gregs45s SUBS 20th Oct 2023		Classical Item (Homayoun Shajarian) همایون شجریان - شوق دوست (Showghe Doost) (2004)	[YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 20th Oct 2023		Classical Item (Homayoun Shajarian) همایون شجریان - شوق دوست (Showghe Doost) (2004)	This one was fun to enter;) I have unashamedly copied from here, so, if there are any mistakes please excuse as the copy and paste gets confusing when reading right to left;), i have tried to add the English name where possible, but unsure of the English translation of the album title.(check that, it appears to be "Showghe Doost") It's great stuff though, traditional music with amazing vocals.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Oct 2023		Classical Item Schola Cantorum Of Oxford · Oxford Camerata · Jeremy Summerly - Fauré: Requiem, Messe Basse, Cantique De Jean Racine · Vierne: Andantino · De Séverac: Tantum Ergo (1994)	With a nod to Gill Sans, a couple more scans added of the reissue.
gregs45s SUBS 9th Oct 2023		Classical Item Alexis Ffrench - Dreamland (2020)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Oct 2023		Classical Item Russian National Orchestra, Mikhail Pletnev - Tchaikovsky (1999)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 1st Oct 2023		Classical Item Orchestra Sinfonica Di Baden Baden, Ernest Bour - Mozart (1996)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed. feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 26th Sep 2023		Classical Item Lazar Berman - The Legendary Lazar Berman Plays Liszt (1976)	A curious one, this was a joint release by Columbia and the Russian label Мелодия (Melodiya), but, for some reason the album artwork was printed with "Columbia / Melodiya" (a mistake in the first place??), which has then had every mention of "Columbia" subsequently covered over with "CBS" stickers, even to the point of using a marker to cross out the smallprint on the back. This is the first time i've come across these circular "CBS" stickers on a label, here's what the normal labels and cover looked like I've added all three labels here, but, if you want to change it to just "CBS / Melodiya" that's fine too
gregs45s SUBS 26th Sep 2023		Classical Item Halida Dinova - Concert In St. Petersburg (2006)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 20th Sep 2023		Classical Item Christophe Rousset, Ewa Małas-Godlewska, Les Talens Lyriques - Farinelli (1994)	The things people do for music ;)
gregs45s SUBS 18th Sep 2023		Classical Item Südwest-Studioorchester, Heribert Münchner - Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (1988)	With a nod to tiggerhans/leonard, a couple of more scans added. (the Disc is a plain silvered affair with black text)
gregs45s SUBS 18th Sep 2023		Classical Item Südwest-Studioorchester, Heribert Münchner - J.S. Bach, Brandenburgische Konzerte	Interestingly, (or not;), The following info on Discogs ... Südwest-Studioorchester = "Fictitious orchestra. The advantages of using existing recordings, but crediting nonexistent entities, hardly need explaining." Heribert Münchner = "Conductor - probably fictitious, given his presence alongside bogus artists like Alfred Scholz on (it seems) all his appearances here."
gregs45s SUBS 8th Sep 2023		Classical Item Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert Von Karajan - Beethoven	Looking at the Deutsche Grammophon entries on Classical World it appears that there are LABEL entries for ... Deutsche Grammophon Privilege Deutsche Grammophon Accolade Deutsche Grammophon Resonance... I don't think these should be listed as "labels" as i think they are all series names, i.e, the label should be just Deutsche Grammophon and the series name added as a tag as i have just done with this one, thoughts?
gregs45s SUBS 4th Aug 2023		Classical Item David Golub, London Symphony Orchestra, Wyn Morris, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky - Rachmaninov	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 30th Jul 2023		Classical Item I Solisti Delle Settimane Internazionali Di Napoli, Salvatore Accardo - Vivaldi (1989)	As i'm fairly new to Classical music, i imagine that there are many, many versions of The Four Seasons and, i can only say that of the few that i've heard so far, this one is my current favourite. The tonal quality of the Stradivari violins is excellent (especially on headphones), and, the fact that Salvatore is obviously a real talent makes this one stand out for me.
