Mrs. PG took delivery of a parcel today which I'm 99.9% certain contains my Christmas present which is the complete recordings of Henryk Szeryng. 51 days to go...

I borrowed Barber's 'Vanessa' from my local library today so am looking forward to listening to it over the next two days. I heard an extract on 'Counterpoint' and found it interesting.

It's a really pleasing work. I have the Naxos recording.

Not quite complete. It does not have his RCA recordings, for instance.

I got the huge Rubinstein set years ago so I must check and see if the recordings they made together are there.

1: A Decca compilation including Saint-Saens' Mass (which I don't know), bought as it contains the four Poulenc motets (Christ Church Oxford/Preston) not included when the Stravinsky Mass and the other four made it to CD.
2: Stravinsky: Complete music for piano and orchestra (Osborne/BBCSSO/Volkov), to remedy an omission in my collection that had surprised Bryn!

The Brahms concerto with Monteux is in the recently issued RCA Monteux box. I still love Szeryng's playing in that, but the orchestral strings' sound is very fierce.

... hope you enjoyed it : have you been collecting all the other volumes in this series? I calculate that after op 64 there should be two or three further double-CDs (depending on whether they do the Seven Last Words).
