The half-price deal remains.  This year all the half-price Christmas discounts continue in effect if you go directly to the album page, even though they disappear from the daily page:

FWIW, I greatly dislike Vanska's Beethoven.

Is there a list of all the album's offered this Christmas?

He consistently avoids big climaxes and grandeur.

 

Otherwise, he doesn’t seem to have a point of view, since his eccentricities vary within a single performance.  Sometimes his phrases are clipped (Sym 9: I) or spastic bursts (Sym 9: IV).  Other times he's simply dull with no phrasing at all (Sym 9: III; Sym 5).

 

For Sym 4, my notes are:  I. Sforzandi exaggerated but OK;  II. Graceless.

 

It is interesting and helpful that you've expressed this. I felt that quite a few things sounded strange, some perhaps wrong, but I don't have enough knowledge to identify those shortcomings. Your post clears things up a bit.

Thanks.

 

I think that my favourite 9th is probably Fricsay's old DG recording. Or is it Wand's for RCA?

I'm conflicted - love Fröst, not much on Mozart ( ? - I know, I know).

 

Don't feel bad, I also prefer the Romantic Period and Early 20th Century music but the Clarinet Concerto is a very beautiful piece.

EDIT: This boxset might be value for money...too late for me, though.

Did you buy it? How good is the orchestra?

I have one of the CDs an many takes on Scheherazade so I didn't buy it.

But I still recommend it.

Do you have a Qobuz or Tidal link, by any chance? Not showing up in my searches...

It's a bundle. I can't find it on Qobuz either.
