Re: Recent Purchases
A trip around the Ipswich charity store circuit yielded:-
I love Brahms' PCs so these were a wonderful find (and I am not sure why I don't own these recordings already!)
On a related note; I stopped by the WH Smith library to browse through the latest issue of Gramophone (which I won't buy anymore incidentally) and noticed that the overall library recommendation of Mozart's clarinet concerto was:-
...so I searched Amazon and got it really cheaply. I don't think it's possible to have too many recordings of this jewel of a piece so I am very pleased to add it to my collection. Co-incidentally it is Harnoncourt also, I prefer his Mozart to his Brahms recordings usually.

Re: Recent Purchases
^^ all of that Beethoven haul is awesome Jared. Well done.
I know nothing of Bruch's symphonic output, so please let me know if they are worth a try...
...that Suk recording comes very highly recommended, again, let me know if that's worth a try too...
...and I have a couple of Martinu cycles already and I know that you will find plenty to enjoy in that set. Is it your first experience of Martinu?

Bruch: Many reviewers keep saying his Symphonic output is very underrated and needs to be heard more.bombasticDarren wrote:^^I know nothing of Bruch's symphonic output, so please let me know if they are worth a try...

Suk: Yes, that recording was made in the Spanish Hall in Prague Castle in 1991, and is meant to be special. Picked it up for £1.40.
Martinu: Yes, it will be... completely new to me. But hey, I've negotiated Nielsen successfully... how hard can it be? ;-)

Well that happened quicker than I thought! I literally just sold an old Associates CD via Amazon - therefore releasing the funds ;-)
