I have been wanting this cd for ages, then saw this on amazon marketplace for quite a good price and still wrapped to!, it's The Tallis Scholars udber Peter Philips. That classic recording called: Allegri Miserre. Great cd!!

I recently got the box which is excellent and reasonably priced.

AAAAAGGGHHHH, for the very first time I've ordered the No 1 in the Classical Charts, as done to death by Rob Cowan on Breakfast (should know better) and Sean O'Flattery on In Tune (can't help it, poor man). Yes, the Striggio extravaganza.

Still, it is real music not otherwise represented in my vast collection of CDs, LPs, cassettes and 78s (except of course for Spem in alium - 'I have never put any faith in garlic' )

This has just arrived in the sunny Maritime Alps:

Much cheaper than the Testament reissues, although no notes and only four of the seven symphonies. Does anyone know if he ever recorded 1, 4 and 7 - or did he simply not care enough for them to do so? Or did RCA lose interest? It would have been good to have had the seventh. Fine performances, though, and a great bargain/

Tsk, sp.!

Garlic is Allium sativum, not Alium sativum. Mind your ells.

Hmm, Sperm in Allium. Never knew it had aphrodisiac properties, though of course it is popular with those amorous latinos. Must buy one of those crusher thingies. The dream of Ms ****'s knickers remains alive, yet ever elusive.

Whatever the thread title, this appears to be the place for unfortunate mistypes

I have in front of me an advert in my local paper for a CHAMBER RECTAL


However, while I'm here, my last purchase was this:

I played the grooves off the LP thirty-odd years ago, and it's just as wonderful now.


Also, by the same post, Ben Zander's Mahler 1 with the Philharmonia on Teldec. The business

Terrific set and an incredible bargain! I see that Amazon now match price at HMV.com.

I'm new here so I'm not sure how well this thread will be received by other members. I found it strange that the forum didn't have a "latest purchases" thread. I enjoy these threads on other forums and I'm interested to see what floats one's musical boat. Records, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and yes even downloads are welcome.

Sviatoslav Richter - Richter Plays Bach (4 CD set)
ASIN: B001EBLARG

Mstislav Rostropovich - The Complete Decca Recordings (5 CD set)
ASIN: B00690LYWS

That photograph of Richter is rather wonderful - I do wish that the Bruno Montsaignon film about him would be made available again. I was an early adopter on VHS but have not managed to get a copy of the DVD edition.

My latest purchase is a disc of Webern orchestral works by Sinopoli and Staatkapelle Dresden and I'm having great fun getting into it. However I now discover that there is a multi-CD set by the same forces of music by Schoenberg, Berg and this Webern disc - so even greater temptation

I operate an Amazon wishlist for CDs and I guess this will have to go on that, along with all the Schubert 'necessities' that arose from BaL yesterday

Good idea! I have a feeling there was one in the past, and the 'Bargains' and 'Listening Now' threads cover some of the same ground; but as for recent acquisitions...

Well, some Richter for me too: an individual download of Papillons, (inspired by listening yet again to Stephen Plaistow's review of Schumann recordings from last year): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B..._d_i00_details

Also two items inspired by Trevor Peacock's 'Private Passions' a couple of weeks ago:

Ernest Tomlinson's "Dick's Maggot" http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B..._d_i00_details

And Tod Handley's performance of RVW's Tallis Fantasia - I got the whole CD, as I can take any number of versions of 'Dives & Lazarus' and 'Job' too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...00_i00_details

Last but by no means least, the other recent purchase which I have banged on about in various places on this Forum is the magical performance of Stravinsky's 'Firebird' by Les Siècles under François-Xavier Roth http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B..._d_i00_details
