Snowmonkey Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 DAILY DEAL 50% Discount on eClassical Vol 1 of 3 of the Danzi Complete Wind Quintets and Piano Quintets with no less than the Berlin Philharmonic Wind quintet and Love Derwinger, piano. With artists like that, even Danzi's music becomes interesting. RvB You've gotta love Robert Von Bahr. He must be the world's worst (ie most honest) salesman.

Boris75 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Actually, I personally think that with a rather educated audience like I assume the typical eclassical customer to be, less bullshit may actually translate into more sales. I agree. Robert von Bahr in general persuades me to buy when he is really enthusiastic about a recording, precisely because he is frank when music is less attractive (though I also buy in such circumstances as well out of curiosity).

DEA Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm not really a fan of solo piano, but after listening to the samples, I was pretty impressed by today's daily deal. eClassical - Mussorgsky · Ravel · Balakirev Link to comment
Bob Stern Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Albeniz piano music is 1/2 price today. I especially recommend Iberia (book 2), La Vega, and Asturies from Espangne (tracks 1-3, 11 & 15). FWIW, La Vega is the longest uninterrupted piece I know by Albeniz, and its entire duration is interesting and non-repetitious. Baselga uses imaginative rubato and dynamics, but I have to concede that Alicia de Larrocha surpasses him in Iberia. I don't know whether Larrocha recorded the other pieces here. In any event, if you don't want to pay full price for de Larrocha, or if you want more modern sound, buying tracks 1-3, 11 and 15 would be a very economical introduction to Albeniz.

Moosbrugger Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Today they've got a 4-disc bundle with all of Mozart's quintets for $21. Any thoughts? A Hudson Valley Home: Kichels -- A Recipe from the Old Country Link to comment
Jay-dub Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Today: Flute Concertos by Rodrigo and Ibert. I thoroughly recommend it. These are fun pieces. Phenomenal soloist and sound quality (24/44.1). The Sao Paulo orchestra is excellent, too, though the brass may be struggling with some of the tricky bits in the Rodrigo. . . Link to comment
Snowmonkey Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 They've done it again! This is just the best recording of Liszt's piano concertos IMO. Performance and sonics are unsurpassed. eClassical - Liszt ? Piano Concertos 24/44.1 for $5.86.

Boris75 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Robert von Bahr is not exactly enthusiastic about today's offering: DAILY DEAL 50% Discount on eClassical Arvid Kleven? A new detergent? No, a Norwegian Romantic composer. Inoffensive music, very well played by the Stavanger SO under the Finnish star conductor Susanna Mälkki. Only wish the music could inspire me more... RvB Link to comment

Bob Stern Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'd recommend the Serebrier recordings. Barry Brenesal, the Fanfare magazine critic most enamored of Glazunov, also prefers Serebrier. He feels Otaka on BIS does a good job on the slow movements but is extremely dull on the other movements. Daverz, which Glazunov symphony do you consider most interesting?

Daverz Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Daverz, which Glazunov symphony do you consider most interesting? 6, maybe? 5 is probably the most recorded. I'll have to do a listening survey of all 9 to refresh my memory. Link to comment

I also found this review: Rameau: Pieces de clavecin/London Baroque - Classics Today suggesting this recording as an alternative: Rachel Podger - Rameau - Channel Classics Records I'm personally a big Rachel Podger fan, so I'd give this one a listen (albeit more expensive), before buying the BIS.
