| 1121.1 | it's all in a set... | BISTRO::SLAGBOOM | another bugcheck please..... | Mon Mar 21 1988 00:16 | 10 |
| The problem is,please correct me if I'm wrong,that CBS all of a
sudden stopped shipping the separate cd's after releasing the complete
set.
I have sort of the same problem: started collecting,own 3 of them
now,but no way to get the others.
The only solution is to buy the complete set and try to sell the
3 disks....but....if you already have "all - 1"....

| 1121.2 | I have no trouble finding the singles | STAR::BIGELOW | Bruce Bigelow, DECnet-VAX | Mon Mar 21 1988 06:42 | 11 |
| I have had no problem finding all of the rest singly. In fact,
Lechmere in Nashua NH just got a new shipment of all but the 8th
just last week. And the CBS club still advertises them singly.
But I've never seen the 8th. I have inquired about the set, and
I keep getting told that it's only available in Europe - no one
in the US has been able to get it for me, which is why I bought
them singly. But, of course, I really don't know - stores often
lie about such things.

| 1121.3 | check Schwann -- the set IS available | DSSDEV::CHALTAS | Der Vogelf�nger bin ich, ja | Mon Mar 21 1988 08:38 | 9 |
| I've seen the set for sale a Lechmere's in Nashua, NH as recently
as Christmas, but not since. Lechmere's is very bad about keeping
stock. I've also seen it a Cutler's II in New Haven, CT, but they're
a rather expensive (OK, VERY expensive) store.
Is the 8th concerto listed in Schwann?

| 1121.4 | Perahia set | DECWET::COOMBS | | Mon Mar 21 1988 09:52 | 14 |
|
The set is still available in the US. Saw it in the Bellevue Tower
Records last night.
I've got three of the Perahia Mozart disks. (Bought all at
once in one of my compulsive splurges.) I think Perahia
is TOO pretty, so I think I'll probably start exploring the
Bilson-Gardiner recordings. I also like my one Brendel CD
better as far as Mozart concertos go.
Guess Perahia isn't for everyone.

| 1121.5 | Perahia's Mozart | DELNI::TRUSLOW | | Mon Mar 21 1988 11:32 | 12 |
| I bought the complete Perahia set on CDs about a year and a half
ago (two giant boxes of CDs) -- but, like noter 1121.4, I don't
feel satisfied with performances that are merely pretty. If you
can find the DG Kempff recordings or the Rubinstein on RCA Red Seal
or the Richter/No. 20 (also on DG), I think you'll have made a more
endurable investment. (I bought the Rubinstein performance of No.
24 when it first came out back when I was still in high school,
and hardly a month goes by that I don't play it a couple of times
-- oh, yes -- I graduated from high school in 1962.)

| 1121.6 | Gilels 27th on DG Galeria | DECWET::COOMBS | | Fri Mar 25 1988 10:04 | 12 |

Don't know when this came out, but the other night I picked up the
Emil Gilels recording of the Mozart 27th Piano Concerto. Its on
a CD reissue on DG Galleria of a 1974 recording with Karl Boehm and
the Vienna Philharmonic, coupled with the Concerto for Two Pianos
where Gilels' daughter Elena is the other soloist.
This has been a rosette recording in Penguin and elsewhere since
the day it came out, and for $8 to $10 it's a steal. (I'd worn out
my record so finding the CD was great.) Look for it.
