Charity Shop Trawl

[Stanfordian]

Looks a great bargain to me, maybe even the Charity Trawl low price of the year unless some other quality bargain hunter can better it!

You lucky so and so! No change here, it's still The Nolans, James Last and Bobby Crush in my local charity shops.

...and no doubt the ubiquious Phillips 'Introducing the Mozart Edition'.

[silvestrione]

Catalogue d'Oiseaux Messiaen, Peter Hill, Regis, 3 CDs selotaped, 6.99. Almost expensive? Local Oxfam, who also had Beethoven Symphonies, Dresden cycle, Blomstedt: I hesitated on that one: will it still be there tomorrow? 5.99, I think.

One day, if I'm ever wealthy enough, I'm going to buy every copy of that bloody disc and dispose of them! I must have come across 100's of them on my travels. It's always the same - oh good - a Philips disc! On no! Not that AGAIN. My local PDSA has 4 of the so and sos! £2.00 a pop.

Bartok: The miraculous mandarin (complete) and Music for SPC
Detroit Symphony/Dorati

20p in the local shop of the charity we raised money for at our carol concert last night.
I spotted it in a very small pile of CDs that was on the counter as I handed over the collection pots.
Condition looks OK; I imagine (and hope) that the performances are too.

I've had that disc for many years: an excellent performance of both works.

Maybe also Nigel Kennedy's Four Seasons, plus the Three Tenors?

Oddly enough, a friend asked me to pick up Nig's Four Seasons cd whereupon I couldn't find one for love nor money!

I think I saw a copy in Camborne last week for 25p but its a long way from Edinburgh!

Old Gramophone cover discs and BBCMM of the most boring kind being charged a few quid for .

Today in the fetid armpit of the East Midlands that is Mansfield, I picked up:

Bruno Walter - Mahler: The Great Symphonies

The box is a bit battered/cracked and there is no booklet (was there ever a booklet with this box?). One of the five discs (Symphony 5) looks like it might jump but for £2.49, I thought I'd risk it, especially as I don't own/have never heard Walter's stereo 9th.

So you like Mansfield then Conchis. In Falmouth last week I picked up a few at 3 for £1 including Ultima doubles of Boccherini CCs and Albinoni Concerti Op10.

It's a surprising place - a couple of years back I picked up an incredible haul at one of the shops (detailed above somehwere), yet it's the last place you'd expect to find rich pickings!

Btw: the suspect disc in the Mahler set turned out to be OK. So: a wise purchase!

The 1947 Mahler 5 is a great performance .
