The Kletzki Scheherazade !Comment
-
A glance at the amazon site shows how poorly represented Klezki is in the current catalogue. Maybe a EMI double with RK:Scheherazade/Tsar Saltan and Tchaik:Sym 6/Cap It is overdue!Originally posted by Barbirollians View PostComment

Indeed, Supraphon have recently re-released his Beethoven symphonies with the Czech PO though.Comment

Indeed they have. I pre-ordered them but with so much other recorded and broadcast music to listen to, they remain in their box as yet.Originally posted by Barbirollians View PostComment

I have the Bolshoi/Zuraitis set both on LP and then on CD: I hadn't realised that it was no long available. It's great fun, with completeness including appendicies from 'The Nurse and Mercutio's Friends', the 'Moorish Dance' and the Letter Scene, which comes straight out of the Fifth Symphony, second movement.
What I would like to see resurrected is David Munrow's marvellous 'The Art of the Netherlands', long deleted but glorious stuff.Comment

It has been re-issued on virgin , but there are still some tracks missing*. as was the case in the EMI 2CD issue from the 1990s.Originally posted by Colonel Danby View Post
* In the EMI 2CD-set where missing:
From LP 1 Secular Songs side 1: Isaacs Donna di dentro...; side 2 Mijn morcken..., Ghiselin's Ghy syt die wertste.., DesPrez's Guillaume se va
LP 2 Instrumental Music side 1: Heth sold ein Mesken...; Isaac's A la Batallia, T'Andernaken; Brumel's Vray dieu...; La Guercia; DesPrez's vive le Roy; Obrecht's Tsaat een Meskin
LP 3 Motets side 1: Obrecht's Haec Deum Caeli.
From the virgin re-issue the whole of LP 2 side 1, the instrumental music, has been omitted.
The original 3LP-set contains just over 160 minutes.
The 2CD set plays for 131min44sec, which is ridiculous, as two CDs can contain up to 160 minutes of music.
Excuse: "This 2 CD set forms a conspectus of the 3 LPs originally issued under the same title"

The Royal Classics re-issue of the Barbirolli VPO Brahms 4, AFO and Haydn Variations arrived today. The recording details given are very confusing. The 4th is claimed to have been recorded in Studio 1, Abbey Road and published in 1990. The other items are shown as being recorded in the Musikvereinsaal in December 1967, fisrt published in 1969, yet also published in 1968(!) and its digital remastering published in 1990. The true provenance is anybody's guess.

Today I listened partly to a Colosseum LP of Heinrich Sutermeister's 2 cello concertos.
Colosseum is a label I miss dearly, and these two concertos are worth a re-issue.
Btw, Sutermeister and Rolf Liebermann (both born 1910) were honoured by the Swiss Mail with two stamps last year.......Comment

Bryn,
I've just had a look at all the CDs in the set, and the dates and venues are certainly confusing. However, there's a consistency in the sound which suggests that they were all recorded in the Musikvereinsaal. Maybe the overtures were not. I clearly remember when the set came out on LP, since I'm sorry to say it got a rather sniffy review in The Gramophone at the time. I don't recall the reviewer, but he thought the performances self indulgent, so naturally I got them! I no longer have the LPs,they would probably not have had recording dates in any case. Anyway, enjoy!

As I remember it, The Gramophone was almost always 'sniffy' about Barbirolli's recordings. The common complaint was that he "wore his heart on his sleeve".Originally posted by Ferretfancy View PostComment

I see Decca is reissuing Nabucco with Tito Gobbi and Elena Souliotis soon. I wish they would reissue Souliotis' recording of Anna Bolena instead!Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....Comment

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.

It is a mystery to me why some old recordings never found its way to CD. I really want the Robles Trio playing Bax and Debussy on Argo. But even more the Torroba LP with the Concerto Iberica and Dialogos performed by Los Romeros and ASMF with Marriner. It is a Philips record and one of the best sounding discs ever, if I remember correctly. I love the music and also, the cover is wonderful. But no CD. I have suggested that Decca Eloquence should release them, but they don´t even answer.
