«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 772 of 772@ Parzival, beware of "meticulousness"! Remember? [isbum does recall, for sure...]
Ripping the CDs went according to the proverbial Piece of Cake.
The subsequent peripheral activities – my oh my! – caused me some of the infamous Pain in the Neck! It shows that I can hardly do a job in any other but THIS way :-(
As Manuel of the Faulty Towers used to put it so eloquently: “ Crazy!... ¿No? ”

According to Wikipedia... "The Black Rider", a stage musical by Robert Wilson, Tom Waits, and William S. Burroughs, is based on "Der Freischütz".
@ isbum - Sorry for deleting my previous messages.
In "Preview" the text was shown OK, but when I posted it some paragraphs were joined together (especially the dld-links). Well, it looks a little better now.
@ di(aphanous
Thanks you so very much for der Feischütz and the spectacularly meticulous way in which you (once again) know how to present it! :) ;)
I sure do remember...;)
Speaking of meticulousness, how did you like my original request that mingled Anton Webern with Carl-Maria von Weber possibly even with a backdrop of Max Weber added to the mix? ;)
BTW, I love how you eventually celebrated the 600th post in this shop. ;)
It's so good to have you back! :)
Thanks again.
Concerning my upload, above, I failed to mention that it's ripped at 320kb/s.
The 1st archive (Weber.Freischutz-1.rar) includes:
- scans of the 2-CD-Tray front & back covers
- the original German libretto (in pdf format)
- and my 3-page "Word.doc", detailing this release
Needless to say that all tracks are fully tagged.
___
@ Parzival, you're soooo welcome. Yes, I did notice the von Weber(n), though only quite late. To my shame and guilt, I had also simply copy/pasted your own request line! A normal, habitual typo – nothing to it; for you, as an avid enthusiast of contemporary music, have many more times thought and spoke of Anton Webern than of the old master Carl Maria von W.
BTW, weird coincidence this "turning a new page". Wished Chimez would've done it — and perhaps he HAS indeed, a not so distant spirit so long as most of us, here, keep his memory in our hearts.
___
@ Dreamtime8 (@ Parzival, too, these WBR letters keep following us), with a slight reservation:
On my HDD I have Andrew Lloyd WEBBER's "Requiem" at 256kb/s, not my rip. Can't guarantee that it'll sound any better, as I don't know your @192 version.
___
@ gsw - Warm greetings! Quite uncertain about Charpentier's “Te Deum”, but I think that I MIGHT, just might have it — somewhere.
If it is on a CD, and meanwhile you are still looking for it, I'm very willing to dive into some dark corners... in feeble hope of coming across it.
Possibly I'll find the necessary time near the weekend. Please, let me know. :-)
___
@ BossEllis - What an unexpected, sweet line... I say: Do Have Faith in Search!
@di(aphanous - Yes, I am still looking for Charpentier's Te Deum.
I have heard the short choral portion that serves as wedding music at the end of VALMONT. This I like very much. Interested in hearing the whole thing.
I hope your travels were pleasant and fun and that you got to visit who and what you wanted.
@ gsw - Oh, Lord!
In vain I wasted 3½ hours searching in my non-archived boxes.
Took me just [over] 3½ minutes to locate in on the web! You will find a fresh performance of Marc-Antoine Charpentier's “Te Deum”(by the celebrated ensemble of William Christie) at this excellent blog, welove-music.netAnd, of course, I grabbed it myself too...
P.S. - After an almost eight-year absence, Athens had a beneficial effect on me, despite the fact that I had some pressing business to do there.
@di(aphanous - Thank you for the link. I am going to have to explore that site.

Many thanks for the George Winston - I look forward to listening to it.

Hi everybody:
Any body have Elgars' Symphony No. 1 to share? (I'll take any version!)
Thanx!
@ fpalafox
Elgar....now ere are talking real music :)
With pleasure - I give this link
http://rapidshare.com/files/247317061/Elgar_First_Symphony.zip
to a 1976 live BBC Proms perfomance given by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the 'Grand Old Man' of of English conductors, Sir Adrian Boult.
If, like me, you have the Boult/LPO recoding of the same work & you think it is a little 'steady', then this
perfomance, (Boult was born in 1889), moves nicely, is full of the passion that he brought to his live perfomances, and is one of my personal favourites.
Robert
Hi Robert:
Boult conducting Elgar... wow. First time I heard this Elgar symphony was from a 1968 recording (Vinyl) by Sir Adrian Boult and the LPO of Elgar's first and second symphonies (I think that's the one you're refering to). I assumed it would have been asking too much to ask for a certain version, however you've generously shared more than I had hoped for.
Thanks a million!
Francisco Palafox
It will soon be the "fourth of July". Just wondered if anyone has "The Testament Of Freedom", by Randall Thompson...especially the version conducted by Howard Hanson with the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra, and Men's Chorus?
Gil
@ fpalafox
The 1977 version is the one I was thinking of. Was the earlier ('68)version on the Lyrita label? The version I refer to was done for EMI during Boult's 'Indian Summer' in the lat 1970's.
What makes the Proms recording more personal for me was that (a) I was listening to it live - on a battered old portable radio whist on holiday in Bridlington (UK holiday spot), & (b) it was the first time I had heard the symphony complete.
@ Gil, sorry can't help with your request - hope someone comes up with it though
Robert
@Mel, It's my pleasure. Would you like the rest?
@ Ms Boricua
Thank you very much, you're very kind, but I will decline at this time as one of my good friends happened to spot my request here and e-mailed me the links to two more - and I think that's enough for me to digest right now.
All the best.
P.S. Everyone's asking about the pups - but how's the mother doing?

