Charity Shop Trawl

[cloughie]

Might be worth popping back for if it's in your locale - it's a great set, as is the Dutoit, of course

What's the charity shop, second-hand, marchee des pousses in your part of France?

What's the charity shop, second-hand, marchee des pousses in your part of France?

There are no charity shops in the British sense. But second-hand - yes, they exist. In Béziers there was excellent one where I found a fabulous Mahler 5th with Mackerars/RLPO for 1 euro. In Montpellier there is Gibert & Joseph which is very good - a climb of steps up to the 4th floor for the CD/record section! Also in MTP - O-cd (second-hand) and next to the Cinéma Diagonal - a brilliant shop for CDs and vinyls (don't remember the name) - classical, jazz - etc, etc... got a few bargains there over the years. As for the flea markets/car boots - not much in the way of decent music of any sort. That's all I can say about it.

Did rather well yesterday - Hogwood Haydn Creation, Hogwood Mozart Coronation Mass + Vesperae, Britten`s Decca set of the Bach St John Passion, Naxos Bach Motets disc, Elgar Cathedral Music on Hyperion, plus a random Naxos collection of Drottningholm music whose booklet notes are Swedish only. Princely sum of £3....

I went to the Barbican yesterday to book some tickets and went on to St Giles Cripplegate. They have a splendid book sale every couple of months, and their good quality classical LPs are usually worth investigating:-

Mozart Concertos 17 & 18 Schiff/Vegh
Mozart Concertos 20 & 21 Gulda / Abbado
Mozart Piano Sonatas Katchen ( Mono)
Schumann and Grieg Piano Concertos Anda / Kubelik

Plus an interesting biography of William Russell Wallace, total £13

Whoops! Just forgot, Vivaldi Flute Concertos -Linde

These two alone are worth it - I don't know the other recordings.

I've always liked Katchen and his Beethoven PCs are very good SDD228 if my memory serves.
