... indeed so. I hope you enjoy the Brahms piano four hands : a wonderful series - I think there are eighteen vols altogether...

A reminder to listen again to Brahms op34(b) again, Edgy. Top top piece

Don’t recall ever hearing it before in this guise,yes it’s a great listen,thanks

Recently acquired for £1.99 the complete Prokofiev piano concertos on 2 CDs Bronfman/IPO/Mehta. Snapped up on account of my devotion to Bronfman, who is an occasional visitor to these shores, but for whose musical integrity & instincts I have the highest regard.
Hmmm -- 1st concerto rather underwhelming & lacking in the "enfant terrible" element which so shocked SP's Conservatoire judges -- not savage enough, & sounding rather like Poulenc..The rest, though, wonderful, especially the neglected 4th & 5th.

A reasonably productive tour round Truro yesterday before a committee meeting for Truro 3 Arts, planning its next two seasons https://www.truro3arts.co.uk/

McCreesh's Archiv Messiah, 99p
Leningrad/ Mravinsky, Tchaik Francesca da Rimini/ Nutcracker suite (Leningrad Masters), 99p, playing now
And at slightly more elevated Oxfam prices
Liszt Annees de pelerinage (Lazar Berman/ DG)
Hilliard/ Garbarek Officium
Alison Balsom Seraph (MacMillan, Takemitsu, Arutiunian, Zimmerman)

Plus the old Melodiya/HMV LP of Kondrashin's Shoster 9th and Execution of Stepan Razin, the latter apparently not on CD(?).

Ah well, that's another month's charity-giving over!

And a few days ago I spotted this in Liskeard for 99p:



Already on my shelves but a quick message to a friend saw it duly snapped up!

Oh yes, was almost tempted to buy a very down-market LP proudly announcing on front of sleeve Brahm's Hungarian Dances(sic). Would that be Johanna Brahm?

Barbirolli did several versions of Elgar Symphony 1. Some may be better than others, but as I recall the one you have is superb.

A superb 2CD Elgar set !

[LMcD]

Barbirolli did several versions of Elgar Symphony 1. Some may be better than others, but as I recall the one you have is superb.

Recorded August 1962 - it really is special. The recording of the 2nd symphony dates from 1964.

Beethoven symphonies 5 and 7 - VPO/Kleiber (a DG Original) - well worth £1, I reckon!

[LeMartinPecheur]

Beethoven symphonies 5 and 7 - VPO/Kleiber (a DG Original) - well worth £1, I reckon!

I reckon so too, but there is a body of opinion that might tell you to think of it as 99p for the 5th and 1p for the 7th

I've never been quite sure why!