Does anyone happen to have any of the shorter works by William Walton, which might also include his "Scapino", comedy overture? Seems I have most of his shorter works, except this one.
Thanks!

sorry, no scans...does anyone know of a good mac program for taking multiple scans so as to layer and combine to one image? (my scanner is too small to scan an LP)
enjoy!!
This looks good, tripmaster.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi everybody:
I'm looking for Sir William Walton's Film Music, Vol. 3 which includes his music for Olivier's Henry V re-recorded by Neville Marriner conducting the Academy of St Martin in The Fields. If anybody knows a link or is willing to share it, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanx!
It's soon the 4th of July here in the US (elsewhere too? who knew?) so here's a bit of Americana from various sources:
http://rapidshare.com/files/251516727/4thamer.rar
To paraphrase Luke Skywalker, "July the Fourth be with you".
Does anyone have some of the shorter works by William Walton..specifically his "Scapino Comedy Overture", "Portsmouth Point Overture, and others?
GilinAZ,
Here are SCAPINO, ORB AND SCEPTRE, and other 'lollipops' by Walton, played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Charles Grove:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/mi54fh
PS. I have PORTSMOUTH POINT but it's on another album which I'll post if I get the chance.
Thanks, Abby! I'm anxious to see what the "lollipops" are? I'm guessing one has to be "Crown Imperial". If you can find the old album by Frederick Fennell, with/Eastman-Rochester, I believe he uses an organ, at the end. Not sure if Walton incorporated this into the score, though. Seems I remember an old album, by Sir Thomas Beecham, which he called "Lollipops" :-). Also, wasn't there another overture, beside "Portsmouth", that Walton composed?
@Gil,
Re the Walton bits. I have held back from posting as my main machine which I use for all my music is 'broken' :( though I hope to get it back this weekend.
I have a disc (Philharmonia Orch/Walton) which has his Spitfire Prelude & Fugue, plus some of his film music - Richard III/Henry V. Its been a while since I saw the disc so I forget exactly. Plus (RPO/Sargent) a selection from Facade. I also have two BBC Prom performaces of Portsmouth Point (Overture) & assorted recordings (Norrington/Groves/Henry Krips/Boult) of Crown Imperial.
If any are of interest I can do the business as soon as I get the other machine back.
Robert
I really enjoyed the Malcolm Arnold disk, with Hickox and Liverpool Philharmonic. Does anyone have a complete "Inn Of The Sixth Happiness", @320? The one I have is only @ 192, and is kinda "mushy". The Hickox recording, with the "Inn" excerpt, was just great! Wow! Those kettledrums during "Bridge On The River Kwai"! Knocked me out of my chair!
Gil
@Mel, I'm so sorry for this late reply... I keep forgetting to check the other shops. The mom is fine, thx for asking. She was very low on calcium around 2 weeks ago. Took her (as soon as i noticed that something was wrong) to the vet and they gave her 2 ivs with calcium and also gave her chew-able pills (which she is still taking). The vet said that it was normal for chihuahuas, but still scared me. I schedule for her to be fixed, b/c i don't want her (or me with her) to go thru this again. lol The puppies are almost 6 weeks and ready to go to their new homes, problem is the friends that said that they were gonna take them are now saying they can't. Shouldn't be a problem to find new good homes for them tho. They are so cute and free. ;) Their teeth are starting to come out and soon i will have to switch the milk and hopefully start with wet puppy food. I dunno, is my first time... is all new to me. lol
A request if I may...
Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, II. Allegretto by Ludwig van Beethoven? Only need that song, as it was featured in the movie The Fall. Thanks in advance.
Cancel that request. Figures i was gonna find it as soon as i posted it. :/
Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, II. Allegretto by Ludwig van Beethoven @128
@ Ms Boricua
Thanks so much for your update on how the mom is doing. Glad she seems to be okay and is taking her pills like a good girl.
I'm sure you won't have too much trouble finding homes for the puppies - they sound gorgeous!
Good idea not to let her have any more litters, but why can't you call a spayed a spayed?
All the best.
@Mel, is this a trick question? lol I apologize for any mistakes i made, English is not my first language. fixed = spayed right?
@ Ms Boricua
No - just a joke - and you got it right!
To explain it, in English we have a saying "to call a spade a spade" which means to speak plainly and to use the correct words even though they may offend sensitive people.
So the joke is just a play on words.
Best regards.
lol, sorry that the joke flew over my head. Thx for explaining (and sorry that you had to)! How are you btw?
@ Ms Boricua
No problem at all!
Thanks, I'm just fine, and I hope you're very much better now.
Does anyone have the Bernstein/Horne/McCracken version of CARMEN?
Request:
Bernstein's music to The Lark
Where'd everybody go?
@ Roryseber - You've made me feel pretty uneasy. If indeed I had a requested work, I would surely have responded!
Myself I hardly ever place a request anywhere, but I do keep an eye at this shop... by using binoculars.
On the other hand I don't feel compelled just to type a "Sorry I cannot fulfil your request" kind-a post. No appearance by me, indicates... either lack of the goods' possession or that I'm frustratingly unable to unearth it. [The latter occurs in shameful interstellar silence, unless you can pick up the non-definable noise of my searching box after stored box!]
So, here we go: I don't believe – yes, I experience crater-wide memory lapses too – that I have "The Lark".
___
@ philcrosbby (hm, another double "b") - I definitely don't have THAT Carmen. Pity, huh?
___
@ abby - I'm sorry, I don't have the Kristian Jarvi version of Bernstein's MASS :-(
I could though rip and upload the original 2-disc 1971 CBS release, conducted by the composer.
___
@ GilinAZ - If in the meantime you've managed to get hold of Randall Thompson's "The Testament Of Freedom", then I'd love to see it posted here. Same goes for your other July request, that of a complete "Inn Of The Sixth Happiness".
___
@ all - Prosper, keep healthy and be happy! · I'll be back with a couple of offers, for those good-old-Soviet-days empty shelves.
The following I had already uploaded at a private place. Time has passed; I now find it OK to post them here at Chimez's shop.
• Zbigniew Preisner - Silence, Night and Dreams (2007) - 9 tracks, 56 mins, vbr
- Not my rip; thanks go to the original uploader _ http://rapidshare.com/files/110407882/preis.rar
Teresa Salgueiro, voice
Tom Cully, boy soprano
Aukso Orchestra, cond. by Marek Mos
Camerata Silesia dir. by Anna Szostak
This project gave the composer the freedom to create on a blank canvas without having to follow a screenplay or film plot. Silence, Night and Dreams is for soloists, choir and orchestra and uses texts from The Book of Job and the Gospel of St. Matthew, with a preface by Polish lawyer/screenwriter/politician Krysztof Piesiewicz. The primary vocalist, Teresa Salgueiro, comes from the Portuguese hit group Madredeus, and is a self-taught vocalist who influences include fado, Brazilian music and international pop/rock. Her voice is very high and clear, but unlike Sarah Brightman, without vibrato. The scoring of the work adds to the usual symphonic contingent with electric cello and bass, vibes, B-3 organ, glass harmonica, recorder, and guitar.
1. Perchance -- for solo voice (1:10) - Teresa Salgueiro
2. Silence, Night & Dreams -- for treble, cello & piano (6:59) - Tom Cully
3. To Speak -- for voice & ensemble (9:31) - Teresa Salgueiro
4. To Dream -- for solo voice (1:24) - Cully and Salgueiro
5. To Find -- for voice & ensemble (12:13) - Teresa Salgueiro
6. To Know -- for solo voice (4:38) - Teresa Salgueiro
7. To Die -- for voice & ensemble (7:03) - Teresa Salgueiro
8. Be Faithful, Go -- for voice & ensemble (9:06) - Teresa Salgueiro
9. To Love -- for glass harmonica, 2 guitars & electric bass (4:36) - Mitch Dalton

