What CD Are You Thinking About Buying??

[Roehre]

One of the very first (if not the first, at least in the west) complete recordings of the symphonic poems. These pieces were really out of fashion- a sensation and a revelation in the early 1970s, with Haitink and the LPO at their best, and using the latest editions by the Liszt scholar (and composer) Humphrey Searle.
Strongly recommended, Haydnguy

I am not thinking of buying any CDs at present, although I just got this:

Chose this particular one because it was cheaper plus I liked the Naxos edition of Symphonies 2 and 5.

Philip Glass--Glassworks
John Coltrane--Coltrane's Sound
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart--Symphonies Nos.40 and 41 {"Jupiter"} with Leonard Bernstein at the helm of the New York Philharmonic

My favorite is Sergei Rachmaninoff performing Waltz in E flat major, Op. 18. on a Steinway piano concert grand.

It's actually been ordered and I'm waiting for it to arrive.

I heard some really interesting music on the chamber recitals at the Eastern Music Festival this past summer. Composers new to me include Grazyna Bacewicz and Ervin Schulhoff. I'll be looking for music by both of them the next time I get in a buying mood.

Charles Lloyd--Forest Flower
John Coltrane--Coltrane's Sound
Ludwig Van Beethoven--Complete Symphonies, featuringHerbert von Karajan conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker.
