Castor,
Looking forward to this once it comes to my locale with a decent price, but a question: how many symphonies total are there?

Hi FD,
This is the full Weingartner symphonic output. Whether we will get past number 5 remains to be seen.I certainly hope so.
Symphonies
Symphony No. 1 in G, op. 23
Symphony No. 2 in E-flat, op. 29
Symphony No. 3 in E, op. 49 with organ
Symphony No. 4 in F, op. 61
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, op. 71
Symphony No. 6 in B minor, op. 74, 'in Gedenken des 19. November 1828' (also Tragica. Second movement orchestrates, is based on sketches apparently meant for the dance/scherzo or minuet-movement of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, the B minor D759.)
Symphony No. 7, Choral op. 87 (1935–7) (in manuscript?)
If you get Volume 4, I would be interested to know if the fault on the MC layer is as I reported in my review.
I got mine from jpc 15.99€ because, as I was ordering a number of discs their fixed 6.99€ postage charge did not make the price unreasonable.
Regards,
Castor

Got this recording some days ago and about the "ominous loud cracks" from the right front-channel in the multi-channel recording of the "Lustige Ouvertüre", Mr. Williams: Have the same problem twice times at 6 min. 12 sec. and 6 min. 18 sec. and it's really VERY loud(!) and no fun to hear.
So it is'nt just a defect of your disc but propably of the whole production/multi-channel mix.

Thank you Dr. Grubert for confirming that the fault on this disc is not just on my copy.
I shall contact cpo to see whether they can help with this problem and hope that you will do the same.
Best wishes

Peter,
You have piqued my curiosity about FW previously; I've enjoyed the sound snippets on-line. Which disc/symphony is the must-have one?

If you like this sort of thing (and I do), you can't really go wrong; I'm always drawn towards orchestral works with organ so this volume would seem a good place to start! The only piece I thought a bit too rough and ready is "King Lear", but I'm ready to stand corrected; perhaps I was expecting too much from the piece a few months ago.
Actually I've also been listening to his arrangement for orchestra of the Hammerklavier recently - interesting......particularly with portamenti....

They are all quite different and all excellent ./ see reviews /If you like Mahler then vol 3....Suggest you get them all though ...Dave

Hey...
If I did not order my copy from JPC (I bought locally here in the US) what will CPO do about my copy and any others so affected???
I had not listened to the tone poem (though I have heard the Symphony No. 3) and my copy too has the cracks at 6:12 and 6:18....
Hmmmm
THANKS!!
Mark W.
