Sadly, that megalomaniac lunatic has "expired" his upload. No matter. Is there any other uploader anywhere on the internet who provides poor quality uploads, demands gratitude before permitting even one note of music to be heard by anybody, deletes his files after ten days and refuses to accommodate anybody who has missed his bizarre "deadline", has a list of rules and regulations as long as your arm over what one can do with his rip thereafter, and insults (referring to them as "parasites") or ignores anybody who finds this distasteful?

First of all, thank you much Oh Great & Wondrous Big K for this offering.

…. and after introducing zillions & zillions to Kaczmarek’s rare Quo Vadis I pulled the plug on requests. I was getting pooped-out on that one. Otherwise, everyone, and I mean everyone who Private Messaged me for any link always thanked me, offered chocolates or told me I had priddy eyes (as requested).

As an aside, There is a wonderful NAXOS recording (8.554323):

Warsaw Concerto and other Piano Concertos from The Movies.

Jack Beaver: The Case of the Frightened Lady 1940
Rosza: Spellbound
Nino Rota: The Glass Mountain 1948
Richard Rodney Bennett: Murder on the Orient Express 1974
Hubert Bath: Love Story 1945
Bernard Herrmann: Hangover Square 1945
Charles Williams: While I Live 1947
Leonard Pennario: Midnight on the Cliffs 1956
Richard Addinsell: Dangerous Moonlight 1941

It’s cheap. Go buy it.

I wonder how �Jack Beaver: The Case of the Frightened Lady 1940� would sound

I haven’t been overly thrilled with that Naxos disc – I bought it many years ago. The orchestra is unremarkable (the RTE Concert Orchestra is hardly world class) and under-rehearsed, and the whole thing just feels a bit sluggish to me. The selection is good and the disc is stupidly good value as is to be expected with Naxos… but I don’t think it stands as anything genuinely remarkable.

The problem with the NAXOS Cds is that some are excelent and others very bad or even crap, so You can�t trust the label
blindly like, say, deutsche gramophone, intrada or varese, just to name a few.

You can’t trust DG all the time, I don’t trust Varese one iota. Intrada are pretty good, but they’ve only ever done re-issues which, provided you don’t arse up the mastering a-la Varese, it’s a bit hard to muck up.

Naxos try their best – and they’re cheap! It’s no overstatement to say that if Naxos hadn’t existed, I would never have been able to indulge my love of classical music to the extent that I have. Granted, some of those 80s sweatshop recordings are now collecting dust on my shelf I don’t play any more… but without them I may have given up all together.

I remember walking around in record shops in my very early teens in despair at the shelves stacked with EMI, DG, Decca, Chandos, etc… all gorgeous and all completely out of my price range. Yeah, there were other cheapie labels around – some even cheaper than Naxos, but they burned me many times before, the artists were Z-list to Naxos’ B-list, and predictably they only really covered done-to-death repertoire. If you wanted Ravel’s Bolero, Strauss’ Blue Danube, and Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik performed by the Baghdad Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Saddam Hussein, you were in business. If not, you were stuffed.

Naxos at �4.99 versus EMI at �14.99 was the difference for me between having one new CD every two weeks and having one every two MONTHS. As a young collector just starting out, it was a Godsend. My pocket money was �5 a week – so every two weeks I spent �5 on a new CD and �3 on the bus fare up to London to buy it, and put the leftover �2 aside so every SIX weeks I could afford *two* Naxos discs on my shopping trip! 😉

I miss those days. And I’m sad that the young people of today will not know that feeling.

Anyway, I digress. Sorry, getting nostalgic in my old age (28)! 😉

I think Tangotreats is suffering from a bilious attack. 😉 Have always enjoyed this disc. Beaver’s ‘Portrait of Ilsa’ from The Frightened Lady is a very, deeply romantic piece that could easily give the Warsaw Concerto a run for its money with a terrific concluding crescendo. The piano plays a role in the film, with Marius Goring (Red Shoes, A Matter of Life & Death) as a schizophrenic, psychopath aristocrat- and good at the piano which offers him some respite from murdering people. Evidently Beaver also is responsible for the score (though no credit was given) of Hitchcock’s The Thirty-Nine Steps.

I do not think ANY label can be trusted. It is the performance that counts. The Naxos recording of Howard Hanson’s Symphony No.1, The Nordic is THE BEST I have ever heard (the Delos recordings by Scwartz of all of Hanson’s music are just AWFUL). Their piano offerings of the tragic Geirr Tveitt are superlative even compared to the same compositions offered by the more expensive BIS label. And Naxos has taken CHANCES… introduced so many unheard/unknown American composers. While I enjoy other recordings of Gerald Finzi’s haunting work (which is distributed willy-nilly in collections on other labels) a little more than Naxos’ efforts, I am thrilled that they offer so much of what is so little of this composer and thus bringing him, deservedly, better into the public light.

Bilious? Thanks a lot, buster! 😛

(the Delos recordings by Scwartz of all of Hanson’s music are just AWFUL)

Aren’t they! Really, really drab. Then again, I’m not much of a fan of the Naxos Nordic, either. For Hanson, I just can’t enjoy anything but his own Mercury recordings from the 1950s. They capture something amazing that no other performance since has approached matching.

Naxos introduced me to Finzi all those years ago. The Cello Concerto is just glorious.

See? Naxos worked for you with Finzi! But his Dies Natalis sung by Wilfred Brown and the orchestra conducted by Christopher Finzi is STUNNING!!!!!

I really don’t know what was going on with the Seattle Symphony recordings of Hanson’s work. Drab indeed! Not only were they lackluster and paint by the numbers the sound was seemingly muffled (Naxos now owns those recordings… isn’t THAT a kick in the pants?) The best recording of Hanson’s masterful ‘Romantic’ remains the Gerhardt recording (used in Alien). Hanson himself said he heard his music unlike he had heard it before due to Gerhardt’s effort.

That’s MISTER Buster…. bub. 😉

Thank you for this CD. I have the other "Warsaw Concerto" disc, which was expired in ten days. If needed, I could post a FLAC version.

Thank You so much, kobalski! 🙂

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Now if someone could just reupload the version from this thread (Thread 95188), with "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" and "Tom Brown’s Schooldays," my Richard Addinsell collection would be near complete</span> 😉
bishtyboshty fulfilled my wish 🙂

Thank you very much.

I’ve always loved the ‘Warsaw Concerto’ from the 1941 film ‘Dangerous Moonlight’. I even studied the piano up to Grade 8 level just so I could play it! The one composition Richard Addinsell will always be remembered for 🙂

Love all of Adinsell’s scores – can anyone re-up the expired one?

Thanks again, Kobalski!

Yeah, thanks a lot! I was searching the Southern Rhapsody for long.

Thanks~.

Thanks! 🙂
