[Frank Berger]

I have 38 CDs of Scherchen on DG (2 only), MCA and
Westminster. I suppose that accounts for virtually all of
the new box.

Listing at www.jpc.de claims 68 CDs (rather than 69). Most of the
contents have been available elsewhere (plus the Gliere Ilya Mourometz
that had only been issued as part of the Westminster mixed box).

I've no doubt that when this becomes available from Amazon or through
Amazon's sellers, it will still be a purchase difficult for me to justify
when most of its contents are already sitting on my shelf as earlier MCA or
DGG issues.

[Frank Berger]

Of course you meant 38 instead of 39.

[Russ (not Martha)]

No Beethoven complete 'Egmont' ?

No Brahms Symphony #1?

Russ (not Martha)

[Edward A. Cowan]

And...

No Berlioz "Les Troyens à Cartage"? --E.A.C.

[Frank Berger]

Unless I'm mistaken the Egmont was never on CD and the
Brahms was released on CD by EMI, as was Les Troyens.
Perhaps this release includes only material released on CD
already by DG, MCA or Westminster??????????

And where is the St. John Passion?:

[Jerry]

In the case of Egmont, "rights reverted to Ducretet-Thomson and were never taken up again by Westminster." (Source: A discography posted by Frank Forman in
1993 - I couldn't find a current URL for it but had saved a copy at the
time.)

It's getting difficult to track current ownership rights after rounds of mergers and acquisitions in the recorded business. The TAHRA issue of Trojans at Carthage (pub. 1995) indicated that Ducretet-Thomson was then part of EMI-France.

[Norman Schwartz]

Consider all the $ and shelf-space you saved.

[Norman Schwartz]

In some cases (not involving Scherchen recordings) when I had both MCA
Millennium and DG issues, I preferred the sound on the former. DG 'softened'
the treble too much to satisfy my hearing and taste.

[Jerry]

Slightly O-T, but this appears as good a place as any to ask.

For the Scherchen Beethoven Symphonies, there appear to be
full mono sets from Tahra (divided among three separate issues),
Archipel, and Andromeda (an Archipel subsidiary, possibly).

Any opinions on either the Archipel or Andromeda regarding the
quality of the transfer/mastering to CD?

Thanks,
Jerry

This set highlights the vast repertoire of the great conductor and features Scherchen highly influential recordings of Mahler 1, 2, 5, 7, 10 (adagio).
Remarkably good sound and exceptional conducting in these Westminster recordings.
A must for any collector of Scherchen works and discerning classic music lovers.
One of the best interpretations of classic and more adventurous masterpieces from Bach to Honegger, from Beethoven to Stravinsky, from Gabrieli to Khachaturian.