As it seems hard to find the "Death in Venice" soundtrack, I've made one of my own (a compilation that, I may add, I have enjoyed playing back time after time). It misses, alas, the period songs heard in the Visconti film.
• Adagietto - Morte a Venezia (Gustav Mahler) · My rip - 5 tracks, 66 mins _ http://rapidshare.com/files/150822458/VM-deWaart_Adagietto.Morte.rar

Loose the slimcase pdf, no bigger than 60kB _ http://rapidshare.com/files/150539623/VM-deW_MaV_adagietto__slimcase.pdf
___ *Request* ___ If anyone has the original LP, please post it. I'm especially keen to add those non-Mahler pieces.
di....I think "Inn Of The Sixth Happiness" has probably been posted. However, I'm still looking for the Hanson recording (Mercury) of Randall Thompson's "Testament Of Freedom" (based on writings of Thomas Jefferson...i.e. "The God who gave us life gave us liberty, at the same time. The hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them!")

Hi All, does anyone have access to the compliation Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill I understand it's out of printe. Had in on cassette back in early 90s.
@ BossEllis - Here you have it. The very ambitious studio production of...
• Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill (Hal Willner) CD, 20 tracks @256, 67 mins.
http://rapidshare.com/files/278128607/Hal.Willner_Stars.Weill.Lost.rar
You're in for a treat, for it is a very good transfer — especially if you only have had on cassette the original release of just 16 tracks! All credit and thanks to the original uploader.
In case your WinRAR extractor has difficulty with long paths / track titles (though I have reasonably shortened them*), please decompress the archive first directly in C:\ ; then you can move the extracted directory to wherever you like.
I have included a very detailed web-page, edited by me, which you may open in your Internet browser (I advice Firefox in this case, so that the front cover becomes visible too; couldn't find out why Internet Explorer does not show it).
Time permitting, I might find some complementary bonus tracks of 10+ minutes to upload.
* All tracks are extensively tagged
Enjoy
di(aphanous this is brilliant! I can't wait to list to it especially if it has more goodies than my old cassette.
I believe that I've managed quite well - even if I say so, myself [*blush*], but at times we all need a pat on the shoulder...
- A selection of an additional 11+ minutes, created to fill up safely the previously posted tribute to Weill, reffering to the 67+ minutes of “Lost in the Stars":
• Kurt Weill - Three Excerpts from "Street Scene"
Here are the re-numbered titles, two tracks from Act One and the final scene/song, ready to be attached at the end of those 20 Stars:
0:03 --- 21. [three seconds silent track]
4:20 --- 22. Scene and Song: Wouldn't You Like To Be On Broadway? | -> Kurt Ollmann, Angelina Réaux
5:43 --- 23. Song, Scene and Dance: Moon-faced, Starry Eyed | -> Philip Gould, Mary Munger
1:11 --- 24. Isn't Awful, The Heat? | -> Elaine Mackillop, Meriel Dickinson, Fiona Kimm, Emile Belcourt
Scottish Opera Orchestra & Chorus, John Mauceri
Well, not THAT important - what I failed to mention above: My rip @320. Studio Cast Recording of 1991.

