Whats on your turntable tonight?

Rushton, I find your explanation of the instrumentation only heightens my interest in hearing this recording and many of the others. I checked with Elusive Disc and they are currently listing it as out of stock. I went ahead and entered an order (it let me) in the hope that I might be fortunate enough to see it restocked, we'll see. Thank you again for the thoughtful words. With a little looking around I found a HiFi+ review of the Italian Violin Music 1600-1750 Open Window OW 002, they suggest it as one of their favorites also. Also found a Chinese website that describes six different albums of this series. Very intriguing. Sounds as though this path of music exploration just never ends... Bravo!

Foster, I'm sorry this LP is now out of stock at Elusive Disc. Slipknot and another member of our local audio group just ordered it last week, but I was afraid that whatever supply Elusive Disc might have was limited. I've seen LPs from this series show up every now and then on Mikrokosmos' monthly lists.

I too am sorry to hear that Elusive disc is listing it as OS. I must have gotten one of the last copies. Mine arrived within 3 days of placing the order. "Il Cornetto" is indeed a very delicate recording. I really allows you to hear texture and tonal shading of these early instruments if your system is resolving of this kind of intricate detail.

Thank you again gentlemen, I will keep looking around and they will show up eventually. I'm sure that it is just a matter of time until one surfaces. I appreciate very much knowing that they are out there, thanks to you. In doing a little research I have know read about six records in this catalog. And all is not lost, apparently I have the last copy elusive disc had of the German harpsichord music coming my way. I look forward to that. Best regards, Foster

"Il Cornetto" - after all the discussion, I had to pull it out for a listen!
