Well, lots to catch up on.
  • ******* Brew, for starters. (Woo-hoo!)
And before that, another batch from Presto Classical, all on Pentatone:
  • Marcel Tyberg, Masses
  • Berlioz, La Damnation de Faust (Boston, Ozawa)
  • Ravel, Orchestral Works (Boston, Ozawa)
  • Stravinsky, Le Roi des Etoiles / Le Sacre du Printemps (Boston, MTT)
And finally, another QQ member's cast-offs coming to a new home (and replacing pirated ISOs):
  • Nellie McKay, Get Away From Me
  • The Who, Tommy (2004 Geffen DVD / Townshend mix)

Great choices! Curious how you feel about the Tyberg - I like the masses, but they're not on the level of his symphonies - I feel the third is a lost masterpiece.

I'm fairly sure it was you and/or @4-earredwonder who hepped me to those Boston Symphony quads, @ubertrout. They're truly fantastic.

Tyberg is brand-new to me, and since I'm a fan of the late Romantics (esp. Mahler)--much more so than the 19th-century Romantic warhorses--I'm a bit chagrined to be discovering him so late. That said, the Masses don't do much for me; too traditional, too churchy. (What was I expecting?) Still, I'd love to hear the symphonies.

Check out the 3rd, easiest to just stream it on Spotify.

He's only now being discovered, so you didn't miss him by much. I think the liner notes to the Masses go into the story.
 
SACD
Beeeetchez Brooooooo!!!! (a thing of BEAUTY!!!!)

DVDA
Billie Holiday- Lady in Satin (just so I can remember my ex-wife..AND my ex girlfriend in Boston from only 30 years ago...they BOTH love Billie.. and , well.. it stuck I guess..)
Linda Ronstadt- What's New?
(both thanks to a great member here!!! I am giving the discs a new loving home)
 
Karrin Allyson, Sweet Home Cookin' (Concord Jazz SACD-1010-6, 2003 [1994]). Lovely album; picked it up for seven bucks from an Amazon Marketplace seller. I like Allyson's style, and she's got a smart band led by Alan Broadbent at the piano. Lots of four-corner vocals (and solo instruments, for that matter), though selected supporting instruments are more discrete. Unadventurous but tasteful mix.

Apparently I am spending all the money. These all showed up today. (I was expecting the Berliner John Adams set to come on a slow boat from, I donno, Bremen, but it turns out BP Recordings are distributed by Naxos USA, so it arrived quickly. And yeah: the multi-channel content there is on Blu-Ray and hi-res download, not SACD, but I forgot there was a separate thread for Blu-Ray before I snapped the photo.)