Now here's a novelty for you.
Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934)conducting his Cockaigne Overture, recorded 1933, in stereo. - well, the last couple of minutes.
Due to using 2 microphones, in different locations, feeding 2 separate cutting lathes, the same couple of minutes hace been recorded from 2 points of view.
Marrying these 2 performances, with regards to pitch & timing, and voila real stereo.
The extrack contained here was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 a couple of years ago, but its about time it saw the light of day.
As a comparison I also enclose the full performance (in glorius mono) as it was meant to be heard.
I have also enclosed a small read me, that has much the same waffle as above.
The orchestra is the BBC Symphony Orchestra & the piece was recorded in Abbey Road Studio 1.
The full performance is mp3 320 kbps mono, & the stero bit.....well thats mp3, & that's as close as I can give you.

Anybody here interested in a recording of Carlisle Floyd's opera
The Passion of Jonathan Wade? I recorded it from the radio broadcast of a live performance of the San Diego Opera. Mr Floyd told me at the time of the performance that there would probably never be a professional recording made because it wouldn't make enough money to warrant it. It is really a nice work. If you're familiar with his operas Susanna and Of Mice and Men, then you know that Mr. Floyd is America's premiere operatic composer. If there is enough interest, I will transfer the tapes to digital. Let me know. :O)

anyone want a 30 cd hee-hem-hi boxset of Vaughan Williams in flac weighing in at 8GB...can there be anyone with enough time!!
anyway i got the opera Riders to the Sea (still in my to be listened to 'pile'!)
It's a Russian site and the links are still good,here's the original page

and here's a download of the seperate links

there's plenty of other composers at this site too.
Anonymous...this guy, from Russia, has a great site. Even all he has would take you forever to download! Concerning his Vaughan-Williams...I wonder why he didn't include his "The England of Elizabeth"? I know Andre Previn had a recording of it, on CD.

@ALL - THERE IS A NEW UPDATED SPREAD SHEET!!
Go to the main FranklyYes page and click on the "GSW Archive Sheet" located on the right side of the page. You will find a download link for the sheet in my post.
This updated spread sheet only includes links posted at the main Filmscorium and at the moment only goes through August 2009 but I will have it completely updated soon. For the time being there are thousands of new links to browse.
I have not forgotten you guys with your own specialized shops. I plan to update sheets for your shops as soon as I can. I wanted to start with the one that involved the most work first.
Now you guys head on over, get yourself a copy of the sheet and start downloading like crazy!
I hope this update makes finding what you want a lot easier.
@Parzival - Thanx for the Andrew Pierce. I have been listening to it for 2 days straight. Who is this guy?
Hi everybody:
Would anyone be willing to share Valery Gergiev's (and the Mariinsky Orchestra) recording of Shostakovich's "The Nose"? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanx!
The Claude Bolling non-soundtrack Collection of Lp rip's from me is available in Quinlan's Jazz Speakeasy.
@ fpalafox
I have also been looking for The Nose. After an intense internet search I came across these two links which I suspect - although I am not sure - that it is this recording:
Shostakovich: The Nose / Valery Gergiev, Mariinsky Opera Orchestra & Chorus, Vladislav Sulimsky, Alexei Tanovitsky, etc [SACD Hybrid]
The 17 tracks are not named or tagged; there is no identification anywhere and also no artwork. It appears to be a live recording; the occasional applause is heard.
The recording itself is extraordinarily good:
http://www.filestube.com/af30756ea71d7aa303ea,g/Shostakovich-The-Nose-Op-15-CD1.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/104506260/17a92dc7/Shostakovich-_The_Nose-_CD2.html
In my opinion, regardless of the lack of identification it is worth downloading.
@Mel:
Once again thanx for responding to my request. I also did some websurfing to try to find out if any existing recording of the Nose checks with your find. As far as I know there are only three complete recordings of The Nose: the first recording by Rozhdestvensky with the Moscow Chamber Opera Orchestra in 1975 on Melodiya; a 2008 re-recording by Rozhdestvensky and the Leningrad Philharmonic and the sought one by Gergiev. There are 2 or 3 other recordings but of a Suite of The Nose. On the other hand, none of these are "live" recordings (of an actual performance) which this one is, and lastly Gergiev's recording consists of 16 tracks not 17. Might this be a bootleg? It's a riddle inside an enigma wrapped in a mystery! However, having said all that, this recording is pretty good, so until I'm able to dish out the 35 bucks that Gergiev's version is going for at Amazon, this will do nicely.
Huge thanx my man!
@ fpalafox
Yes, it might indeed be a bootleg but I think it will remain a mystery.
You're most welcome - and I thank you for your request; I'd had it at the back of my mind to search for it and you brought it right up front so now we're both happy!
@mel:
Just for the record, I just found out there's another complete version of The Nose recorded in 2005 by Swiss conductor Armin Jordan and the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra on the Cascavelle French label. 2 CDs, 16 tracks (not our baby!)
Also posted at the Filmscorium, this is one of those discs that contains 'concert' music that has also found favour with TV companies as background music for WWII documentaries, (here in the UK).

