My first little adventure, created to see if I have the ability at all to make a film... I may have what it takes, but have a long way to go. What did I learn making this one? No kids and just ENJOY myself... it be alright if you're having fun and don't take things too seriously... but seriously enough to get the job done.
Hi. Shari, Do they every have screenings in the Buffalo,NY area ?
Again, really appreciate the information (about the TX group). Just found a group - "Houston Texas - Movie Screeners!" and can't wait to explore more from TXTMovieClub site.
Thank you for the warm welcome and information!
Really excited about this club (both my husband and I love watching movies - average about 3-4 movies per month) and look forward to explore the site.

DEFINITION of 'Freddie Mac - Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp - FHLMC'
A stockholder-owned, government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) chartered by Congress in 1970 to keep money flowing to mortgage lenders in support of homeownership and rental housing for middle income Americans. The FHLMC purchases, guarantees and securitizes mortgages to form mortgage-backed securities. The mortgage-backed securities that it issues tend to be very liquid and carry a credit rating close to that of U.S. Treasuries.
Also known as "Freddie Mac."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Freddie Mac - Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp - FHLMC'
Freddie Mac has come under criticism because its ties to the U.S. government allows it to borrow money at interest rates lower than those available to other financial institutions. With this funding advantage, it issues large amounts of debt (known in the market place as agency debt or agencies), and in turn purchases and holds a huge portfolio of mortgages known as its retained portfolio. Many people believe that the size of the retained portfolio poses a great deal of systematic risk to the entire U.S.

This is my HG BB. I received a sample of the Black Label in my Birchbox and went to Sephora to get more, but I noticed the other types of Dr Jart BB cream, so I tried them. I really liked the way the Premium looked--it wasn't as "bright" as the Radiant one, but less dull than the Black Label (which I really do like) So I decided to buy this one. It makes my skin look PERFECT. I am 44 years old, acne prone around jawline, some skin discoloration due to sun damage and some acne scars. It covers my scarring perfectly, and makes my skin discoloration disappear. It feels great and is definitely high quality. I live in Florida so I love the SPF and love that it's a physical not chemical blocker. Initially when you put it on, you're like "whoa what the hell" but give it 5 minutes and it blends really well I have slightly olive, medium toned skin, I am NOT pale, but it still works really well. I am thrilled to have found this after trying about 5 other BB creams, both Korean and cheap drugstore brands.

Makes my face dull after 5 minutes of application. My neck and face start out the same but in a couple of minutes my face gets darker/duller. I don't want to wash my face and find that it looks better without makeup.
The product works better for me in daylight and I photograph better so that's a bonus.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Warm Hair: Blond, Curly, Fine Eyes: Brown
I got a mini tube of this as a Sephora VIB offer -- I was thrilled to get it because I had wanted to try it for a few years. My experience with it was mixed:
The Good:
- covers redness well for a BB cream
- has a dewy, natural finish
- includes spf 45 broad-spectrum protection (zinc + titanium dioxide)
- does not cause breakouts or irritation on my sensitive/reactive/acne-prone/rosacean skin
- reasonably priced ($39 usd)
- can be found easily as it's available at Sephora
The Bad:
- seems like it never really sets completely (transfers)
- it comes in one shade only -- and that shade is very cool-toned and pinky (doesn't seem like it would match many people)
The Ugly:
- with my yellow undertones (I'm NC15), this looks almost lavender and clashes in a really obvious way. Makes me look sickly. I hope they come out with more shades because I would definitely give it another try.

Has EGF and all kinds of good ingredients that meet my very particular standards and requirements. It matches my pale pink cool Nordic skin tone perfectly and my sensitive skin loves it. The SPF is just a bonus bc I wear Skinmedica physical block underneath it, but I'd even wear this at night by itself if I were out of my MUFE HD foundation. Love it. Can't wait to try other Dr. Jart products.

I am OBSESSED with this product. I used to wear only Bare Minerals but it wouldn't stay on. Then I switched to Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer and it did not have enough coverage for me...it was super shiny and worst of all gave me the worst break outs!! I switched over to Too Faced tinted moisturizer and it was pretty good. THEN I made the switch to Dr Jarts by suggestion from a friend. IT IS AMAZING!! It has great coverage, feels SOO smooth on my skin, wears all day, love love love. The only reason I took away a star is because it doesn't match my skin great now that it is the summer and my skin is a shade darker. I am still pretty fair as I don't tan great and it's still to light. Bummer...I love it for the summer though, it's my fav so far.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Very Oily, Medium, Cool Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Grey
I went to Sephora asking for some samples of sweat-proof foundation. When I posted on thie message board, a user recommended this. I tend not to like BB Creams very well, because they give almost no coverage. But I was willing to give a try. So I got a sample of this from Sephora.
I really don't like this BB cream. There are a few reasons why. First, this comes in only one shade. It claims to be for every skintone. But I don't think it really is. The cream itself is almost a greyish color. When I first applied it, it looked AWFUL. It basically made me look like I was dead. Given a little time, it did adjust somewhat to my skin, but I've had much better color matches with other foundations.
2nd, I would describe this as sheer to light coverage. It is definitely NOT medium coverage. Due to a genetic disease, I have a lot of redness and small bumps on my face. They make me self-conscious, so I like to cover them up. But I don't want to look like I'm wearing a ton of makeup. Even after applying two layers, you could still clearly see the redness under the makeup.
I also think that this is way overpriced. In my opinion, it's not even mediocre.
If you are someone who needs very little coverage, I would recommend this BB cream. But if you have anything you want to hide, this simply won't do the trick. You are better off looking elsewhere. I will probably end up throwing away the sample, and will not purchase a full-sized bottle.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Normal, Fair Hair: Other, Straight, Fine Eyes: Green
I received a sample of this and loved it so much I purchased it. I love the consistency, color, and finish, and I appreciate the high SPF. My skin looked and felt amazing, and it seemed smoother after a short time of using it. I do, however, hate the packaging. I paid about $45 for a tube of this and thought I'd received a bad dispenser, but after reading some of the other reviews I just realized it's just a terrible pump. I ended up taking the thing apart and use a nail stick to scrape out a significant amount of cream that was still inside the (hard, un-cuttable) tube. Honestly I haven't reordered this cream because of the packaging, which is sad because the product itself is fantastic. If you have the patience to dig around a poorly designed tube and can put up with a hesitating dispenser that sprays the cream on the floor instead of your fingers, have at it - the cream is worth it. Until they put it in a plain, squeezable tube, I won't be buying it.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
This is how all BB creams should be. This one is so luxurious, the formula is to die for. Just so blendable and silky. It takes a moment for it to "dry" and not feel wet. Covers up all sorts of imperfections and under eye darkness! This will match most skintones and it does look very natural, but it still makes one slightly paler due to the high SPF. For awhile I wore this as my daily "foundation" but I wanted to look less pale and went back to my Bobbi skin foundation. This BB cream is nice because it can be mixed with other products to add some moisture/spf/ or blurring. Oh, it also stays on ALL freaking day. My friend and her boyfriend told me my makeup looked nice at the end of a long night when I wore this out to a show. I am only 27 but this would be great for aging faces or women who have decided not to wear makeup anymore due to foundation enhancing appearance of age. Great product.

Camera is Fubar'dHey Guys,
We currently have a Pentax K20D and somebody from upstairs knocked over our camera in the photography room and now the viewfinder is blurry as pancake.
We tried cleaning it but I think it's something on the inside of the camera that's fubar'd. The images are still coming out fine but it's hard to see the pictures when you're trying to judge angles and such.
The only thing that's important about this specific camera is that it has an outlet for a flash. (image attached)
Any of you guys know of any Canon's/Nikon's with this particular outlet? Or can we get some sort of external trigger if we go Canon because we'll most likely have to purchase a new camera.Less marketing douchebaggery, MORE TANKS!Tags: None
You'll have to go to the "prosumer" line (no rebels or whatever the cheap end of Nikon is).
Canon 7D would be awesome, if that's too expensive a used 40D or 50D would be cool too.
OR you can get radio triggers like the yongnuo ctr-301s, they are triggered by the hot shoe (so you don't need the plug you're pointing out) and they are pretty cheap on ebay. There's a few different models, i don't know what would suit you best, it depends on your lighting set-up.
I can try and explain more if it sounds like something you're interested in.Keep firing @$$holes!
Yeah Squawky that's what I had in mind too. We have a hanging soft-box (big mo-fo), who's plug fits into that slot in the image I attached.
Even if we could just get a trigger like the one you're talking about that would be great. No more stupid wires. I just don't know how to rig the Flash to set up with the Trigger...Less marketing douchebaggery, MORE TANKS!
Why don't you get that camera fixed?
"May your hats fly as high as your dreams"Michael Scott
Costs 300$ to get it fixed. It's going to take about 6 weeks and we cannot go without a camera for that long in which case we'd need to rent one and the cost of renting a camera for that long we'd basically be paying for a new one.Less marketing douchebaggery, MORE TANKS!
Is it not like a car? You get a rental while that one is being fixed?
Ah well I have no suggestions. I don't know cameras.
"May your hats fly as high as your dreams"Michael Scott
Here's a trigger with one receiver, and this has the PC cable (flash can either sit in the hot shoe of the receiver or if it only has a PC cord you plug it into that) I think there are sets out there for up to 3 receivers. I use these at work all the time and haven't had a problem, though these aren't the most advanced so if your in an area that has a lot of radio interference it might misfire more. If you really need reliability Pocket Wizards are supposed to be the industry standard, but they are pretty expensive. If you're just shooting product photography and not in critical time sensitive (like an event) situations then the Yongnuos should work fine.
Then you can get like a Rebel T3i and be able to do video too!Keep firing @$$holes!
Also, these work with just about any camera and any flash (so you can buy some cheaper flashes, just don't use them on the
camera). All the settings have to be done manually though. Here's a video showing how they go together a bit.
Edit: What do you shoot, TA? I'm assuming product type stuff, but my suggestions might change depending on what you do.Keep firing @$$holes!
Ahhhh I think I understand.
So one goes on the camera while the other gets the PC cord from the Flash plugged into it.
Am I getting that?Less marketing douchebaggery, MORE TANKS!
Yeah, it's pretty much all product photography.
We have one of these bad boys
So it's not like we can do very many action shots
All products mainly.Less marketing douchebaggery, MORE TANKS!
yeah, the trigger goes on the camera's hotshoe and the flash can either be triggered by the hotshoe or the PC cord on the receiver. Just make sure the batteries are good (the manufacturer's batteries aren't the greatest so you may need to replace them in the receivers) and they are set to the same channel.Keep firing @$$holes!
Squawky, from what it looks like,
The right image looks like it goes on the camera itself... but still has a plug for the PC cord. If that's the case, is there a way to run the Flash's PC Cord into the other receiver or am I not getting it...Less marketing douchebaggery, MORE TANKS!

