Are there any HIP recordings of Leonore III or Egmont?

I know at least three HIP recordings of Coriolan: Savall, Bruggen, and Gardiner (all three are excellent). And Gardiner recorded Leonore II as a part of his complete recording of the opera.

For Egmont: Immerseel (Anima Eterna) Goodman (Hanover Band), and
Hogwood, and Bruggen(Orch 18th C.) and Norrington (London Classical
Players) in their first cycles.

It depends on your definition of 'HIP'.
Harnoncourt recorded those overtures, with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

Thanks. My post mentioned several of those. No HIP recordings of Leonore
III? Too bad.

A puzzling fact, IMO, as Leonore III, Egmont and Coriolan must be the
most famous of his ouvertures. We have about 10 or so complete cycles of
the symphonies on period instruments, about 5 of the piano concerti, but
only a few ouvertures (Prometheus is also as a filler on Norrington I,
IIRC). It may be the CD's fault, because you can fit the symphonies on 5
discs without too many fillers...

So why not count Harnoncourt in?
He recorded all above mentioned overtures, excepted Die Weihe des Hauses.
All on a single CD.

And Zinman uses period brass and tympani, so he should certainly be
counted, IMO.

But Harnoncourt should not be counted?

Why do you ask if you don't know why people answer questions?
What about this being a newsgroup about recordings of classical music?
You've never seen that people are willing to answer questions in newsgroups?
Such behaviour was very usual.

Why indeed, when it is put so rudely and peremptorily, i.e. in Mr.

You must be kidding.
Rudely?
Peremptorily?
Did you actually read my question?
Have a look at all the questions by the very nice M forever you're always

I'll ignore the part about Michael as I'm not sure I ever answer his
questions--assuming he does such a thing as ask a question. Let me
suggest how you might have phrased *your* question so as to have
obtained a response:

Me: And Zinman uses period brass and tympani, so he should
certainly be counted, IMO.

You: But Harnoncourt should not be counted?

How about instead: "Would you include Harnoncourt, given that he employs
similar brass and tympani?"

or

"What do you think about Harnoncourt, who talks in the interview booklet
about certain period techniques he employs?"

Either of these (or many other formulations) would be fine; what you
wrote was exactly as I described--rude and peremptory, and thus I
declined to answer.

Making such ridiculous problems (and coming with such ridiculous demands you
*never* use for other participants) about my question only testifies of not
*wanting* to answer.

Anyway: Harnoncourt is more HIP (imo) than Zinman.

Hardly. I can think of at least a dozen reasons why Bob, or anyone

Bob hit "reply" to Gerard's message but then ignored Gerard's comment
and addressed himself to Terry instead. This isn't the best newsgroup
etiquette, but, as we know, it is a common mistake to make, with no
harm intended.

However, I can see why Gerard would be a bit peeved. This was the
second time in the thread that his question about why Harnoncourt's
recording doesn't count as HIP was shoved aside without response.

I can only answer Gerard with my own 2 cents, which is: I didn't
mention Harnoncourt's recording because I was about 90% certain the
original poster would not count the modern-instrument as HIP, and
therefore the question was as much (maybe mostly) about use of "period
instruments" as it was about style or interpretation.

Apologies for my confusion about whose comment I was replying to; I
thought it was Terry. My error. FWIW, if HIP means instruments then
neither H nor Z qualify (well, maybe partly); if it means style and
interpretation, then both are on the HIP spectrum, though I'm not sure
who is closer to 'The Real Thing', whatever that is--IF it is.