Thanks for the Roylance & Galvin!
I've been looking for ages for this. Do you have anything else by this team?
Hi everybody:
Would anyone be willing to share any of the recent recordings of Miklós Rózsa's Violin Concerto (Yablonsky/Russian Philharmonic on Naxos or Levi/Atlanta Symphony on Telarc)? I have the original Dallas/Heifetz on RCA old mono recording and having just listened to Tadlow's recent excellent re-recording of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (based on the concerto), I would like to check out a recent (stereo) recording of the whole work. I'd really appreciate the share.
Thanx!
PABLO CASALS said “The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.”
Consider this a cross-over album. There is as much classical music here as cues from various soundtracks--all featuring the sometimes mournful, but always melodious magnificent cello.

Just wondered if anyone might have a copy of the great "Symphonie Concertante, for Organ and Orchestra, by the Belgian composer Joseph Jongen?
Also, would like to have a copy of "Testament of Freedom", by Randall Thompson.
Gil
@ GilinAZ - Here's the Symphonie Concertante by Jongen. This is a rip of an old vinyl recording, but it still sounds good. Virgil Fox, organist, and The Paris Opera Orchestra with George Pretre conducting. Hope you like it. :O)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NKOYT1U6
Roryseber....thanks SO much, for the Virgil Fox recording. I saw Virgil once, when he came to Arizona for a recital. I also remember seeing him on TV several times. He played one piece where he only used his feet on the foot pedals. He was always so enthusiastic about everything!
Gil
I have been privledged the last couple of years to work closely with a couple of local pianists whose concert work in dual piano performances has been increasing greatly. Singing a solo part with these two in support is an incredible experience...and when it's Beethoven, you can't beat it.
Recently they debuted a live performance of the 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony With the Cypress Master Chorale under the direction of Dr. Sheridan Ball.
This is a live recording of that unique event. Whereas we have become used to the choral portion of the 9th turning into a pissing contest between chorus and orchestra, this dual piano accompaniment puts everything into perspective; the marriage of piano to the human voice is revelatory experience.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did in participating. You won't find this recording anywhere else!

Happy Christmas all,
Copy post to Vintage Vinyl -*sorry* if you get this twice then!
I have, (the Cd's but thats a different matter), the Pearl LP's from the late 1970's of all the acoustic recordings, (the pre electric of the above comment), made by Sir Edward Elgar between 1914 & 1925....I also have the electric recordings from 1926 - 1934 but lets not get too ambicious!
Is there anyone, or two, outh there that would like these copying & uploading. I do not play the Lp's often, but prefere the transferes to those on the CD.
If there are enough takers I shall make a start over Christmas. I think its 5 LP's & a thin A4 booklet.
(I can fit these in between bottles of beer!!! but by the last LP I might be trying to play the bottle & drink the disc ;O)
The lad from Malvern made famous is very close to my heart & have thought about offering these before but as its the time of cheer - & still more beer, then its now or perhaps never.
Thoughts please & once again, thanks for all your posts & Christmas Geetings to all,
Robert.

With my warmest Grüße —
@ Dreamtime8 - At times I may sound arrogant. I'm aware of it, and thus I try to protect myself and others. Allow me then to... only be didactic this time around.
In a few sentences... you do not ask so much! ;-) Therefore I have waited for a couple of days, that perhaps a few other souls would fall in the trap you set -- and risk, in the end, to let you down -- by offering you “The best ever recording”, either on vinyl or CD.
Doubts are rising in my mind whether Beethoven has meant to bring "tears to one's eyes" with his 9th. Excitement? - Certainly. Exhilaration and an elated state? I bet that he did hope to cause. You might feel *all* the above, and maybe let your eyes get moist, if you could attend a live performance in a concert hall. Nothing can beat THAT! Admittedly, a couple of years ago I was moved by a performance on period instruments, given by a Belgian orchestra that I happened to catch on television. So, the next "best" substitute, if you own the proper equipment (a TV hooked up to your Hi-Fi), is to get it on DVD: I remember that the Deutsche Grammophon's “Herbert von Karajan / Berlin Philharmoniker” teamwork was both... impressively massive AND massively impressive [at that time.] —=> *)
Every major orchestra in the world has recorded Beethoven's Choral Symphony at least once. And there's hardly such missing entry in any big conductor's discography. There exists a plenitude of old and new, slow, fast, romantic, vigorous, and "massive" interpretations of this work -- on authentic or modern instruments, with large forces or in line with the custom of each era.
In compensation for your having survived my little lecture, and if not a more thunderous offer appears on this page meanwhile, I can rip for you my copy of "Wyn Morris - London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra" (digital recording of 1989); from my Beethoven complete symphonies box-set.
Listened to it last evening with my headphones on, and am able to only guarantee you that it wasn't filed under the "well I guess that will do" category. Please, say ‘YES’ -- or whether you'd rather wait for a better selling offer.

