Anything but a thrilling topic, but just out of curiosity...
What is your last CD purchase of this year?
Mine is the double CD with orchestral music by Alphons Diepenbrock (on Chandos).
Volume 1 of Rufinatscha's piano music by the Austrian pianist Karl Macourek.
Maybe Arnell's symphonies 1 and 6. But it's only 0608 here. Lots of time yet.

"It was mailed over Christmas, but the collection may well have been after the

Another one added to the wish list, thanks Mark!
I've not bought any CDs recently as I've been moving house (which explains my absence from these boards, add to that my former ISPs lack of organisation which lead to 1 month without the internet...)!

Interesting. Did you contact D K-W direct? The website is certainly not accepting orders.
Mine was nothing unsung, maybe a bit from a very sung composer.
Brahms Serenads, with Mackerras from Telarc. Arrived yesterday (finally!), bought it in October.
I think Cameo is a one-person operation so I usually contact David directly. Volume 3 I did see a purchase button and bought through Paypal. I appears the purchase link was up for only one day and I have no idea why. It shipped from France (where David lives I think). Contact him at......... cameo-classics@orange.fr
Thanks: I've emailed him direct.
I'm trying to think of a CD I bought more recently than 3 Naxos CDs in early-mid 2010 (Taneev, Babbitt, Sibelius), but having some trouble...
Milford/Blackford/Hurd 'Pipings and blowings' and Dunhill's Symphony in A minor/Arnell 'Lord Byron' both arrived in the post at the same time from Amazon.

Florence Price: Piano Concerto in one Movement; Symphony No. 1 e minor
So, how was it?
Twas the SACD of Fürtwangler's 92nd and last performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (8/22/1954). Heaven.

Fürtwangler's 92nd
There's obviously an awful lot of Furtwängler symphonies waiting to be discovered; they've clearly been in haydn for years... ;)
could of been in January but here they are: 1. Mosonyi's String Quartets on Hungaroton label played on Period instruments 2. Cliffe and d' Erlanger Violin Concertos on Hyperion Romantic Violin Concert Series 3. Gustav Jenner's 2cd Chamber music set by CPO which contains his Piano Quartet & 3 String Quartets
