1093.0. "Looking for Suggestions" by NAC::P_CARSON (Formally HAVEN::CARSON) Tue Feb 23 1988 13:30

    I started doing "previous screens" to find what I was looking
    for but gave up around 900...
    
    Can anyone help suggest/recommend CD's fitting the following descriptions?
    (If they exist...)
    
    o	A collection of Scott Joplin piano rags. (Modern Recording)
    
    o	A collection of Bach pieces for the harpsicord. (SP?)
                                                 
    o	A collection of John Williams, (the conducter, not guitar player).
    	The Movie themes is what I am looking for.
    
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

1093.1"Out of this World" by John WilliamsSYSENG::COULSONRoger Coulson DTN 223-6158Tue Feb 23 1988 13:507
    I have a disk by John Williams of the Boston Pops doing several
    movie themes from space type movies (E.T., Return of the Jedi,
    Battlestar Galactica, etc).  It is called "Out of this World".
    I like it very much.

1093.2Does this help?SCOMAN::LOGSDONTue Feb 23 1988 14:0119
    Almost all of John Williams themes have been issued either by
    Soundtrack [Star Wars, ET, etc] or on a collection type basis 
    by the Boston Pops on the Phillips label. Most of his early stuff
    such as Earthquake, I have not seen. There is also a MCA Soundtrack
    Collection out which includes Williams ET, and The River Themes.
    If you want I will get you the exact titles. I have all the records
    and a few Cd,s of Williams.
    
    On the other two, you might try Publishers Centeral Buearu cataloq.
    If you don,t get it I can list the Address so you can get on their
    mailing list. 
    
    It is electronic music but I highly recommend "Bachbusters" by
    Dorsey on the Telarc Label. However I am sure that a good classical
    cd store will have Bach on Harpsicord soon.

    					Christopher Hogwood
    
1093.6These are my choice...STAR::BIGELOWBruce Bigelow, DECnet-VAXTue Feb 23 1988 14:3729
    Scott Joplin:  I have Nonesuch 9-79159-2, which isn't DDD, if that's
    what you meant by modern, but it is excellent.  Joshua Rifkin on
    the piano.  This is a distillation of 3 LPs, combined onto one CD
    with 7 of the less popular rags left off.  I believe it contains
    17 titles and is over 70 minutes long.  I love it.
    Performance: A	Sound: B+ (a little hiss, no clipping)
    
    Bach:  Any of the Bach Harpsichord stuff on Archiv by:  Trevor Pinnock
    (solo), Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert, Kenneth Gilbert
    (solo)
    
    What I can recommend are:
    
    415-112-2	Two part and Three part Intentions (K. Gilbert)
    419-426-2	Little Preludes (K. Gilbert)
    415-130-2<	Goldberg Variations (T. Pinnock)
    410-500-2	Brandenbergs 1-3 (Pinnock/TEC)
    410-501-2	Brandenbergs 4-6 (Pinnock/TEC)
    415-991-2<	Harpsichord Concerti BWV 1052-4 (Pinnock/TEC)
    415-992-2<	Harpsichord Concerti BWV 1055-8 (Pinnock/TEC)
    415-131-2	Concerti for 2 Harpsichords (Pinnock/Gilbert/TEC)
    400-041-2	Concerti for 3 & 4 harpsichords (Pinnock/Gilbert/etc./TEC)
    415-493-2	Six Partitas (T. Pinnock) (2 CDs)
    413-439-2	Well Tempered Clavier books 1&2 (K. Gilbert) (4 CDs)
    
    All of the above are DDD except the ones marked with "<", which
    are AAD, but high quality anyway.  Performance is A in all of the
    above.  Sound varies from A to B+.

    re: .-1 & .-2
    
    In general the Williams stuff on Philips is the Boston Pops
    conducted by Williams.  The Telarc's will probably be Erich
    Kunzel & the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.
    
    One of the EMI/Angel discs of Joplin is performed by Katie
    and Marielle Labeque on two pianos.  It also have some other
    ragtime music by other composers.  I think the other EMI/Angel
    disc duplicates some of the pieces for orchestra.
1093.10Titles for CDs in 1093.8? (and a possible correction)HUMAN::BURROWSJim BurrowsSun Mar 20 1988 20:1823
        RE: 1093.8
        
        Would you care to give the titles of the 5 CDs you listed the
        Scott Joplin rags off of, either here or in my note 1123, which
        I wrote before I found this discussion?
        
        The unique numbers listed in your note are:
        
		EMI CDC 7 47093 2 (C)
		EMI CDC 7 47199 2 (C)
		MCA MCAD-1625 (C)
		Nonesuch 9 79159-2 (C)
		Philips 822.406-2 (C)
        
        I definitely have one of these--the EMI 47199, which is Digital
        Ragtime. I suspect I have another of the CDs you're refeing to
        and that you typoed the number. You list Phillips 822.406-2 as
        containing "Maple Leaf Rag" as its only Scott Joplin piece. I
        have a CD--Claude Bolling's Ragtime Boogie-Woogie Jazz Classics,
        which is Phillips 822 506 2. Could you have mistyped the "5" as
        a "4"?
        
        JimB.
1093.11Attack of the Killer... Typo.COOKIE::ROLLOWBe Bad or Be Management.Mon Mar 21 1988 12:393
    You may be right about the 4/5 switch.  I'll get titles and
    double check the number tonight.  I might also have a couple
    of other Ragtime discs that don't have Joplin on them.
1093.12Typos corrected, titles listed.COOKIE::ROLLOWBe Bad or Be Management.Tue Mar 22 1988 00:2931
    In no particular order the titles are:
    
    	EMI CDC 7 47199 2 - Digital Ragtime, performed by Joshua
    		Rifkin - Wallstreet Rag ,The Southland Stingers.
    
    	EMI CDC 7 47093 2 - Gladrags, Compositions by Scott Joplin,
    		George Gershwin & Will Donaldson, James P. Johnson
    		performed on two pianos by Katia & Marielle Labeque,
    		arrangements by Francois Jeanneau.
    
    	Phillips 822.506-2 - "Ragtime Boogie-Woogie Jazz Classics",
    		Claude Bolling (yes it is 506 instead of 406).
    
    	MCA MCAD 1625 - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - The Sting.
    
    	Nonesuch 9 79159-2 - Scott Joplin Piano Rags - Performed by
    		Joshua Rifkin.
    
    Another disc that has some ragtime, but no Joplin is:
    
    	Nonesuch 79006-2 - Paul Jacobs plays Blues, Ballads & Rags,
    		American Music for Piano by William Bolcom, Aaron
    		Copland, Frederick Rzewski.
    
    Another interesting disc you might want to try:
    
    	Ivory Records IRD 9188 - Sandy Owen, Boogie Woogie, Rhythm &
    		Blues - Ensemble & Solo Piano.
     ragtime discs that didn't have any Joplin on them are:
