Nearly as good as your Selby date! All I could manage in Camborne yesterday was Rattle’s Porgy and Bess highlights for 50p.

Indeed! The Orfeo....is the 2002 iteration with the libretto given on an 'enhanced' CD ( remember them?). Reading amazon reviews, if you insert it into your computer, you are requested to permit UMG access to your computer, which seems very wrong to me. Fortunately, I already have another version with a booklet/libretto.

Beethoven - Grosse Fugue and PC 5 - Australian Chamber Orchestra/Kovacevich (Penguin Guide Rosette recording) - 49p

Are you sure? In the 2012 Penguin Guide Kovacevich LSO/Davis gets the rosette. Though, Australian Chamber Orchestra/Kovacevich gets three stars and a very positive review.

I got Fleisher/Szell in Beethoven PC5 for 50p a few weeks ago, but haven't listened to it yet; the charity shop bargains are stacking up!

As they do, together with all the other big boxes!

It got a Rosette when it was first released but 'lost' the Rosette in subsequent editions. See my separate thread on 'losing' a PG Rosette.

Lunch in Nottingham yielded the following haul:

Verdi - Un Ballo in Maschera - Domingto/Barstow/VPO/Karajan
Rossini - Il Barbiere Di Siviglia - Allen/Baltsa/ASMF/Marriner
Puccini - Turandot - Domingo/Ricciarelli/VPO/Karajan

All new and still in shrink-wrap: the Barbiere even had its original price sticker (£43.99) from Virgin on the cover.

£8.00 for the lot. :)

Good stuff: sham about those Classic FM iterations, though - I really hate that station!

And presumably that's the unremastered version of Graceland, which people rate more highly than the 'upgrade.'

Not quite a charity shop ....

The local dump has now opened a shop on site. While dropping off a load of junk today I thought I'd take a few items over (plastic magazine holders) to see if there'd be any interest. At least they were taken politely - even if they will end up back in one of the very large bins.

I spotted some CDs on the way out - definitely not trash. Priced at one for 50p, three for £1, so I rescued:

Dvorak: String Quartets, Pavel Haas Quartet, Supraphon
Elgar: Piano Quintet, String Quartet, Piers Lane and the Goldner SQ, Hyperion
Schumann: - Three String Quartets, Doric Quartet, Chandos.

The guy I spoke to said that sometimes they get hundreds or even thousands passing through.

I came across something of an oddity this morning while sorting through the DVDs in the charity shop where I help out - a 1939 colour production of the Mikado starring Kenny Baker ('American radio star'), Jean Colin, Sydney Granville and Martyn Green, with the LS0 conducted by Geoffrey Toye. The run time is 87 minutes, so there are obviously some cuts. I thought it was worth £1.50, although it's very unlikely to displace Jonathan Miller's wonderful Twenties-inspired version in my affections.

Finally tracked down Klemperer's St. Matthew Passion in the Mind shop in Highgate this morning. I paid £3.00 for it, which is pricey but it's a 3-disc set (and it's Klemperer!). Listening to it now and finding it as dull as always but, you never know, OK might convert me, eventually....:)
