Gill Sans SUBS 18th Jul 2023		Classical Item Gabriel Tacchino - Poulenc: Piano Melodies (2017)	Gabriel Tacchino was the only pianist to study under Francis Poulenc and is regarded as an authority on Poulenc's intended performance style.

Gill Sans SUBS 17th Jun 2023		Classical Item Philharmonic Orchestra Of Berlin, Otto Strauss - New World Symphony	@TH - Yes, this is how Classical World operates: the emphasis here is on the musical content of the records rather than the physical format.

Gill Sans SUBS 19th May 2023		Classical Item Various Artists - Ein Reigen Schöner Melodien (1970)	Thanks WW. A bit of googling (Wikipedia) tells me that Teufelstanz was composed by Joseph Hellmsberger II, which of course now autoconverts to Joseph Hellmsberger Sr., though just why Max Schönherr is jointly credited with Hellmsberger eludes me.
Gill Sans SUBS 19th May 2023		Classical Item Steve Reich And Musicians - Drumming (1987)	Already on eBay, among loads of your interesting and inexpensive CDs - I will look out for your offers when I'm searching for something there! We don't enter Classical items quite the same ways as Discogs; as I see it Stever Reich is the composer, Steve Reich And Musicians are the performers.