*) A more recent and affordable alternative, not to mention that in this case it may also musically hit on "the golden mean", is what I just found on Amazon.com for $34.49 :
Claudio Abbado & Berlin Philharmonic: Beethoven - Symphonies 1-9 (Box set, 2008)
AC-3, Color, Dolby, DTS Surround Sound, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen
**) Abbado does not have Karajan's ego, never rises above a composer, he's been an eternal solid rock, plus... he's all-aware of contemporary "authentic" practices -- so as to lead with authority a large & modern Phil. into the time-and-spirit frame of any given period.
PS - Funny that 1/4th of the set, issued in 2001 with the Symphonies 3 and 9, has a price-tag of $22.49 !!!
PS2 - Dreamtime8, I accuse you of having wet my appetite! I no longer hold a credit card; but I think that I can plead with my daughter who resides in London, to order that set ... and bill me at a convenient time. Sells for £29.99 at Amazon.co.uk _ Now I'm eager to watch & listen to the numbers 6 and 7.

@ Everyone - If you don't know the composer, nor have these works, I strongly encourage you to get them!
Greetings from a cold, snow-covered NL.
@ Dreamtime8
There are at least 123 versions extant of Beethoven’s Ninth.
I don’t think one of them could be considered a "well I guess that will do" version.
Nor would any of them bring tears to my eyes - not even tears of joy - and this is a work that celebrates joy.
I would never presume to recommend any version over another.
If you have come so far as to find this place, surely you will be able to find a few of them out there on your own.
Nothing tops the Von Karajan and the Berlin Phil. in LVB's Symphony 9 for an all-round superb and exciting performance.
@ abby, Nothing ???
I so hail a gutsy statement...
Karajan might half-heartedly disagree, for he tried to top himself with [at least] a second recording. There's the Jose Van Dam, Agnes Baltsa and Peter Schreier (of 1986 or 1987, I believe); and another with Walter Berry and Gundula Janowitz, a short 10 years later.
Would you mind uploading then please, if you have it, the *remastered DG recording of the latter?
@ anonymousremains
Thanks a lot for the links to Britten's REQUIEM!
I had found some myself, but they were all dead.
Interesting work for sure!
On a side note: Boy, must James Horner have studied this score a lot during his college days...! ;-)
@ di(aphanous
Since I was secretly hoping that you'd possibly somehow appear and come to my aid, it is my pleasure all the more to once again say thank you so very much for your continuosly great and generous assistence in fullfilling my greedy requests!
Additional appreciation goes out to you for the literarily entertaining ways of your presentation and for re-illuminating the chaos of files with some original order!
Way to go, friend!
Thanks again!
As for Hanson, it was the late Chimezatmidnight himself who, by sharing one of his Symphonies, kindled my heart's interest towards his music! :)
While perhaps not as instantly accessable as, say, Copeland, I find it regrettable that Hanson should be largely 'forgotten' these days...
I can only agree with di(aphanous, give this a spin, especially if you like Mahler and John William's ET-score...;-)
@ abby
Karajan undoubtedly ranks among the giants of conductors; nevertheless, I dare to say that I oftentimes find his performances 'over-rated', to say the least.
I guess in the end, it is a matter of taste, but I for one will never forgive Karajan how he elaborately deminished the 'harsher sounds' in Debussy's 'La mer', so I guess I wouldn't trust him on the Ludwig van either, but that's just me pulling y'all's leg...;-p
Cheers!
@all Classical Music lovers !
I'm plugging my wares (ooh er missus).

Robert
@ Dreamtime8 - I have dug up some interesting stuff. Be ready for a symphonic Beethovian treat. No kidding!
@ Parzival - Don't mention it! BTW I still miss and will keep on missing Chimez' stimulating comments, his reminiscences, those rich personal stories that he used to share.
@ abby - Please forgive Parzival's teasing words... I shall be delivering an aural proof that I'm brewing right now. For if nothing else -- or, not too much else to my taste, save for the operas -- "Ludwig Van" & "Herbert Von" proved to have the happiest of marriages, over the span of decades. It helped too that they were not sharing lodgings!
@ Robert - Well done! My heart-felt wishes to you, for long and prosperous times ahead :-)
Just paid a quick visit to your C.O.S. - Brilliant, sober, and your enthusiasm is quite evident -- from this first post & your words. Good fun to read the names of Cliff R. and Adrian B. in a single breath, one following the other. I'm downloading the... voluminous BOOK[let].
@ di(aphanous
Thanks for the kind words. I have seen your links in the blogs 'comments' & have updated the main text to inform the 'customers' there is an option other than the 180Mb I have offered.
You think that books big! I'm scanning one thats over 240 pages for one project...but its A5 not A4. But I don't want to give too much away.
Cheers.
Robert, JB, Bob...I'll soon have a name for evryday of the week ;0

I am sure I will enjoy them.

Can anyone supply me with the Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony in the LSO/Previn RCA version please.
I would prefere flac, but beggers can't be choosers, so I would settle for mp3 a7 320 kbps.
Cheers

hi. does somebody have?

