Over the last couple of years, EMI has re-released some of its
budget boxes with new cover art (Cziffra's Chopin, Tipo's Bach,
Cluytens' Beethoven etc). All these were originally released
in bulky jewel box packaging with a minimal booklet. Are the
new releases the same in terms of packaging AND remastering
except the cover art? I could check for myself if only the local
CD stores carried any of these items :-(
Thanks in advance.

For all Bay Area pianophiles:

Rafal Blechacz (winner of the Gold, as well as all the non-metallic
prizes, at the 2005 Warsaw Chopin Competition) will perform on Sun,
May 11 at 7 pm at Herbst Theatre.

His program:
MOZART Piano Sonata No 9 in D major, KV 311
DEBUSSY Estampes
SZYMANOWSKI Variations in B flat minor, Op. 3
CHOPIN 24 Preludes Op. 28

Hope to see you there!
Daniel

Stereo Flacs

Delibes Copelia
Ansermet
SRO
April 1957
Victoria Hall
Produced by James Walker
Engineered by Roy Wallace

This performance has only been released on CD by King Japan and is
long out of print

Ansermet recorded this before the three PIT ballets. And that is
fitting as there would be no PIT ballets if not for Copelia. Does
Copelia belong in the same class as the three PIT ballets? Ansermet
makes a strong argument for such a case.

How about Lang Lang plays anything. He is the phoniest performer I
have heard . Or Glen Gould playing Mozart Sonatas. Or Joyce Hatto.

The Fascist Hymn will do, as well

On a recent EMI CD purchase there is a statement that texts and translations
are available on the EMI web site. Since the item in question was from
Berkshire, and is apparently no longer in the EMI catalog, I'm not at all
optimistic. But I'm curious if the service noted still exists in any
form. Does anyone know? (There was nothing obvious linked from the EMI
classical web site.) Thanks.

Clinton and McWarmonger hand you a bone (federal gas tax holiday).
While you are chewing that bone, they hit you over the head with the
newspaper(their voting record for umpteen years in the Senate which
has kept us beholden to Arab oil and the terrorists at Exxon/Mobil
etc.).

YOU vote for them every November and THEY pick up MY shit whenever I
please to poop. Who is the dog?

Shaemus

p.s. Who was President when Exxon and Mobil were allowed to merge?

The NY Times reported today Henry Brant's death. I have a few
recordings of his; tonight I'll play Columbia ML 4956: Signs and
Alarms (1953) - premiered by Stokowski and Galaxy 2 (both under the
direction of the composer). In Memoriam. Hauser
