That is an interesting find all right. I have the later set that Seán mentions but it would be intruiging to hear the earlier versions. Enjoy it!!mcq wrote:
Looking forward to hearing this one. The Budapest Quartet's classic Columbia recordings from 1951/2 have been dogged by intermittent availability so when I saw this set in Tower for only €30 I snapped it up.

That is a glorious set, Sean. Have you heard Bohm's Tristan und Isolde from the 1966 Bayreuth Festival? Here is the closing Liebestod, as sung by the incomparable Birgit Nilsson. One of the great moments in recorded opera, in my opinion.Seán wrote:

Thanks for that, I'm afraid Wagner's music is addictive, I love it.mcq wrote:That is a glorious set, Sean. Have you heard Bohm's Tristan und Isolde from the 1966 Bayreuth Festival?

On my way to the NCH tonight for the sensational Mahler 6 concert I popped in to e2music on College Green and came away with this set, it cost me €7.

Fergus, I see that you are collecting recordings of Mozart's Horn Concertos, please let us know what you think of that set.fergus wrote:

Re: Recent Purchases
Yes indeed Seán; I have had these sets on my List for a long time now so the time for purchasing has arrived. I love the music and so want a few different versions on my shelf.Seán wrote:Fergus, I see that you are collecting recordings of Mozart's Horn Concertos, please let us know what you think of that set.fergus wrote:
