Pastoralguy,

Thanks, it's off to Amazon or iTunes, I go.

Please let me know what you think.

Eight new releases from ICA Classics including must-haves from Emil Gilels and Barbirolli

Not sure about the Callas

Thanks for the tip, ama. Searching around, I've found the Elgar 2 (Boult) & Elgar/Enigma Variations/Bernstein, DVD, at a lower price quote from the river people!

Stumbled across this Anna Moffo recital on Amazon. I had "A Verdi collaboration" on lp and had given up hope of it coming on CD. A very welcome release and it bodes well for Sony delving into the RCA/BMG archive. Moffo in simply glorious voice singing roles that she would not likely sing on the stage. Reminds me of the marvellous Angela Gheorghiu Verdi Arias disc. Would have loved Moffo to have had a go at some of Elisabetta's music from Don Carlo.

[Barbirollians]

The Elgar 2 sounds very exciting - cannot wait.

[BBMmk2]

The DVD sounds really good one to buy! Thanks for the heads up.

Some real gems here, especially the Johanna Martzy collection. The few I've investigated have the CDs replicate the LPs' contents which makes for some discs with very short measure by today's standards.

It's the Haebler I covet although by recent box set standards the prices are a bit daunting (enhanced no doubt because of import duties).

Agreed, though the set costs even more at the river.

I am a great admirer of Madam Haebler's playing. If anyone would like to sample her Schubert, the following may be of interest... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Schubert-Pia...8145483&sr=1-1

Eyes down for a new DVD release on Decca; Verdi Requiem, La Scala, Milan/Barenboim with an attractive line-up of soloists: Anja Harteros, Elina Garanca, Jonas Kaufmann and Rene Papa. Available from the river people @ £11+, - bear in mind that prices can vary fairly quickly -delivery later this week.

Presumably you'd also recommend the Barbirolli new (re-?)issue - Hadyn 83 and Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique.

Bought but not listened to yet .

I was delighted to learn that the Takacs Quartet have recorded the Britten quartets, and that the disc is due for a November release. Eagerly looking forward to this one
