Seconded; I prefer it to Bernstein. I'm also fond of the Rach
Symphonic Dances.
Personal faves: Rosbaud Bruckner 7; Horvat's Shostakovich 1 & 9;
Skrowaczewski's Ravel; Markevitch's Nielsen 4; almost anything by
Laredo-Kalichstein-Robinson.

music in it that's not available elsewhere! But it is also a collection like
this that also is a rather depressing reminder that there is an ocean of high-
quality American music from the last century that's going unheard and
unenjoyed.

I too found this used (and cheap) just a few months ago. It was one of my
prize Vox Boxes from the 1970s, and so it was a joy to find it again.
I second your subsidiary remark, and point out again the disservice that
(competitor) Warner Classics is doing by keeping so much of the great 20th
century music portion of the Nonesuch catalogue suppressed.

You should try hearing the Holidays Symphony of Ives by Gielen/Stuttgart
forces, on Vol II of the 50th anniversary of the Stuttgart RSO. Recorded in
1973. The Decoration Day and the Thanksgiving and / or Forefather's Day
movements utilise an edition (Peer Musikverlag GmbH, Hamburg) and
Washington's Birthday and the Fourth of July movements use an edition of
Wilhelm Hansen, Hamburg.
Live performance, and quite thrilling, especially the final movement with
chorus. I don't know the text of which they sing, but it isn't mandatory for
me. The music speaks for itself.

Some LPs that meant a lot to me at one time or other:
Candide:
Carter, Eight Etudes and a Fantasy
Ligeti, Aventures etc. (maybe the worst liner notes *ever*)
Vox:
'The Avant Garde String Quartet in the USA'
Bartok, Complete Piano Music
Prokofiev, Complete Piano Music
Turnabout:
Davidovsky, Synchronisms #6
Boulez, Le marteau sans maitre
Berio, Omaggio a Joyce
Prokofiev, Piano Sonata #7 (Richter)
Cage/ Berio/ Mimaroglu, Electronic Music
Crumb, Madrigals
Not sure how many of those I'd replace with CDs, probably about half.
I'm not near my collection at the moment, so there's probably a bunch
I'm forgetting.

>Boulez, Le marteau sans maitre
Eric, presumably you know this was reissued on CD by Adès, from whom Turnabout
licensed it. I think Adès has been swallowed up by a larger company, though,
thus making its entire catalogue (permanently?) unavailable. I doubt that Vox
will be making licensed stuff available.

Hey. If only that were the only century being suppressed! I'd like to see
them reissue a lot of their early music records from the Worcester fragments to
Josquin discs by George Hunter and the not yet totally insane Joshua Rifkin.
Precious little of the Nonesuch catalogue has been reissued on CD, the
exceptions including a couple of Carter discs and most of Jan de Gaetani's
recitals . . . and licensed stuff reissued on CD by the original owners
(Ristenpart's Bach, Boulez's first Le sacre).

Walter Klien's Mozart and most Kalichstein/Laredo/Robinson recordings (including
their new Beethoven, but that's not on Vox) probably head my list.

The Ives is on my list of favorites, too. Also the Concord String
Quartet recordings mentioned by several other posters. Here are a few
that I haven't seen mentioned:
Chopin Ballades and Polonaises (Peter Frankl)
Avant Garde Piano (Berio, Boulez. etc.; David Burge)
Martin Violin Concerto (Schneiderhan / Martin)
Brahms Clarinet Sonatas (David and Frank Glazer--the original Vox
issue came complete with miniature scores)
Aaron Rosand plays Sarasate + many other Rosand recordings of
little-known romantic works
Bartok Piano Concertos ##2 and 3 (Sandor / Gielen)
Mahler Symphonies ##1 and 9 (Horenstein) (also a 5-LP set on Vox
called "The Great Mahler Conductors" that contains Horenstein's #1,
Van Beinum's #4, Walter's pre-war #9, and Klemperer's Das Lied)
Hindemith Symphonic Metamorphoses (Moscow Phil / Kondrashin--my
favorite recording of the work)
Tcherepnin 10 Bagatelles + Shostakovich Chamber Symphony (Wuerttemberg
CO / Faerber)

I second Klien's Mozart. His Schubert is not at the same level, but
enjoyable enough as well.

I like the Mozart Sonatas, too. Also Klien's recordings with Brendel
of the Mozart 2-Piano Concerto and Sonata, and a delightful recital of
French 4-hand music including Jeux d'enfants performed by Klien and
his wife.
A propos of Simon's post, I just got the K/L/R Beethoven Trios (on
Arabseque) very inexpensively on ebay, and am enjoying them immensely.

Same here. Other nominations: the Rosand/Flissler Beethoven Violin
Sonatas are pretty good, even if the recording puts the piano a little
too far back in the mix. I'm also a fan of the NY Philomusica Mozart
discs (Wind Serenades, Complete Divertimenti) and Slatkin's Rachmaninov
series (Symphonies, Orchestral music, and Piano Concertos with Abbey
Simon)--recordings made before Slatkin became a byword for interpretive
blandness.

First performance of Boulez's First Sonata I ever heard. Burge also recorded
the 2nd Sonata but nobody would ever release it.

Yes, I have that issue. I didn't realize you were asking about items
that had not been reissued.

That set is essential for the Sessions 2nd quartet, a work of the
highest distinction. If memory serves, Peter Mennin is also
represented. I should dig up that box, which I haven't listened to in
ages (except for the Sessions, which I transferred to a CD for regular
use).
The Adagio in this quartet is sublime (of Beethoven caliber, actually
or only slightly hyperbolically).
Oh yes, here it is, what ugly artwork.... A treasure trove of music,
and the performances are adequate.
Best,
MrT

There were also at least two splendid recordings of Renaissance music on these
labels:
Josquin: Missa Pange Lingua
Pierre de la Rue: Requiem
w/Spandauer Kantorei, Martin Behrman conducting
"Music of the Early Renaissance: Dunstable and his Contemporaries" w/Purcell
Consort of Voices, Musica Reservata (performers include a young Ian Partridge)
I would kill for CD transfers from these LP's.

Although I actually said "available already or not," you attribute more method
to my madness than there is. I just think it's fun to see what interests
people, and you never know what you might find out about.
