Concerti a Due Cori: I'm aware of one complete recordings on Decca and the same on Philips, and No. 1 and 3 on EMI. The Decca recording is now available on Australian Eloquence: https://www.europadisc.co.uk/classical/91870/Handel_-_Oboe_Concertos,_Ballet_Music,_etc.htm The 5th movement of the 2nd concerto is among my favourite pieces of baroque music. Concerto Grosso Alexander's Feast: I'm aware of complete recordings on Decca and Philips. Possibly recorded several times on both labels as it's a nice "filler piece". bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Why is " Relase the kraken" a meme? I believe it's from the REMAKE of CLASH OF THE TITANS which wasn't exactly a cultural event. Also, never got the " Kneel before Zod" meme from SUPEII. What's so funny? " The Dude Abides" is a great meme!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,531 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 It genuinely baffles me how many people get names like Tiomkin and Steiner and, I dunno, Stravinsky, Shostakovich right, but fail at the simple Rózsa and don't seem to notice or care. Even companies can Tadlow fuck it up (inside tray of Ben-Hur). Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Why? Because in English we pronounce it Row- zha or Row-sha. There are no English language words ( dipthong) with " zsa" What about that guy from Varese....Byron...Bryon . Very understandable why folks get confused.

Holko 9,531 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Well he wasn't English, was he? I'm not spelling you brúsz just because I'm hungarian and that's how we'd spell it. And my problem is mainly that he's the only one I see consistently misspelled, not other more difficult ones. Even without the tired meme of pissing me off with it.

Jurassic Shark 12,091 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think the main problem is that we don't know how Rozsa nor Rosza would be pronounced, so it's not easy to remember which one's correct. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,091 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The usual thing nowadays is to reissue CDs in big boxes, often not remastered and with slim liner notes. Which recordings are you looking for? bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,352 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I want to own a new and affordable copy of his Handel Concerti Grossi cycle (have a digital version already) and am also looking for an elusive early recording of his Bach Brandenburg Concertos. There's a CD and digital edition widely avialable, but that's not the performance I'm looking for. I think my version was available on vinyl first, but for some reason I can only find 3 5 and 6 digitally from that cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to buy a few physical and digital Harnoncourt recordings, but they're out of print. Quite often in one form or another. You get Karajan's major recordings in a new guise every couple of years (most recently when DG started doing high res Blu-ray audio releases, although some of them are just upscales of early digital recordings, or of old transfers). I believe much of Harnoncourt's ~80s & 90s stuff was already re-released at budget price during his lifetime, but every once in a while these catalogues get picked up by different labels who then often do new releases, or simply re-release old box sets in new designs - Kempe's excellent 9 CD Richard Strauss collection must be available in at least its 4th version on the 3rd label by now. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,352 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Football (sort of) question. Every time it's the world cup or UEFA, I notice they play orchestral versions of the national anthems with either extreme reverb or a great church organ accompaniment. Which recordings do they use? I really want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,210 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I always figured the reverb comes from the fact that they play the recording in a huge stadium and then record that again as part of the live coverage. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
