Nonesuch is a gold mine for American contemporary classical music recordings. Much of their contemporary music catalog was recorded by the outstanding producer and recording engineer team of Joanna Nickrenz and Marc Aubort, and then mastered by Robert Ludwig at Sterling. I will purchase any LP recorded by Nickrenz and Aubort because I'm confident of being in for a sonic treat even if the music is unknown. And the artists who recorded contemporary music for Nonesuch were really quite good: The Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, The New Jersey Percussion Ensemble, Speculum Musicae, the divine Jan DeGaetani... I used to be able to pick up used Nonesuch contemporary music recordings under $2. Now many of them are priced over $10 and a few (such as the Varese, Nonesuch 71269) over $20, but still not "expensive" as these things go, I suppose. . |
