Just noticed whilst browsing amazon a set of Beethoven Symphonies - Pittsburgh/Steinberg - due for release on DG in May - no details but the picture was a Japanese issue - is this, I wonder, a release of the Command Classics set from the 60s - if so they may also release others from this label.

Originally posted by HighlandDougie View PostAs he only recorded one complete LvB cycle with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra - for Command Classics - between 1961 and 1965 as opposed to the recordings he made earlier for Capitol - 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th (in the EMI Icon box), it must be this set. Command Classics followed Everest in using 35mm film, hence the good recording quality (I remember a Brahms 2nd on LP as being decidedly superior, recording-wise, to Szell/Cleveland). At least some of these recordings were a mainstay of the Music for Pleasure catalogue (5th, 8th & 9th), although the pressings did scant justice to the quality of the recordings or the music-making. As Cloughie says, it would be good to see more of what Steinberg recorded for Command Classics re-appear. Duly pre-ordered.

Not as if I don't already have a lot of Beethoven, though.
While browsing I spotted also a few Icon boxes - not sure if I have them - look good value. Martinon, Markevich - with some interesting and unusual recordings. Also Kempe - not sure if that's such a good one.

Phew! Look at the asking price for the Steinberg Icon box via Amazon. I paid less than £16 for my brand new set. Mind you, that was in 2011.
