Title: Lekeu: Complete works
Post by: jdperdrix on Thursday 27 August 2015, 11:53
The publisher outthere http://www.outhere-music.com (http://www.outhere-music.com) has announced a new release of Lekeu's complete works, issued under the label Ricercar from 1987 to 1994. The box consists of 8 cd's, and contains almost all of Lekeu's works (some early ones have been omitted). It also includes an extensive booklet (English, French and German), which can be freely downloaded http://www.outhere-music.com/en/albums/les-fleurs-pales-du-souvenir-complete-works-ric-351 (http://www.outhere-music.com/en/albums/les-fleurs-pales-du-souvenir-complete-works-ric-351). The box is available from the publisher, from amazon and presumably for downloading from various providers (among them qobuz) for 35 euros or less.

Don't miss it!

I haven't! It's a fine collection.

This is an excellent set, although the box is no good to me as I collected 7 individually and am missing 1. I find Lekeu best in the orchestral works.

I think they're (hrm- some of them, maybe not all, at that...) available individually in the US on Amazon for $9 in digital format if you're missing only one and if that works? (Depends on which one, I guess.)

Original CD's are available for downloading from qobuz, and presumably from other providers.
A piece of warning, though: The original tracks have been redistributed among the CD's!

It's also available on Spotify for those who also use streaming audio. I'll have a listen later on!
