So, if you don't already have Sir Adrian's recording of Parry's 5th, etc. (and why not?), this is a good opportunity to add it to your collection.

Every home should have one,and I've been listening to mine this very evening (neglected Brits thread).

Ginette Neveu collection. Wonderful violinist. The Sibelius VC and the Chausson Poeme are especially good.

No idea what the transfers are like though.

Gardiner Collection: 30cds for €23.90 at Amazon Italy (about £27 delivered - a bit less from the Marketplace seller tho' slightly worrying that despatch is 2-4 weeks for the former). Too much duplication for me.

A bargain indeed, but I find myself in the same situation. Far too many duplicates of previous purchases.

Thank you, you, I have friend who's a big fan, but doesn't have much by him. That's one less Christmas present to worry about.

The box appears to have three different recordings of The Planets and I'm not sure if I need them all.

I have found an interesting Boult curiosity in a mint condition LP from Oxfam. This is a World Record Club release of Sir Adrian conducting the Vienna State Opera Orchestra ( VPO ) in the Vaughan Williams Tallis Fantasia, the Greensleeves Fantasia, and The English Folk Songs Suite. Only 50p again!

I have rather lost track of how many times Boult recorded the Tallis. I have two LPO versions, and one with the New Philharmonia from the Cheltenham Festival in 1972, but no doubt there are others. The Vienna version is really rather good in nice early stereo. The sleeve gives the WRC release as1964, but it must be earlier than this. It really is good to hear those Vienna strings in this work. Perhaps somebody can shed more light on this recording.

ANTHOLOGY OF THE RCO

Volumes 5, 6 & 7 of this wonderful series are available from Amazon.de for €13.51, 19.62 & 19.62!!

It can't last and may not be honoured but worth a punt.

Just put 'Anthology of the RCO' into the search box and each box comes up in order (I am not posting a link as it may throw up my details as I have just placed an order).

Good hunting!

Stop Press: Vol 4 at Amazon.uk for £12.71 altho' listed 'temporarily out of stock' - sometimes a bad sign.