I was wondering if anyone has a good recordidng of just the "spring/morning" portion of Rossini's William Tell Overture? Surely it is included on one of the numerous relaxing/soothing music cds.
How about LP rips of The Turning Point and Nijinsky? Neither have been released on cd according to STC.
@ GSW - Hello... Are you still looking for Will Tell? Have come across this one:
• William Tell & Other Favorite Overtures [@192]
__ Erich Kunzel & the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra __
01. Light Cavalry (Franz Von Suppe)
02. Fra Diavolo (Daniel-Francois Auber)
03. Zampa (Louis Joseph Herold)
04. Poet And Peasant (Franz Von Suppe)
05. Donna Diana (Emil Von Reznicek)
06. Orpheus In The Underworld (Jacques Offenbach)
07. William Tell (Gioachino Rossini)
http://www.4shared.com/file/236212214/d01fdb49/STOM-ErichKunzel-WilliamTellOt.html
Neither rip nor link are mine, but I won't publish here the blogger's site without permission.
@di(aphanous - Thank you very much helping me but the Wm. Tell Overture is the complete version. I was trying to find a recording of the tranquil "spring/morning" flute/oboe(?) portion of the overture.
In every complete version of the overture that I have heard the tranquil part ends very abruptly and goes immediatly into the "Lone Ranger" part of the overture.
I was hoping if someone had recorded just the tranquil part that it would be arranged so that the ending would softly trail off and not end so abruptly. But I can't find a recording.
A friend seperated the tranquil part from the complete overture and it is a great edit but there is nothing he could do about the abrupt ending.
There were a couple of the overtures on the cd that I have never heard so not a total loss, plus I got to compare the versions on the cd to the ones I have. I like the version that I already have of the Poet and Peasant Overture. The tempo is a bit faster and it just has more life in it. Also I think the complete William Tell Overture that I have is much better than this cd version, especially the tranquil part.
Hi all.
Looking for a double CD of Gilbert & Sullivan music conducted by Alexander Faris with the Scottish Chamber Orch on the NIMBUS label.

Anybody steer me in the right direction???

Sorry, can't help you wil those discs. Never heard them myself. My G&S is more the classic Decca recordings.
Robert
@ Robert
Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.
SEASY
@ GSW - I understand you well. Best thing would've been to dig up my own disc, out of my filled-up storage room. You're one of the friends here to whom I owe so much, that I feel ashamed I did not have the courage in the first place to venture searching... Anyway, I found it in the 3rd Opera box. Hope though that the end result may satisfy you -- that's all what matters.
• Gioachino Rossini_ William Tell Overture, Triple Sec (flac)
http://rapidshare.com/files/394261981/GR_WTO_3ple.sec.rar
Contents:
1a. Rossini_ William Tell Overture, 1st portion
1b. Rossini_ William Tell Overture, 1st part[+]
1c. Rossini_ William Tell Overture [-complete-]
The reason for the "abrupt" – as you call it – end of the 1st portion is... the need of the final 3-note motive, which follows the flute tune, to reach its "ground" tone: Up-Middle-Down, Up-Middle-Down, Up-Middle-Down, Up-Middle-?... But that very note, sitting Down on the floor, is part of the harmony that kicks-off the Overture's "bombastic" second part.
___
- 1a: Having located an earlier occurance of that ground note, I then proceeded to copy / extend / manipulate / multiply and, finally, attach it at the end of the "middle" note or step. I made the best fade-out that I could, but I'm not fully pleased. That note needed to be at least three times longer, in order to sound naturaly fading away. If, on the other hand, you're happy with it, as is, then so would I be as well.
- 1b: I *could* live with this one truncation: I reduced the volume of the fanfare part by 75%, from its outset; kept only the ïntro, and smoothly faded it. Four silent second at its tail make it more acceptable, to me, than previous surgical "operation".
- 1c. Simply because I love this Overture's complete interpretation, which respects the character of both, contrasting, sections: The first part being pensive and reserved, while the end is lively and forward driven w/out a trace of pomposity.
Oh, yes, it's Sir Neville Marriner, conducting the orchestra of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
PS - Let me know what you make of this performance. But don't you dare say more than one single Thanks. [Please, do not embarrash me!]
@ di(aphanous - It's nice to see you visit the house, my friend!
Hope you are well and life is grand!
@di(aphanous - I understand how you feel but I am still going to thank you.
I loved how you faded in track 1a. That was exactly what I was looking for. I really didn't care for track 1b simply because I like the "tranquil" part to stand alone. I like Marriner's conducting of the complete overture. I have the complete overture (and opera) conducted by Riccardo Chailly and it is hard for me to tell the difference. I have another recording of the complete overture which I like very much but I don't know who the conducter or orchestra is.
Would you do one more thing for me? Would you edit track 1a and remove everything from minute 00:00 to minute 05:17? The only part of the track I want is 05:17-08:04. You will notice a very short pause in the music at 05:17 and then the "tranquil" part starts. Make the edit at this short pause.
Don't worry if you can't do this. It is no big deal.
You would think with all of the abridged classical music selections that have been recorded that someone would have recorded this part seperately. I guess it is one of those mysteries of life.
GSW....the melody that the English Horn plays, in that tranquil part (along with the flute obligato) is known as the "Ranz des vaches " (call to the cows). Another version can be heard in the 3rd movement of Berlioz' "Symphonie Fantastique""
Gil
Actually "English Horn" is a misnomer. In French, it was "Cor Angl'e" (Angled Horn), but when translated it came out as "Cor Anglais" (English Horn) :-)
Gil
@ GSW — Whatever pleases you! Been tempted to call this one "GSW's Sexy Excerpt", but chose a... rather neutral alternative. [LOL] _ Here you go:
• Gioachino Rossini_ William Tell Overture's Middle Part
http://rapidshare.com/files/394742331/WTO_Waist.to.Knees.rar
Good for you! I'm fond of alternatives, and never go for just the one *best*. Thus, I reserve the right to change my preference tomorrow, because it indicates that *I* evolve.-
___
@ isbum - Thanks for your warm words. Wish I could confirm your second sentence, but alas! Still healthy, though, and with my humour mostly intact. Miss reading your jokes!
___
@ GillinAZ - As the saying goes, never too old to learn. Thanks for "the cows" reference; didn't know it. As for the "English horn": I used to like puzzling my youthful acquaintances, by stating that it's proper name should've been "Bent Horn"...
Di...."Bent Horn" (Bentley Horn)...sounds like a character in a western movie...brother of "Tom Horn" (starring Steve McQueen) .
BTW...the version in Berlioz' "Symphonie Fantastique" has more of a feeling of "being alone"...out in the wilderness. Are you familiar with it??
Gil
@GilinAZ - Do you have the Berlioz Symphony? I would love to hear it. I have heard very little of Berlioz's music.
I didn't know about "calling the cows" but I like it. LOL
@di(aphanous - Pertfect! Thank you very much.
Now I can move on with a search for the perfect (in my mind) recording of Chopin's Etude in A flat major No. 1, Op. 25. This is probably my favorite piano composition. I love the version that plays during the end credits of the movie The Turning Point (1977). It is included on the soundtrack album, which I have, but I would like a digital version.
GSW...if you go to the Captain Crawl webpage, and do a search for "Berlioz", you'll find quite a few listings for the 'Symphonie Fantastique`, which you can download. He lists classical blog sites where it's available.
Years ago, they said the Munch/Boston Symphony Orchestra version was the best..however, I've always enjoyed those wherein the kettledrum (tympani) is more noticeable, in the "March To The Scaffold" movement.
Gil
I DON'T SEE MY LATEST POST, THEREFORE I'LL SUBMIT IT AGAIN. Sorry if that's again because of a comments' monitoring. In that case, please delete my previous post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@ GSW - Just in time [?] -- because I must find the opportunity to remove a large chunk of my old uploads to RapidShare, and so make room for new ones. Click to go to the «Oldest (=1st) page of Chimez's Classical Music Hall. There you'll find my post -- dated March 15, 2008 11:43 AM -- with valid dld-links, of Chopin's Etudes. You may pick up the Opus 25, only, or both sets.
___
@ GilinAZ - I'm unfamiliar with Bent's brother, but do sense the desolation :-)
By the way... It seems that a discussion about this specific "Call to the Cows" portion had been going on, a couple of years ago, at this forum
http://forums.kickassclassical.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6
___
@ GSW - I hope that you have found and listened to the ‘Symphonie Fantastique’ by Berlioz. If afterwards you felt that you wanted to have simply disembodied, so to speak, the tune portion that Gil has mentioned -- which, by a considerable stretch of the imagination *might* seem to bare a most distant resemblance to Rossini's theme -- well then... pay attention my good friend:
I have prepared for you the perfect custom-made and seamless track, joining the outer parts of the 3rd movement "Scène aux champs" (Scene in the Fields)! It begins with a pastoral duet "Ranz des vaches", and ends with a lonely shepherd's unanswered call, plus thunderstrikes. Am a little proud to say that -- respecting its harmonies, tempos, and loudness -- I've managed to make it sound as if was so performed. I also boosted up the volume to a safe level, since I had removed the very loud middle section.
• ( ‘Head and Tail’ of movement... ) - III. Scene aux champs - Adagio
From _Hector Berlioz : “Symphonie fantastique”, Op. 14 __ Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, cond. by Mariss Jansons, 1992.
Have fun!
Another work, by Berlioz, I'd like to mention (even recommend): The Funeral and Triumphal Symphony....mainly because you don't find that many recordings of it. I think I only found one listing, at the Captain Crawl site.
Gil
1995 saw the centenary of the Henry Wood Promenade concerts in London.
To celebrate this event BBC Records issued a 2 disc set featuring some archive performances from previous seasons. The

