What CD, book, DVD etc are you waiting for?

Now that is interesting....
Shame they couldn't find room for Mahler's 10th

I should say! I wonder what the actual works are on that.

Thanks Bryn.

I must confess that I LOL'd when I saw "ANTON WEBERN Six Orchestral Pieces. arr. Webern", until I suddenly remembered that the original Op. 6 was scored for a large orchestra, it being the work that included the famous "funeral march", not the 5 movement Op 10 of 1913.

Yes, I have a cassette recording of a Radio 3 broadcast of Cerha directing a performance of the reduced version somewhere. There is also another version using forces in between the complement of this version and the original for large orchestra.

Oliver Soden's biography of Tippett has just turned up.
The Ansermet Bartok 2CD Eloquence set is apparently not due until 22 June!

Hmm, the Wayne Shorter box been on my wish list for a while, do feel free to give a recommendation or otherwise !!

It's bound to be good, although it doesn't feature two of Shorter's best albums, Speak No Evil and Juju (both of which I used to own and will probably buy again soon. Actually, I thought - in fact, know I bought Speak No Evil again, but it apparently has disappeared, so it looks like I'll have to buy it a third time. )

The 1989 Ashkenazy/Cleveland accounts of the Beethoven Piano Concertos -more highly rated by RO than the Solti set and going for a song on Amazon each of the three discs for less than a pound.

The new Source d'un Regard Dalbavie CD, despite being quite expensive, I am waiting for in the post.

[Pulcinella]

Not quite the right thread, as it arrived yesterday:
Martinu: The Greek Passion
Soloists/Brno State Philharmonic O/Czech Philharmonic Chorus/Mackerras (Supraphon)

Nice solution to booklet provision: two booklets, one in each of the 'spaces' in a normal-size 2CD set.
One is just libretto, the other cast list, essay, performer details, etc.

I have the CDs and the DVD but find the work much harder to relate to than Jullietta/e. I must try again.

It's all part of my preparation for seeing the Opera North production in Leeds next Saturday.
I've already listened to (streamed) the Czech version (Pešek) a couple of times, but thought it worthwhile getting the English Mackerras version.

I'm currently waiting for Mark Viner's Alkan Preludes, 3 volumes of the Hyperion Romantic Piano concerto series (vols.15, 32 and another I can't remember just now) and a Russian Disc of Anton Rubinstein's Ocean Symphony in the original 4 movement version.
