Thread: Latest Purchases

I see. What you need is the image itself on a page, like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

How you get that is by a search from here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...w=1366&bih=574

That is a google image search limited to amazon.com (whose bandwidth I am comfortable using because they must make a profit from our activities here) limited to the size 300 x 300.

Without deleting the site:amazon.com part, type in what you want, like "Gesualdo madrigali" or whatever. Then click on "Full-size image." Then take that URL (the jpg) and put it between the [IMG] and [/IMG] tags.

EDIT: Just realized that you won't know until you actually listen to it.

Gubaidulina, a recent arrival. Yes, I do prefer Danish Qt.(cpo/SQs 1 -3) over the Stamic Qt. (Supraphon/SQs 1 - 4). I bought the former after sampling both. Danish Qt., with extensive modern experience, sounded more in tune with this composer. The Stamic is more old school, seemed cautious, and is afforded less attractive recorded sound.

Cool, good to know that I have the "right" version.

Well, I won't be that bold.

Sidenotes. I haven't heard Arditti Qt.'s 3. The live Royal SQ. 2 on YT is an ass-kicking interp., but with crap sound.

I wish Pacifica Quartet would do complete packages for Schnittke and Gubaidulina.

Just ordered this:

I've only been collecting classical for six or seven months, but I am obsessed with Requiems apparently. I already have Mozart, Durufle, Faure, Cherubini in C minor, Dvorak, Britten's War Requiem and two versions of Brahm's German Requiem.

Honegger Symphonies 3 & 5, Pacific 231, with DanishNRSO/Jarvi.

Haydn Piano Sonatas (Vol. 3) with Marc-Andre Hamelin, a late May or early June release. An automatic buy for me, being a long-time sufferer of Haydn Piano Sonatas addiction.

After hearing Borodin' symphony No 1 on BBC radio 3 I bought this. Very enjoyable it is too.

Die Schonne Mullerin! I'm so excited to pop this bad boy in my stereo. Can't wait to lip sync the whole CD in the car like a boss (a weird one).

Just ordered:

I love it when I find the package at home after work.
