[f_minor] I wonder what happened to...

[Brett Allen-Bayes]

Thanks Stephanie,

 

I've ordered the edition from a company in the UK who say they have it in
stock. Mind you Amazon (US) has a release date of October 31 listed. I did
email them after not receiving the set upon initial release and was told it
was on back order. Now according to Amazon; it's being released late next
month. I guess I'll keep both orders open for the moment. Thanks for the
advice, Stephanie! Let's hope the Schwarzkopf sessions and orchestral disc
(Scriabin and Sibelius) are released. Mind you, I'm amazed at how soon after
Dame Elisabeth's death SONY has chosen to release this material. I have a
letter from Gould's producer for the sessions (Paul Myers) somewhere who
explained that it was the notoriously bullying Legge (EMI producer and
Schwarzkopf's husband) who terminated the sessions. "The guy's barking mad"
though, Strauss himself was often known to ad lib when accompanying singers
in his lieder. I'll have to find the letter (dating from the early 90s) and
share it.

 

Many thanks,

 

Brett

Brett, I ordered it from a site in Germany who already shipped it to me. If
you want the link, let me know. I am not sure if they have any left,
however. :/

I also preordered these titles from Amazon. I'm particularly concerned about
the Bach Edition as I've not received a warning email. According to Amazon
it was on preorder, then I was told it was on back order, and NOW I'm told
it will be released next month (October). One would have thought the SONY
would have known of the number of Amazon's preorders months prior to the
Edition's release. And now Mozart has gone the same way. It's just not good
enough!!

How Mozart Became A Bad Composer? It is totally unavailable now it seems.
Sony also released only a small amount of the GG Bach Collection special
edition and I received a warning e-mail that I might not receive it.
Fortunately, it was shipped to me a few days ago. Why is this a trend with
GG products?
