What are you listening to now?

[Chris]

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where you can get all of Stravinsky's works on CD, but not all of Handel's.

I don't believe the set includes all of Stravinsky's works. However, I could certainly live in that world! But, again, I could live in a world with a set of Handel's complete works, as well.

[Roehre]

Today:

Stravinsky:
Jeux de Cartes

Schubert:
Symphony no.9 in C D.944

Nono:
Fragment- Stille, An Diotima (1979)

Well, I would. But for your information and your peace of mind, there are still genuine stravinskyan works not available on CD, and the 22CD set is a good introduction, but contains some notable gaps, especially in the chamber music. E.g. the Concertino is only represented by its instrumental form, not the original string quartet. The smaller religious choral works are only recorded in their later latinized form, though originally set to Russian-orthodox texts. Half of the piano-solo-music is missing (the sonata e.g.), not to mention a mistake in the editing of the Movements for piano and orchestra. The songs are incomplete, and Petrushka is only in its 1947 version recorded (plus the "suite"). Divertimento is lacking, as are the Bach arrangements from Stravinsky's last years.
