Ippolitov-Ivanov: Symphony no. 1 in E minor

[Gareth Vaughan]

I discovered the existence of the disc through ArkivMusic.

Where it has been available for years as an Arkiv re-release after the original was deleted.

Quite. Seek and ye will find...

LP? it seems so anyway.

I'm more than satisfied with the recording I have so I doubt I'll ever pursue the Conifer recording. I even found the "Turkish Fragments" reading to compare favorably with the newer Naxos recording from 1997.

Eric, I reckon that catalogue entry is a mistake.  As far as I am aware, Marco Polo never issued LPs (please correct me if I'm wrong). The date of issue of the CD was 1994 - so 1984 could easily be a typo.  I think it's a question of: "You just can't get the staff nowadays!"

Actually, looking it up, it seems it wouldn't have been the first case (not hardly!!) that Marco Polo CDs were remasterings of HNH LPs. Marco Polo never issued an LP, but HNH certainly did.

I agree with you on this one. An HNH digital release on LP in 1984 was very possible and having the CD released 5 years later makes sense. The label indicates DDD.

I have a copy of Ippolitov-Ivanov's Symphony No. 1 that was issued by HK-Marco Polo in 1984 on album no. 6.220217. I too hope more of his music would be issued on cd. There also is a recording of this Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Op. 37 on CBS issued a few years ago.

I was sure that I had at least a couple of Marco Polo LPs. Rubinstein's Violin Concerto rings a bell...

I say that the information we came up with is a team effort. And I agree with you Jerry that more of his material should be released.

You are dead right, Eric. I've just done some homework. Apologies for doubting you.

I have several Marco Polo Lps in my vinyl collection.

My mistake as to the latter, then- sorry!
