Hmm, looks like we will have to wait until the end of October for that Carnegie Hall Richter boxed set.

Anyone into Eduard Tubin or just curious?

His complete symphonies on BIS (Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Neeme Järvi) are just £15.99 for a 16-bit CD quality download from Qobuz. Great value given that I didn’t pay much less than that over 20 years ago for the CD of symphonies 3 & 8!

... o, mine is 'promised' for 29 September. Anyhoo, if we get it for £4-78 (plus P&P) I'm not complaining...

You have to toss in items to bring the total order up to £20 or more to get free delivery. Unfortunately a book I thought of adding in, priced at about £18, has now shot up to around £28! I'll have to keep looking for a suitable order filler. Otherwise the pre-order is a tad under £7 - though might still be worth it.

Too much of a temptation at that price - duly ordered. As always, deepest thanks to Hafod for his forensic skills at rooting out bargains.

Listing of pieces here - http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Scribendum/SC801 Are the recordings any good?

Thanks Hafod, on its way along with the Leibowitz box at the same price, less CDs but still good value. Mrs C sayscwhere are you going to put them, but had to do it!

I'll be interested to hear how you like Leibowitz. I've a few of his recordings which I picked up as Readers Digest CDs in a local charity shop. They're quite good, but I'm not sure I'd really "need" the others from the box set I probably have enough Beethoven symphony cycles already, and some of the others look like "mere" fillers. Feel free to persuade me otherwise when your boxes arrive.

Comments on the Scherchen box would also be welcome - I've only got a few recordings by him IIRC.

Don't know if you can access Naxos music Library, but the Leibowitz is available there = see post 21 here

Yes - Tubin. A discovery I made years ago with a bargain from HMV, no less; the very same BIS complete symphonies. I found them very 'easy' to acquire the taste for - and well worth it, too. However, apart from the symphonies, I don't know any other Tubin works.... probably worth investigating.

Interesting. I found a lot on Qobuz, which may not be in the box - but Qobuz doesn't have that particular box as far as I can see.

I have now accessed the NML via my local library website. I can't see the particular box set of Leibowitz CDs listed there - though perhaps all of his recordings are there in different forms.

Currently listening to his flute sonata. The players aren't named. https://www.amazon.fr/Leibowitz-Sere.../dp/B0000245ZZ

Sounds a bit like some Messiaen flute music.

The Demus recordings of Schumann's complete piano music are currently on sale at JPC for E9.99 (IIRC)!! Shame I already have it.
