bach's magnificat in d with john eliot gardiner and the monteverdi choir MAN do you know how many times i have listened to this work in the past 3 weeks, like quite literally 60 times, of 5 different recordings, i am ready to shoot daniel barenboim for a positively awful interpretation, i would run him down with a pack of pregnant elephants if his lack of understanding of baroque music wasn't being exceptionally helpful for my essay

[ted]

A CD of Chinese zither music I think.

Pack of pregnant elephants

3. Schumann Symphonies with Sir Georg Solti

I've got that - most of it is great except for some terryfiyingly out of tune brass playing in the 4th movement of the rhenish (LOVE that movement!)

I bought Russian Cello sonatas last week with ashkenazy and Lynn Harrell (who I always thought was a girl)

[Tash]

is lynn harrell not a girl??omg...i'm a moron...i must have really looked hard at the cover of the beethoven trios cd i once borrowed...

[Jacey1973]

Today i bought Saint-Saen's 2nd and 4th piano concertos and the complete cello works of Rachmaninov (i LOVE the cello sonata in G minor)...

I also borrowed Elgar's "The Kingdom" (cos we're singing it in choir) and Demidenko playing Prokofiev's 2nd and 3rd piano concertos - i plan to copy both...so i kinda bought them....

Oh i also borrowed a book of Bach chorales and a book by Alfred Brendal on piano (Beethoven recordings etc) from the same library...however i accidentally lost the bag they were in when i was shopping in Primark in the afternoon.

No one had handed it in - so what do you reckon i should do?? I'm so pissed off, i'm gonna phone the shop tomorrow to see if they found it (it's a pretty big shop). But i can see me having to replace them...they must be in the shop somewhere - cos why would the average person want to steal a bag with Bach chorales and a book on piano for(there were also some plasters and a half drunk bottle of apple juice in there...lol)

(Got some great cheap clothes in there though...)

I think I'm going to buy Bach's St. Matthew Passion BWV 244 tomorrow

- BB

[quantum]

The word buy and CD haven't been used by me recently.    I usually now say I "obtained" a CD. 

Ahem.... I make good use the library resourses available to me.   

Last CD I obtained:
Bach St. Matthew Passion (Cond: Karl Richter)
I was inspired by a recent thread about a piano transcription of the Erbarme dich Aria. 

CD I want to buy:
Complete Ginastera piano works by Petchersky. 

[Tash]

i just burned a copy of the st matthew passion from the con library...sshh!!

[Kassaa]

I just downloaded the complete 100+ cd's bach collection, I just downloaded the Dumky trio, and the Saint-Saens PC's.

[Bouter Boogie]

i just burned a copy of the st matthew passion from the con library...sshh!!

How could you!?

- BB

[dave santino]

In one big order:

"Tinstletown Rebellion" and "You Are What You Is"- Frank Zappa
"Against the Clock" and "Metal Fatigue"- Allan Holdsworth
"Liszt- Piano Concerti, Totentanz and Hungarian Fantasie"- Goerge Cziffra

[Tash]

How could you!?

- BB

i know, i shouldn't, i should go and buy the poor thing, which i would much prefer to do, but when you have a list of like 50 different pieces you have to listen to it's hard for a poor non-working uni student to pay for them all!! that's my excuse anyway;)

[Waldszenen]

i just burned a copy of the st matthew passion from the con library...sshh!!

I went to the Con library for the first time in my life yesterday... it's so good!

Except for the music scores that look like they're 200 years old.

[Waldszenen]

I've got that - most of it is great except for some terryfiyingly out of tune brass playing in the 4th movement of the rhenish (LOVE that movement!)

I bought Russian Cello sonatas last week with ashkenazy and Lynn Harrell (who I always thought was a girl)

And I thought I was the only one who thought the brass sounded horrible...

[Tash]

Hamelin live at Wigmore Hall.  Love it BTW, the Beethoven transcription is unreal.

[Waldszenen]

I'm saving up $1,600 to buy the 94-CD Rubinstein Collection on RCA.

By putting aside $20 a week I'll be the proud owner in 80 weeks! Hurrah!

Martha Argerich Live at the Concertgebouw.  Here's part of a review:

The Bach C minor Partita is neither romanticized nor scholarly, but clear-eyed and forthright, energetic in its attention to rhythms and voicings while by no means lacking in gravity. The tragic implications of the Bach are brought to fruition in the unbearable grief of the Chopin C minor Nocturne, after which the cascading octaves of the C sharp minor Scherzo arrive like a sudden storm. Argerich plays the Bartok Sonata with tremendous drive and, after a brief set of dances by Ginastera--touching reminders of her Argentine roots--she launches into a Prokofiev Seventh Sonata that rivals Horowitz for pyrotechnic flair. This disc was nominated for the 2000 Gramophone magazine award for "Best Instrumental Recording."

I think her Bach is quirky, but I like it.  The Bartok and Prokofiev are great.

[Bouter Boogie]

Today I bought a CD with Rach's 2nd symphony and one with Schubert's Trout Quintet
