Il faut arrêter. Sinon ça va devenir totalement ruineux ! :D

Effectivement, ces CDs sont très peu chers. Prix généralement inférieur à 1,50 euro / disque.
Je donne ces informations car il n'est pas facile, pour ne pas dire impossible, de trouver toutes les infos (compositeurs, titres, nom des mouvements, durées, interprètes, dates d'enregistrement) sur un seul site.
Je passe souvent par des sites japonais ou russes pour compléter.
Je compense ainsi l'absence totale de livret dans ces boîtes.

Oh, c’était pour sourire un peu, car si on ajoute à ça ce que CT nous suggère ici ou là, en démon tentateur (il fait bien) - Elman, et d’autres ... - ça fait boule de neige...
Mais ce que j’en disais, c’était juste histoire de dire, comme ça, pour dire ... Ça n’a rien de crucialement essentiel. On peut tout autant ne rien dire, ça redynamise bien.
Bon allez, chut ! :coucou:

A dire vrai je me doutais un peu ; ma réponse au premier degré était aussi une façon de relancer! :bebe:

Un peu plus ruineux, seulement deux euros le disque :

Sony Classical Collects the Great Cellist’s Complete RCA and Columbia RecordingsHe has been called the greatest string player of all time. His playing, which brought tears to the eyes of the immortal Fritz Kreisler, was noted for its exceptional technical control and wide range of expression. When Richard Strauss heard Gregor Piatigorsky perform with the Berlin Philharmonic, he exclaimed, “Finally I have heard my Don Quixote as I imagined him.” Sony Classical is pleased to announce a definitive 36-CD set collecting Piatigorsky’s celebrated RCA and American Columbia recordings for the first time in a single edition. Most of the performances on the first five discs, recorded between 1940 and 1947 have never before been transferred from the original analogue master discs and tapes for release on CD. For this release, 48 recordings have been transferred for the first time from the original analog master discs and tapes using 24 bit / 192 kHz technology, more than 20 works make their first appearance on CD in this edition.Born in 1903 in what is now Dnipro, Ukraine, Piatigorsky studied with his father before entering the Moscow Conservatory. When only 15, he was invited to join Moscow’s foremost string quartet, the Lenin Quartet, and the same year he was appointed principal cellist at the Bolshoi. In 1921, he left the USSR to study in Leipzig with the renowned Julius Klengel, and in 1924 Furtwängler engaged him as principal cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic. A few years later, the cellist moved on to become a concert soloist.During the prime years of his long and extraordinarily successful career, on both sides of the Atlantic, Piatigorsky’s interpretations were documented by Columbia (in the 1940s) and RCA (in the 50s and 60s). Space permits the mention of no more than highlights from this new Sony box. In 1953, a little over a decade after the 78-rpm Columbia version of Don Quixote with Reiner in Pittsburgh, Piatigorsky revisited Strauss’s masterwork with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony, but now in an LP recording with the benefit of RCA’s “New Orthophonic High Fidelity”. Gramophone recently called it “one of the most touching and dramatic accounts ever recorded”.From 1957 come two indispensable interpretations. In the marvelous Cello Concerto that Sir William Walton composed for him, “Piatigorsky’s magnificent playing … is almost beyond praise. It was he who commissioned this concerto in the first place, and he gives the impression of loving every note of it” (Gramophone), and in a vibrant reading of Bloch’s Schelomo, “Piatigorsky approaches the score in terms of its brilliance and possibilities for exciting virtuosity, playing with juicy emotionalism and gorgeous tone” (High Fidelity). His famous version of the Dvorák Cello Concerto with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1960 “possesses a strength, humanity and recreative fervour that never pall” (Gramophone).Piatigorsky formed chamber partnerships with many outstanding musicians of the era – for example, with Artur Schnabel (for HMV) and Vladimir Horowitz; with Nathan Milstein (the 1951 Philadelphia Brahms Double Concerto recorded under Reiner is in this collection, as is Piatigorsky’s 1960 stereo version with Jascha Heifetz); and with Arthur Rubinstein (in this set: performances ranging from 1950 – Ravel, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky piano trios, with Heifetz on violin – to the Brahms Cello Sonatas from 1966).Most important of all, was the collaboration with Heifetz, his closest friend. In 1961, after finally settling in Los Angeles (Piatigorsky had moved to the US two decades earlier and become a citizen in 1942), he and Heifetz established a famous chamber series. Featuring such distinguished instrumentalists as pianist Leonard Pennario and viola player William Primrose, it led to the “landmark” (High Fidelity) recordings of Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Dvorák and Franck included in this collection, remastered from the original analogue tapes in 24-bit/192 kHz and DSD® quality. Gramophone’s reviewer has summed up their well-known virtues: “These Heifetz-Piatigorsky concerts have flown untarnished through countless reissues, on LP and CD, emerging not only as technically brilliant but as the very epitome of musical refinement. What most strikes me is the blend of drama and sweetness, inflections that can twist or turn in a millisecond, countless varieties of vibrato, and heightened dynamics. Heifetz and his team cram more expressive intensity into a single phrase than many others manage for a whole performance.”

:coucou:

A priori les 6 premiers disques sont les enregistrements Columbia.


Les disques 1, 3 et semblent inédits, si on élimine l'une ou l'autre pièces rééditées dans le coffret Membran (cd 1 en particulier).



cd 2 Don Quichotte dirigé par Reiner et Saint-Saëns par Stock (réédités dans le coffret Sony R. Strauss/Reiner et sony columbia masterworks heritage Piatigorsky)



cd 3 : accompagné par Berkowitz


Le cd n°4 a été réédité par Arlecchino ARL74 , Piatigorsky y est accompagné par Berkowitz (chez Arlecchino, il y a en plus en plus les variations Rococco enregistrées en 1925 et donc pas d'origine Columbia)



cd 6 : Dvorak& Bruch dirigés par Ormandy (réédités en collection sony masterworks heritage)

Dans les 31 cd's suivants, on y retrouve le contenu du coffret de 21 cd's : RCA Heifetz/Piatigorsky concerts

A noter que le coffret du post précédent (n°9) Heifetz/Piatigorsky concerts contient les enregistrements des trios de Mendelssohn, Ravel et Tchaikovsky avec Rubinstein

Pour rappel la version avec violoncelle de la suite italienne de Stravinsky a été rédigée par Stravinsky en compagnie de Piatigorsky lors d'une traversée de l'Atlantique en paquebot (si ma mémoire ne me joue pas des tours). En testant l'oeuvre en compagnie du compositeur, l'archet de Piatigorsky a dérapé, et l'effet sonore obtenu a été intégré dans la partition.


:coucou:

Au niveau de la notation, ça se transcrit comment, un dérapage ? :D

Rebonjour,


Pour le cd 4 : C'est Pavlovsky qui est le partenaire pour la sonate de Shostakovich


Pour le cd 6 : ce sont des enregistrements RCA me semble-t-il

Bonjour

Ce qu'il y a de sympa, c'est que les enregistrements Heifetz/Rubinstein /Piatigorsky se trouvent désormais à la fois dans l'intégrale Heifetz, dans celle consacrée à Rubinstein et dans cette nouvelle parution. Trop fort, RCA :D

Bonjour,


Finalement le coffret Piatigorsky / RCA est vendu à un prix plus que raisonnable, 1,17 EUR/ le cd sur un célèbre site de vente en ligne, peut-être pour consoler du recyclage perpétuel de certains enregistrements:siffle:
