    Brahms 4 - earlier Pye recording



    Couldn't find the EMI 4th on G's website. My recollection of reviews when these came echoes yours - I thought they'd been received grudgingly, but the reviews above are very positive. Not that it matters if they were not - I have always loved these recordings.

    The 2nd has been released on SACD by Esoteric.

    When they were reissued on Royal Classics - Andrew McGregor and guest on CD Review were very sniffy about the tempi and self-indulgence. Looks like crusty old TH was not after all.

      No. 1: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brahms-Symph...3271748&sr=1-9
      No. 4: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brahms-Symph...271748&sr=1-11

      That'll get you the whole lot for less than 20 quid if you want them before they reappear from someone else.
      I have managed to track them all down and now have the complete set. The 1st symphony took some finding though - not on Royal Classics and not including the Tragic Overture - instead it had Klemperer's recording of the Academic Festival Orchestra.

      Thank you, Makropulos and everyone else who helped.

        After all the rave reviews - the Tortelier/Sargent Dvorak concerto - appears only available as a download on Naxos.

          The Barbirolli Bruckner 8. The BBC Legends CD appears to have been discontinued.

          Sejna's recording of Martinu's Double Concerto for Two String Orchestras, Piano and Tympani. It is on a very old and very worn LP which I picked up 'on spec' when I was a teenager, coupled with Ancerl conducting the Frescos It is the most electrifying performance of the piece that I have ever heard. (I've just realised that it is available from Amazon, but only as an mp3 download.)

            There are still some copies available on Amazon but for some reason it is under Brucker !

              That Double Concerto is a simply marvellous record which I also discovered in my youth (differently coupled - as the fourth side for Ancerl's "Leningrad" Symphony). It has been out on CD before, coupled with two other Sejna performances of Martinu's Third Symphony and the Dvorak American Suite (there's a copy for about £12.00 on amazon.com - rather than the silly price on the uk site) and it also seems to be lurking on a Urania release (http://www.amazon.com/Martinu-Concer...5928606&sr=8-2)

              It would be great to have it back in Supraphon's Archive series - hopefully that might happen one of these days. Sejna's Dvorak Fifth Symphony is already on that, and it's glorious.

                Looking at this thread four years on I wonder how many have been restored to the catalogue and how many are still awaited ?

                The Boult Schubert soon reappeared in that big box .

                I second the call for the return of Alfredo Campoli's Decca recordings - I love the records that have appeared on Beulah generally it seems from silent surface LPs especially the Tchaikovsky with Argenta - recording a lot of young soloists producing rather faceless accounts could learn from - it sounds like they are all having great fun .

                    Perhaps now a Kletzki ICON is overdue!

                      There's been talk elsewhere on these boards re Andre Previn's RCA recording of RVW's symphonies. This would be very advantageous for RCA to reissue these! I know they still available from the river people, but at those prices!!

                        Long overdue but Icons have rather dried up under Warner compared to the regularity with which they appeared under EMI .
