New or S/H Single Work Bargains

[Russ_H]

Well, this could prove expensive.

Until this thread started, I had never bought a second hand CD, but now I have. Two of them.

£1.26 and £4.25 respectively, including delivery.

its a slippery slope, Russ.
I started buying them about a year ago....and still they come !!

There is some gold out there.

[Barbirollians]

Barbirolli's ( utterly magnificent ) 1964 Elgar 2 can be had for £2.20 I see - then again you can get both symphonies and Silvestri's incandescent In The South with del mar's sublime recording of the Serenade for £4.98

(I have no connection with the suggested seller - a charity - although I have just bought three other items from them)

Have we bought them all then?

[NLK1971]

If one is interested in exploring Stravinsky's less familiar work, this may be worth acquiring for 10p exc. postage from Zoverstocks:

Well I ordered the Karajan Bruckner (I have it on LP but it's not in A1 condition)

I've had this a while and it's a real bargain

[Stephen Smith]

My daughters' youth choir (well, they left a couple of years ago and are at Uni now) are on that recording (post #51) - Cantate Youth Choir - a wonderful experience in excellent performance (the effect of which. hopefully, will re-surface in some form in their 20's or 30's. Recommendable (for children or audience) to anyone in their Bishops Stortford / East Herts / Essex /Cambridge performing territory. Senior choir SATB. Cantate doesn't go in for "movement" show type presentation, but they perform a wide repertoire in different styles so one needs to be reasonably open mind as their concerts are varied. On occasion they perform pieces with absolute perfection, and generally to high / highest standards.
They also show up at the Thaxted Festival, and this year, they will be performing Noye's Fludde - a departure, they have not done a staged performance (in any form, before). (which reminds me, I must get my tickets for that....) (Apologies if this is a diversion from the Stravinsky citation - but I hope its good to mention an excellent musical enterprise, the kind of which, I know, there are others around the country).

Seconded. An outstandoing youth choir. I was at their concert last weekend!

David Diamond sounds like the 'razzle-dazzle' warm-up variety act for Les Dawson at a theatre on Blackpool Pier.

Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony - Haitink. 0.01p + the usual delivery. My favourite version with the opening bars a real 'hairs on the back of the neck' experience. Never fails.