gregs45s SUBS 25th Jul 2023		Classical Item Janusz Wawrowski, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Gregorz Nowak - Phoenix (2021)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Jul 2023		Classical Item Luca D'Alberto - Exile (2018)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans. (Neo-Classical, part Electronic) [YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 28th Jun 2023		Classical Item English Chamber Orchestra, Philip Ledger - J. S. Bach (1987)	@LaurenceD Thanks for that, good sleuthing! "The Château de Marly painted by Pierre-Denis Martin in 1724."
gregs45s SUBS 27th Jun 2023		Classical Item English Chamber Orchestra, Philip Ledger - J. S. Bach (1987)	Out of interest, does anyone know if the fine pallatial group of buildings depicted on the front cover were actually real/existed?, and, if so, where was/is it?, presumably a country with a warm climate as it's the first time i think i've seen a "bathing"? pool for horses:) (there is no information about artist or location of the painting in the booklet/artwork)
gregs45s SUBS 10th Jun 2023		Classical Item Ambache Chamber Orchestra And Ensemble, Diana Ambache - Louise Talma : The Ambient Air (2005)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 5th Jun 2023		Classical Item Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert Von Karajan - Johann Strauss Jnr.:Emperor Waltz,etc.	With a nod to MR B PAGE, some scans added of a reissue, there have been at least 6 (European) issues using this Cat No., although i could not find one with English titles, maybe the details here were taken from the release with German - English titles (in bold type)?.
gregs45s SUBS 29th May 2023		Classical Item Dawn Upshaw, London Sinfonietta, David Zinman - Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (1992)	With a nod to doormanperdomo, another scan added. (a good "Ambient" (type) album)
gregs45s SUBS 19th May 2023		Classical Item Steve Reich And Musicians - Drumming (1987)	:) Yes, a bit too minimal even for me, so straight on ebay;). I did enter the artists as "Steve Reich, Steve Reich And Musicians" as that is how it is on the artwork and Disc, but someone changed it, (it's listed that way on Discogs as well)
gregs45s SUBS 13th May 2023		Classical Item The Sixteen, Harry Christophers - The Flower Of All Virginity (1993)	I was going to add a linked release ( Coro - COR16018), but then realised you don't have a linked release option available yet on Classic Music World, so i've linked it via "see also".
gregs45s SUBS 5th May 2023		Classical Item Francesco D'Avalos, Philharmonia Orchestra - Schubert (1988)	@Gill Sans Yes, tagging with series names will no doubt become more important as many more entries are added, i try to add a series tag where i can if appropriate. There seems to be a debate on Discogs as to whether "ASV Digital" is a sub-label of ASV or a series.
gregs45s SUBS 4th May 2023		Classical Item Dustin O'Halloran, Gyða Valtýsdóttir, Kira Kira - Sundoor 196 Hz (2019)	Unusual single sided album with a maze etched on reverse (as in image 3281606). Heavyweight vinyl
gregs45s SUBS 2nd May 2023		Classical Item Francesco D'Avalos, Philharmonia Orchestra - Schubert (1988)	I note that this is the first entry of an ASV "Quicksilva" series CD, of which there appear to be 100 plus (I've added this one to Discogs)
gregs45s SUBS 2nd May 2023		Classical Item Nils-Erik Sparf, The Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble - Antonio Vivaldi (1985)	Very good Production/sound quality on this one, along with some great Violin from Nils-Erik Sparf (Violin = Cornelius Kleyman, Amsterdam c. 1680, Bow = W. Baumann, Amsterdam) .
gregs45s SUBS 30th Apr 2023		Classical Item Soviet Radio Symphony Orchestra - Liszt: Les Préludes (1963)	With a nod to whitewhale 1965, a set of scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 30th Apr 2023		Classical Item Andrés Segovia - Segovia Plays Bach (1965)	With a nod to whitewhale 1965, a set of scans added.
