    American in Paris

    Gershwin's American in Paris orchestral music was on R3 this afternoon. It was a version with Bernstein.

    Out of curiosity I went looking for recorded versions at the River people.

    I found:

    Bernstein
    Ormandy
    Hickox
    James Judd
    Previn
    Maazel

    all with used options for prices under £1 - even down to 1p + £1.26 p&p.

    There's even a version with Toscanini, but it costs a bit more.

    However what I was initially looking for was a CD of the show with the same name - there are only a few, though lots of Gershwin excerpts with "hits" from the show.

      While we're all still waiting for our Strauss boxes, I'm happy to report that the Soft Machine Live in the 70s box that I ordered as a makeweight arrived yesterday - and is bloody brilliant! :)

            Just noticed a change in Amazon UK - but not directly relevant to the Strauss as for a different (non CD) order.

            The change is from Arriving X-Y to Expected by Z, but it's probably no more indicative of anything helpful.

            I think my Strauss order is Expected by 1 May, but I'm not holding my breath.

              Luck you. Mine is shown as "Will dispatch 1 May" and "Expected by 4 May".

                Mine's despatch 2nd of May, expected the 5th.

                I'd have thought the orders would have been cancelled if nothing was going to be despatched, but who knows? Fingers crossed.

                    Mine is like Dave's: simply Expected by 1 May.
                    But expected by whom is not disclosed!
