The New Stravinsky Complete Edition on DG just arrived (purchased via Europadisc) so I think I'll dip into it...

Originally posted by Joseph K View PostIt is good, inasmuch as I'm listening to unfamiliar Beethoven pieces - it's not like I have much to compare these particular recordings. Coriolan overture is very nic . . . The New Stravinsky Complete Edition on DG
Have they updated it to include the Funeral Song?

Mahler 3, Levine/CSO
This was the recording that captivated me. I hadn’t listened to it for a bit, and there was the whole distaste associated with a Levine recording, but I still think it’s my favorite. The way that Levine brings out the interplay of the soloists in II, for example is magical. I was listening to the Concertgebou Blu Ray with Jansons last week and there isn’t any comparison.

Too much duplication for me in that otherwise attractive looking new big box.
Lots to enjoy there, Joseph!
I too wondered what the big question mark was for, but Bryn has now edited his post!
According to this listing on the Presto site, it does indeed include the Chant funèbre:
PS: I might be wrong in thinking the two 'CD2s' are the same: that Presto listing suggests that Boulez conducts 'Petrushka Suite', with 'Petrushka' allocated to Bernstein and the Israel Phil. Can that be right?

Originally posted by Bryn View PostThanks. The DG listing for the complete edition on their site does not include the Funeral Song, they still have the 2015 listing, though the same site does announce the release of an EP CD of a new Yannick Nézet-Séguin recording of the work. Fortunately, the Chailly (Decca) recording is available on QOBUZ, etc. Likewise the arrangement of BWV 769. I will maybe compile a CD-R to update the edition I have. Presumably The Star-Spangled Banner is licenced from Sony, so no need to download that.
There's also an orchestral version (it starts with a long drumroll!) that the LSO recorded under MTT for RCA (so also now presumably Sony?) that they might have gone for, I suppose.
I'm sure that we've mentioned the CD (or at least the cover artwork!) before.
Very much recommended if you don't have it already.
PS: I found this on the Presto site: a recording (presumably of Stravinsky's arrangement) already issued by DG.
Smith, J S: The Star-Spangled Banner
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra
Igor Stravinsky
It's included in this set:
