Poor Haydn.

First his symphonies are largely ignored.

Then his operas too.

And now he has lent his name to a CD pirate company.

Pierre is not a Pirate. Walter Toscanini, who buried, unsucessfully,
Cantelli's concerts in the Yale University Library, is a pirate. David
Sarnoff, who disbanded the NBC Symphony is another pirate.

I add my plaudits to Jeff, Pierre, and (I hope) many others to come. As it
happens, a Google search brought me to peruse http://www.haydnhouse.com/ a
couple of weeks ago, before the "official" opening, so I knew it was on the
way. Best wishes for success upon success.

Maybe not precisely, but I have had a thought. (Yes, it's lonely here in
my head.) We already have enough silly and ridiculous "Sir"s in this
newsgroup; I've been named one of them, so I ought to know. Perhaps it's
time for a new article of nobility, one to be borne proudly and with honor
for the preservation of true and lasting art in the face of the nitwits and
dogs-in-the-manger that infest the "business" end of the music world.

Being acquainted with some of the fine work of the above personnel, I'm
honored to be included in this Rogue's Gallery.

Not conceding for a moment that restorations of unavailable classical
repertoire is "piracy," I wonder if any remembers a number of private LP
labels that floated in and out of existence many years ago. In
particular I recall one named, rather charmingly, "Penzance." Had some
Cantelli stuff.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

I used to have the Penzance issue of the Horowitz-Szell 1953 Tchaikovsky
PC#1. I remember, about thirty years ago, drooling over a super-expensive
(to me at that time) set of Stokowski conducting Mahler's 2nd in Philly and
the 8th in New York. Now, of course, I have both; an Arkadia CD and the
New York Philharmonic's Mahler broadcast box, respectively.

There was also another, less well-known, label called "Morgan." I only
know of some otherwise hard-to-find Toscanini rehearsals.

I don't concede that either; I am using the term ironically, going by the
apparent definition of the term by a certain low-ranking churchman, now
retired, who likes to think he can preach with the fire and brimstone.

Arrrrrrr!

Thanks for the best wishes and word of support. It gives us more courage
to plow through (remaster) and de noise some very rough material at times to
make
some very great recordings find their worthy place again. Pierre is devoting
his time to live recording of classical music, (you should hear thayt
stuff!!!!!) and also to going on a well-deserved vacation. Transfer
operations will be left up to me. I've been declared the "transfer king"
at teh Haydn House. So that makes for a good email handle?

And now you've lent it to your CD piracy obsession.... I'm sure he would be
horrified that someone has seen fit to make some of the best recordings, long
out of print and never released on CD, of his music available again.

I can't speak for Haydn, but with regard to his Symphony #60, otherwise

Brusilow; and one could easily find out Mo. Brusilow's opinion that his

Think again, Simon.

Ahem...are you sure that one was done by Cap'n Oppenheim??

This is even funnier when you realize that Haydn's first "pirate" was

Not quite right, matey - Brusilow's Haydn and Cherubini were done on the
initiative of our colleague David Gideon. I did take a hand in the
accompanying Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Arensky items, providing the DAT
transfers from which the CDs were remastered.

I remastered several other recordings by Anshel Brusilow, and am happy
to report that he was very pleased with them.

Yo ho ho.

Well I'll be keelhauled! Sorry, Cap'n Gideon, I deserves what I gets. Now
that I'm not in such a hurry and can actually bother to look at the release
I see it's a ReDiscovery release, although Cap'n Oppenheim did retrieve
some of the other treasures on it.
