…for Decca’s Ernest Ansermet box, all his stereo recordings, occupying eighty-eight CDs, originally scheduled for release on April 29 is now not coming until the end of the year – I don’t know why although the above image suggests that production is done – and that in turn will presumably delay the planned “Uncle Ernie” mono box. Ansermet’s LPs (in reissue form) were a large part of my formative listening years and made a huge (and continuing) impression: Debussy, Haydn, Honegger, Ravel, Sibelius, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, and so much more…
We’ll just have to wait…
In case anyone is wondering, I cleared this post with Universal. Colin
That’s a shame, but Christmas might find someone buying me a set. I just need to drop enough hints in the right ears!
A wonderful conductor in need of being reminded of his qualities by this new set.
I have some on LP so will miss this bumper set I think.
I bet you can’t avoid temptation, Edward, and you buy the set (a “wonderful conductor” indeed), but keep the LPs, especially if they are SXLs. Col
