All right, now for the joyous news.... Yesterday I went to Hastings (boo), and of course they didn't have my order in...I did buy a La Boheme and also Handel's violin sonatas. In all I spent thirty something on two things. Then I got curious as to what other music stores carried cd's...and we drove around and I found this place called Cat's Music. Apperantly the only things they put any worth on were Pop, Rock, Rap, Metal and Electronic. Then they had the "Dollard cd" row, and I found a DG recording of Schubert's G minor mass/Schumann Mignon requiem with Claudio Abbado conducting, Mackerras and Mozart's 40th and 41st, a very strange girl playing Beethoven, Corgliano and Arvo Part (Helene Grimaud), Rachmaninov's Vesper's (which I had already, bought it at Hastings for 18 dollars! ), Erich Kunzel conducting the Strauss's, Tallis performed by King's College (stephen cleobury), and a disc by the masterfully idiotic PDQ Bach ( )....and the biggest prize of all I almost didn't see... Mozart's Clarinet Concerto/Oboe Concerto, Christopher Hogwood conducting. Super nice disc. Each for one dollar, eight dollars in all. Sometimes it's a blessing when people don't know the worth of classical music.

No, really, why would I pay for that when I just barely got my first CD player. Quote:

I listened to all of La Boheme last night. I was crying by the end. It's so darn sad! I love it
Placido Domingo's son pulls a very strange line in the second act...

So HB - the Mozart. Is it an oboist or clarinetist?

Michael Pay...something like that, and I can't remember the other guy. The Oboe Concerto is the really good one. Better that Strauss' (no offense Rikard). correction! Anthony Pay Oboe, Michel Piguet Clarinet.

Ok.
Added: Brahms: Piano Conc.No.2/SonNo2 Vivaldi: Four seasons and other wind concerti, and I have a little something for Merc here: the Oboe Concerto by Vivaldi is really really short, but very good. The Flautina concerto is also very nice. I know, I know, what on earth am I doing buying The Four Seasons of all music! Well, the fact is that I never owned it, except for on my Vivaldi's greatest, which is now messed up.

On the bidding of a shouting composer, I'd like to list my recent aquistions.
I found it! I found Bach's "Musical Offering" (which in German could equally mean "Musical Victim"...) This is significant because it contains the Canon 5 a 2: Canon circularis per Tonos. The one I've been nattering on about. I also bought "Classic Yo Yo" (heavily reduced price), primarily because it contained the prelude to Bach's Cello Suite, No.1... which is what he was playing when Josh hears sirens...

Ahhh thank you for the b-day wishes Janny, and clean out your pm box
Btw, of the two/three colleges I'm really down to, one of them has a freshmen honors program where I'd spend 14 weeks (spring-semester) in London studying Western Civ. It sounds very exciting, if I decide to enroll there. Classical music...ah... Milhaud chamber music, woodwind...excellent. That and Nielsen.

Been really into Vivaldi's Winter because of the KUSC membership drive. It's one of the songs they conveniently play only during the membership drive, and then talk over it. Luckily, I have it on CD.

Oo! Three people posting who arent me...I'm almost ashamed to post myself...
Merc, there's a Naxos disc called "scandinavian wind quintets" or the like, and one is by Nielsen. Is that one you have? Or have you played in a performance of? Janny, I'm glad you found Bach's artillery. TB, It sounds to me that KUSC is very like NPR during membership campaigns...subtly pretending that the thing they want is your noble personage listening to their unworthy program...but really they just want green grub. And all of it is so incredibly transparent and by the way ladies and gentlmen, when we hit the landmoark thousand posts-this thread will have to be closed...please let me open the next one, I plan on doing a fancy speech etc... I'm also going to try and have this thread saved in the archives. EDIT! Also ordered some things on amazon. A box set of all of Dvorak's Symphonies (Istvan Kertesz), Mahler's First (james judd florida PO), and yet a ANOTHER disc of Berlioz's Overtures, this time because the other one missed out on including the Rob Roy overture...though its not wonder, that disc amanaged to be 75 odd mins long, and the Rob Roy is roughly 14 mins long.

But they COULD be less obnoxious about it. They repeat so constantly it's no wonder they have to do so many membership drives.
