    I don’t know if it is the same company but there used to be a second hand record shop of that name in King’s Heath, Birmingham.

      First audition of Dausgaard and his Swedes in the 1841 4th.

      Exhilarating breath of fresh Nordic air! Thanks, Jayne.

        I already have JEGGERS account of Das Parodies, so I might as well order the Symphonies!

          Yes and all those rare overtures!
          Just starting on Hanover Band/Goodman.... pretty startling, all-laid-bare Abbey Road sound, (not a trace of harshness though), more obviously chamber-scale, period-instrument than JEG...(see Listening ​thread...)....

            Having decided that I really do need to get the JEG set, now I’m being sidetracked into Duasgaard distraction, with the additional temptation of those lovely covers.
            A bit wasted on CDs though....

              I must admit that I partly went for Dausgaard, not JEG, for non-musical reasons. No regrets.

                Looks like Presto Classical have 25% off all BIS discs till June 18,so the Dausgaard discs are £10.20 each.

                    Loved the Harnoncourt 3 and 4 recording . I struggle withNH in a lot of repertoire but his Schumann I have a great deal of time for especially the Paradis undo die Peri recording

                      Have you heard the Harnoncourt/Berlin Phil 1851 4th? (C/w Schubert 4). It's terrific, one of his best records (see above) - you owe it to yourself...

                        On my count, I admire NH, in all he did. Especially post Concentus Wein.

                          The Furtwangler Lucerne Festival account has reappeared in that Audite set with the terrific Eroica I referred to in the Furtwangler Eroica thread that has attracted so little interest . A blazing performance similar to but more exciting and on the edge of your seat I think than his classic studio account - a few blips on the sound in the early part of the third movement but irrelevant overall.

                          Knocks most accounts into a cocked hat.
