Walter Gieseking

[Bogey]

I started this thread in rmcr a while ago about this:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.music.classical.recordings/browse_thread/thread/274bb3911f626be0/9caa5561834dfb74?lnk=gst&q=gieseking+davidsbundlertanze#9caa5561834dfb74

Steve Emerson's contribution is interesting, but the CD he mentioned was only available at the time at Berkeshire Record Outlet. They wouldn't deliver to the UK unless the order was larger  -- so I didn't pursue it.

It's still there, for $3.99 -- if one of you yanks  buys it and sends me the FLACS I'll happily repay -- if you can think of a way to make the repayment!

Where is the link for the disc?

Gotta be one of these two: http://www.berkshirerecordoutlet.com/search.php?row=0&brocode=&stocknum=&text=Davidsbundlertanze+Gieseking+Schumann&filter=all&cd=1&submit=Search

And I bet it's the Piano Library one.

Here -- it's the Classico in  Compact Cd on this web page

Bill, if you order, can you get me one too? I will gladly reimburse you.

[Bogey]

You are not able to order it at your end, George?

Also, give me the label Cat #.

I am trying my best to minimize purchases and they have a minimum $$ amount on orders, IIRC.

This is the one that Mandryka is referring to: http://www.berkshirerecordoutlet.com/search.php?row=0&text=Gieseking+Schumann&filter=all&cd=1&Label=CLASSICO+IN+COMPACT&genre=&RPP=25&pprice=&submit=Search

Is that the one you want as well?  (Just making sure.)  (Now we just have to wait for Mandryka's reply here.)

Let me see what three would cost with shipping.

Yes, it is. It's the one that he suggested earlier in the thread.

I am at about $12....need 3 more bones.  Let me give it a look.  Are the two of you in a rush to get this one?

Stuff over there doesn't often last for long, so it's wise to buy when they have it.

OK....let me look for something that I actually want, and not buying to buy.

May I suggest this? Many here (esp Holden) would agree with me:

For Bill, I listened to this today:

[asin]B000000WN7[/asin]

Very nice Mozart, Excellent Brahms, Chopin Nocturnes at light speed  and an exciting performance of Casella's Sonatina Op. 28.

All in all, recommended.

Why?!  Why?!  Why?!  Mountain Dew had not even come out yet?

Considering this Rach in place of the one you suggested.  Any comments welcomed:

I have the Music and Arts CD that that Archipel likely pirated to make their recording. I am not sure if they made any "improvements" on the sound, but the performance didn't leave much of an impression on me. Plus, you have the best Rach 2 ever already, Richter on DG.

Yes, but for $4?

At this point in my collecting (and I think we have spoke about this) I don't buy anything for cheap prices that I wouldn't buy at full price. I have way too many great deals on my shelves that do nothing but collect dust and take up valuable real estate. 

I'd say kick in the extra few bucks (at some point) and get one of (if not) the very best recordings of the Rach 3: http://www.amazon.com/Rachmaninoff-Piano-Concertos-Sergey-Rachmaninov/dp/B0000057LA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295115382&sr=8-1

Either way, let's wait for Mandryka to chime in.  I have to get going for a bit, then tonight I can pull the trigger.  If anyone else is wanting one of these Gieseking discs, let me know.  Might as well make one order of 'em and have everyone that wants to enjoy the music.

We'll figure out costs after I total it with shipping.  If we can have one more person here to buy one, my order will be about $23 with shipping to my castle.  Let's say a few more bones for me to send them out to each of you.....probably $8 or so a pop.  Does this sound right, George?

As right as rain. Thanks much!
