BaL 31.01.15 - Beethoven: Symphony no. 3 in E flat "Eroica"

[Bryn]

Is the Krivine box still out of circulation . I was lucky enough to get one from amazon.fr at a low price but have not had the chance to listen to any of the performances yet .

I have not checked whether they are still available, but a later set withheld same forces was/is on YouTube.

Had chance to sample the Loughrans, Bryn??

Not as yet, and not for some times since the turntable is placed on a high shelf which I will not be able to get to until several weeks of physio.

It's available on amazon.fr quite reasonably (25 Euros) at the moment:

Well worth it!

Are you OK?

I had the Krivine saved as a playlist in Spotify but noted last week that it was no longer there. Does Spotify delete music if it is no longer in print?

I've transcribed the last movement of this work for brass band! :)

It would seem so. The Krivine cycle is still available on CD, admittedly with a hefty price-tag from several online retailers, but Presto Classical appear to have it listed as a download only, which may indicate newly-acquired rarity status.

By the bye, listening to the very opening of Nicholas Kenyon's BAL first choice version of Harnoncourt/COE in this symphony I was struck by the appearance of a rogue D natural intruding into the second of the Eb chords. Anyone else hear this ? Possibly a player touching an open string -- it is a live recording, after all.
