I bought these as they were issued last year. IMV 1-3 excellent 4&5 disappointing,still happy with Gilels/ Ludwig -
This new recording of Vinci's opera Catone in Utica looks interesting. Another countertenor extravaganza, it has Max Emmanuel Cencic, Franco Fagioli and others. There's a promotional video on YouTube, here. Fagioli does pull some funny faces when he's singing, though. Presto have 24/96 download for slightly less than the CDs, which is tempting.My boxes are positively disintegrating under the sheer weight of ticks. Ed ReardonComment

If the remasterings are as good as those for the Mahler box, I shall find this irresistable!
Room on the shelves for one more set, BeefO?

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I'm sure they will be top-notch, but having said that, the 'original' CD box set sounds excellent - the basses in the fourth are pure 'menace' ...... real 'shivers down the spine' stuffOriginally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post<droolemoticon>

I was amazingly lucky in my 'choices' when I started buying LPs as a teenager. One that I picked up at a second hand shop in Manchester's Tib Street back then was Ancerl's recording of Dvorak's 9th with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra (recorded in 1958). For many years it was one of my treasured recordings but it has never, until now, been available on CD (even though it was re-issued as an LP numerous times on the Philips and Fontana labels).
(Also available on Qobuz for £7.99.)Comment

I have to say that I'm looking forward to the new Schubert 'Great' C Major symphony from the late, great Claudio Abbado that's due out on Monday.Comment

Has anyone tried Serebrier's newish Dvořàk set yet? I'm sure that the rewriting (transposing?) of about 20 bars of Symphony 1 is going to really convert me! http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/int...rier-on-Dvorak
However, I think the recordings may be rather good.

At last! The unforgettable 1982 Philharmonia/Previn concert on DVD. 'Pre-ordered' mine already.
