Gill Sans SUBS 23rd Jan 2025		Schloss Schönbrunn Orchester Schloss Schönbrunn Konzerte Orangerie Schönbrunn	Thanks Greg, I've changed the label as appropriate. Maybe we'll know one day.

gregs45s SUBS 22nd Jan 2025		Schloss Schönbrunn Orchester Schloss Schönbrunn Konzerte Orangerie Schönbrunn	@Gill Sans Hi, thanks for completing the entry, looks much better. (Still sealed so i can't check the Disc as it's going on ebay;) Discogs has this entry, which uses the same Cat No., and there's no indicators on that Disc, just CSM Productions in the run out, so, still unsure of label, there is mention of "WKE Konzert & Eventveranstaltungs GmbH", but WKE is not on my release. So, it is the Vienna Philharmonic which usually does the new year concert from Vienna, i see. Here's what Discogs has to say about the Schloss Schönbrunn Orchester... " The Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra is a traditional Viennese chamber orchestra that formed in 1997. Since May 1, 2016, the orchestra's performances have been produced by WKE Konzert & Eventveranstaltungs GmbH. In the Orangerie Schönbrunn in Vienna, Austria, the Schönbrunn (or Schoenbrunn) Palace Orchestra plays the most famous works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss every evening and is accompanied by solo vocalists. The orchestra has also performed internationally. Can also appear as "Schönbrunner Schlossorchester"." ("EVERY evening" ?, blimey!.)
Gill Sans SUBS 21st Jan 2025		Schloss Schönbrunn Orchester Schloss Schönbrunn Konzerte Orangerie Schönbrunn	Any clues on the disc? This has been issued on Preiser in June 2013. The New Year's concert from Vienna was played on BBC TV by the Vienna Philharmonic under Riccardo Muti, while on Radio 3 it was by the (Austrian) ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra, Vienna conducted by Joana Carneiro. BBC TV Radio 3
Redpunk SUBS 21st Jan 2025		Nikolai Demidenko Chopin Four Ballades, Piano Sonata No. 3	Added booklet, tray and disc scans.
gregs45s SUBS 21st Jan 2025		Schloss Schönbrunn Orchester Schloss Schönbrunn Konzerte Orangerie Schönbrunn	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans. Could someone attribute the tracks to their respective composers, as, i don't know much about classical composers at the mo as none are attributed on the artwork, just "Komponiert von Johann Strauss und W.A.Mozart". Curiously, this does not match the entry on Discogs with the same Cat No., as it has different artwork. Unsure of label also as IMaGE is not a label as far as i can see?, and CSM is just the manufacturer, so have left it blank for the mo. Is this the orchestra that plays in the Orangerie Schönbrunn in Vienna and is on the telly as the new year concert?
Gill Sans SUBS 15th Jan 2025		Royal Philharmonic Orchestra The Sunday Express Sampler Album	@ppint. - Not quite, there's at least one other on Classical World. The others you refer to seem to be 'Relaxing' CDs of Atmospheric Moods and Sounds of Nature.
gregs45s SUBS 15th Jan 2025		Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Christopher Seaman The Royal Philharmonic Collection · Delius	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
Gill Sans SUBS 15th Jan 2025		Clare College Chapel Choir Tudor Anthems; From The Oxford Book Of Tudor Anthems	Mistaken composer credit for Mundy on the track listing, corrected on the video: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 14th Jan 2025		Ensemble Mediolanum The Purcell Brothers Daniel And Henry; Chamber Music	The styles of the two brothers are closely matched, and there is some uncertainty about whether Daniel completed some of Henry's scores. The Rondo from the Keyboard Suite In D Major is very familiar as the theme from Henry's Abdelazer suite, which was used with variations for Britten's "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra". [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 13th Jan 2025		Hana Blažíková, Collegium Marianum A Lily Among Thorns: Czech Marian Music	Michna z Otradovic's poetry and Christmas songs were strongly influenced by the Jesuits of Bohemia. Here is his simple tribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 13th Jan 2025		Various Artists Editor's Choice December 2001	Now we need someone to play the 'competition' tracks to Shazam so we can credit the composers and performers!
