm/VELVET-UNDERGROUND-COMPLETE-MATRIX-TAPES-RECORDED-1969-4-CD-SET/291935606975?_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40804%26meid%3Da235340ba0eb41a9a1c7aa5dec9aa96e%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D311498276270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Anna Högberg Attack on CD. I was lucky to find a sealed copy on Discogs that wasn't there when I checked earlier this month. The CD seemed to have sold out all over the internet with only vinyl still available. Why do people still tolerate such an inadequate medium? This Swedish seller, however, seems to have more sealed copies available. https://www.discogs.com/Anna-Högberg-Attack-Anna-Högberg-Attack/release/8175155?utm_campaign=order-confirmation-buyer&utm_medium=email&utm_source=transactional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