It is the limited edition 2 + 1 set presented here.
The is no A4 sized ook, but here are the discs in mp3 format & 320kbps.
CD Covers/artwork is a seperate upload & should be at the "Artwork Department" in due course.

BBC TV in the UK used "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's opera "Turandot" as their 1990 World Cup TV coverage theme music.
As the World Cup is once again upon us just a matter of days, here is that theme, in the recording used by BBC TV.
Nessun Dorma, sung by Luciano Pavarotti (tenor), London Philharmonic Ouchestra
conducted by Zubin Mehta.

@Robert
Thanks a lot for the BBC Proms Centenary!
Simply delightful!
Just wondered if anyone has a copy of "A Pagan Poem", by Charles Martin Loeffler? I only know of the version done by Stokowsky...were there any others?

....sorry, I meant Stokowski .

A 13 part (13 x 60 min) series from the UK radio station 'Classic FM', broadcast in 1994/1995 celebrating the (then) 90th anniversary of the London Symphony Orchestra.
Introduced by Jon Tolansky th series charts the highs & lows of the LSO from its earliest days, through to 1995.
Includes examples conducted the eminent conductors of the 20th century, including Elgar, Bernstein, Stravinsky, Previn, Krips, to name just five.
Also included is the artwork & booklets I made when I transfered these to CD for my own pleasure.
mp3 files at 320kbps.
Classical fans who are at a loose end might consider joining http://groups.google.com/group/Symphonyshare?lnk= I am new there myself, but its somewhere to share good music.
Thankyou my friends,

Take care and godspeed!
I've just stumbled upon this blog. I'm not sure what kinds of albums you trade in here, but here are a few requests:
1) Pagliacci
2) Madame Butterfly
3) The Barber of Seville
Perhaps basic, respectable recordings of each. I would also like "best-of" collections of Maria Callas and Luciano Pavarotti. Thank you