Redpunk SUBS 11th Jan 2025		Enrico Caruso Pagliacci	Added label scan with Nymph.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 11th Jan 2025		Adrian Boult Wagner: Overtures & Preludes	The inlay has some incorrect credits: New Philharmonica Orchestra & London Philharmonica Orchestra (corrected on insert)
gregs45s SUBS 10th Jan 2025		Oxford Camerata, Jeremy Summerly Machaut: La Messe De Nostre Dame - Songs From Le Voir Dit	With a nod to leonard, a rear tray artwork minor variation added ("www.hnh.com" above barcode). All else matches the scans shown exactly.
MR B PAGE 9th Jan 2025		Jane Parker-Smith Favourite Organ Masterpieces	Originally Released on Vinyl in 1973 for EMI/MFP-MFP 57006-under the title Favourite Organ Masterpieces. Album Liner Notes by W.A. Chislett.
Gill Sans SUBS 8th Jan 2025		Various Artists The Planets	This is a compilation of performances originally issued on Vinyl albums; the credited performers may have recorded them more than once. For example, The Perfect Fool appeared on two Decca albums in 1955 and 1947 which may have been of the same performance, though the later album does not show a copyright date.
Gill Sans SUBS 6th Jan 2025		Salon-Orchester Walzer (Joh. Strauß)	The composer credit for Dorfschwalben (aus Österreich) is inaccurate, this was by Josef Strauß.
Gill Sans SUBS 1st Jan 2025		Juan Diego Flórez Sacred Songs	Flórez sounds as handsome as he looks, and has star status in Peru. Here he sings some operatic favourites, beautifully recorded with the excellent orchestra under Paulo Vero. As an example, the popular solo from Handel's Messiah: [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 31st Dec 2024		Winchester Cathedral Choir, David Hill John Tavener: Thunder Entered Her	This set shows us Tavener at his most intense, and, yes, Thunderous. My copy has just arrived in the post, so I have been listening to it, one track at a time because it is not something you can have on in the background. The dynamics of the title track, for instance, take the organ and choir from pp to fff. By complete coincidence, I opened YouTube to look for this track and was greeted with a tribute upon the death of tenor William Kendall a week ago. Let this track also serve as a tribute to Kendall. [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS 30th Dec 2024		The German Bach Soloists Bach Concerto Transcriptions	I think that "Three Centuries Of Musick" is a label series, with Peerless as the label. The sleeve shows an association also with the Oryx label, though the catalogue number for this record is clearly for "3 Centuries" and is quite different from the Oryx numbers. Perhaps we should leave this under Peerless until we see other entries for either label?
Gill Sans SUBS 30th Dec 2024		Grove Hill School Concert Band The Grove Hill School Concert Band	'Concert' Brass Band, performing a mix of pops and light Classics.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Dec 2024		Smetana Quartet Beethoven: String Quartets Op.18 Nos. 3, 6	This appears to be a reissue of the 1978 LP: Denon (Japan) OX-7138-ND Recorded: Prague, May 1978
gregs45s SUBS 29th Dec 2024		Sir Malcolm Sargent, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Smetana - Má Vlast	Hi PhilMH, Yes, i see where you're coming from, but, Discogs seems to think that the appearance of the little cherub on the record indicates the label Angel Records, even if it has no text beneath. See here (read "show more"), in which case, shouldn't it then just be be Angel? (if we are going to ignore EMI being the parent as you suggest)(also see LC0110 label code).
PhilMH SUBS 29th Dec 2024		Sir Malcolm Sargent, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Smetana - Má Vlast	I would just call it EMI, Greg, as the word Angel doesn't actually appear anywhere - that was typically only used on releases in the Americas and Far East. Where the EMI logo appears in conjunction with another recognised label brand like Columbia, Parlophone, HMV, Stateside, Capitol, etc. then just use that label brand, and not EMI/Columbia, etc; the EMI logo was only used to indicate that the label was part of the EMI group, and EMI was only a label where no other label logo (as distinct from series logo) was present.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 28th Dec 2024		Thomas Lorango Richard Wagner: Original Piano Works	Thomas Lorango: born June 8, 1959; died Dec 30, 1992.
Redpunk SUBS 26th Dec 2024		The Ackroyd Trio And Grosvenor Quintette	Yes I left the typos on 78RPM world but corrected them for this world, there are more 78's on this label supposedly but this is the first one I've managed to find in 40 years of collecting.
Gill Sans SUBS 26th Dec 2024		The Ackroyd Trio And Grosvenor Quintette	A couple of typos on this one-off label: "Oppenbach", and "Rubenstein".
