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 |
Khachaturian's "Gayaneh Ballet", Tjeknavorian/NPO, RCA RL25035 (excellent job by recording engineer Bob Auger, English pressing) "Il Cornetto" - after all the discussion, I had to pull it out for a listen! Creedence Clearwater Revival, selections from the 45 rpm reissue box set from Analogue Productions. . |
R_f I understand your disappointment in not being able to acquire a record that has so many high recommendations. However to help you regain heart I recommend pursuing a number of the recordings on Harmonia Mundi that Rushton has written about over the course of these post. Many show up frequently on ebay and in used record stores. He occasionally mentions recordings on that label by the Clemencic Consort and his evaluations of those disk are spot on. I think you will find that series quite enjoyable from both a musical and audiophile perspective. Rene Clemencic specializes in playing various flutes and recorder some quite old and unusual he being a collector of this instrument. The Clemencic Consort, of which he is founder and director, performs music of the medieval, Renaissance and baroque periods on authentic instruments. The cover of HM 497 "De Hongrie Et De Transylvanie" by the Clemencic Consert has a picture of some unusual looking instruments the musicians are playing. Incidentally this is a record Rushton had on his turntable in an earlier post no too long ago. If you browse back through some of Rushton's post you will see various selections from this label. I would begin pursuing them now as I feel they still show up regularly enough on ebay to acquire, however I don't think many of the more popular from this series will continue to be so easy to find. Regards, |
