Back yesterday in the largest records store in the city, la Fnac.
Well, shelfs was much more empthy....
many classic new CD's boxes have been bought by music collectors :
Camille Saint-Saëns, Carl Böhm and Wilhelm Furtwängler included.
Hope they restock and make them again available.

Thanks to this Jackinnj thread 🙂 I am interested by Conductors interactions with Orchestra.
After few videos with old generation Maestros I asked my self about this musical culture and his future.
In France Pierre Boulez has creating IRCAM ( Institute of the Research , Collaboration Acoustic with Music )
and much more Boulez: Lucerne Festival Academy Documentary (English Subtitles) - YouTube

I too enjoy hearing how it was before music became as highly commercialised as it is now. What have we lost and what have we gained?

Video about this project, sound sources for high definition new remastering etc.

We have lost diversity and skill at cheap price. We have gained mediocre and it requires less effort but costs more money.

Today happy back at home from local Montpellier record shop with Augustin André Cluytens " The Complete Orchestral & Concerto Recordings".

I feel lucky 🙂 Remastered by the same team Art & Son Studio Paris peoples who made new Wurtwängler "complete recordings ".

Highly recommended collection

Nice. Not a conductor I know much about. I will have to do some listening.

Stereo are better to my taste and César Franck " Rédemption " are one good example what music we can find inside etc.
Yes sound old school but younger = modern compared to early Toscanini and Furtwängler records.

Maurice Ravel " Miroirs " eng. " Mirrors " Excellent

 

[Soundhappy]

Charles Munch with Boston Complete are interesting for sure..
I like Eugen Jochum and....Pierre Boulez " Ravel " interpretations and sound quality is one of the best modern versions imho.

+ Mahler full cycle on single Blu- Ray Disc.. the future equivalent of large CD's box probably..

I personally like box sets.

What's a box set ever done to anyone?
In my experience a proper box set provide a fair bit of quality music, no shame in buying one.

Yes and after the first one collection grow expotentially Cheers 🎼 🎶🎵

I have nearly all of the DG beethoven 150 set on vinyl. 15 boxes. I started collecting the mercury living presence box sets and ran out of shelf space. I have to avoid the brilliant classics website for fear for my wallet 😀

@ Billshurv
,
Collecting vinyls format as well but quickly this take a lots of more space in the room
on CD my favorite label is Ricercar specialist of the classic ancient and baroque music periods

Some nice stuff there. Have you tried dutton? https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/ I have some CDs of Rachmaninov playing his own music restored off the old acoustic recordings.

 

[Soundhappy]

Thanks Billshurv for duttonvocalion label link 🙂 this albums are exotica in France,
make me think about similar Italian label https://uraniarecords.com/categoria-prodotto/strumentale/sinfonica/
Buy classical records without listen some audio samples can be a waste of time and money,
so I don't after not satisfying purchases in the past.
Actually I feel confident but always humble and try learn.."perfect" music records is an art and rare.