Subway's video game ad reaches new low
It may not seem so at first, but this Subway ad is a brave new world of mainstream video game representation.
Sure, it has the modern "wakka-wakka" video game noises -- in accordance with federal law. It's got everyone's favorite modern method of video game control: The comically large joystick. The ad's fictional game, "Snakka" is based on Pac-Man, everyone's favorite modern game.
There's even the requisite, not-so-subtle implication that video games turn your kids into chubby zombies (the most adorable threat known to man). This sucker's got everything, but as gaming in the media goes, this is pretty standard.
But just as it's about to sink into the abyss of mediocrity, the ad wizards really go above and beyond and actually manage to misrepresent the basic idea of Pac-Man.
[See how after the break.]
It seems ridiculous, but it's true. Their inability (or possible refusal) to understand Pac-Man has turned the horizontal game board on its side and made its walls into platforms. It's a little like watching the feverish nightmares of Billy Mitchell circa July 1999. It's like watching the horrifying byproduct of K.C. Munchkin's whirlwind affair with Joseph Merrick. It's like ... well, it's depressing, let's leave it at that.
Congratulations, random advertising agency, not only did you use a 28-year-old game to represent the medium, but you managed to actually screw that up.
Oh, and side note: Jared Fogle says Nintendo games made him fat.
[Thanks, VH1 Gamebreak for pointing this one out.]

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Shifting from the snowcapped International Sanitorium Berghof's Swiss Alps to sludgy "mountain-like" coal deposits of a "toxic grotto" in central Illinois, Curtis White's America's Magic Mountain situates Thomas Mann's Hans Castorp in a Mr. Donut at the Elixir, a blue-collar strip-mall day spa for recovering alcoholics that encourages "Flask Meditation"i.e., swigging bottles of the hard stuff.
Mann maniacs will find the book a pleasing jigsaw of retooled minutiae. Instead of following a shipbuilding engineer, the quasi-bildungsroman stars a recent graduate of a Midwestern university toting zero street smarts and a jargon-filled degree in Industrial Psychology, a/k/a corporate damage-control spin-doctoring. There are plenty of Americanized versions of Mann's characters (Clavdia Chauchat is cleavage-laden ex-CPA Cecile/Frau X, and cousin Joachim is recast as Ricky, a priapic sociopath). In a meta-moment, Hans pages through a partially hollowed-out Magic Mountain that houses a bottle of Golden Gate, "the cheapest imaginable grocery store vodka," and after reading a few pages dismisses Mann's masterpiece in true English 101 style: "The central dramatic incident was borrowing a pencil. One boy borrowed a pencil from another boy and then thought about it for the rest of his life. . . . To be fair, the description of the pencil made it seem like a very special pencil."
References go two levels deep when White interweaves his own oeuvre. For instance, imagination-impoverished Hans embodies the thesis of last year's The Middle Mind, and the "four points on The Elixir's spiritual compass" (Reverend Phenues Boyle, Mayor Jesse, Professor Feeling, and Ricky) revisit themes of sex/death and family ritual (e.g., a father's right to fart, patriarchal remote-control hogging) from Requiem and Memories of My Father Watching TV.
For readers unacquainted with Mann or White, America's Magic Mountain is a thin but humorous dissection of the American education system, liberal banality, and so-called "boutique diseases," and unlike the 700-plus-page 1924 masterpiece, this speedy Palahniukian narrative will keep even the attention-deprived in the zone. How very American!

Following their album of French music for two pianos, father and son Vladimir and Vovka Ashkenazy revel in their musical heritage with this dazzling programme by the great composers of Russia. Three of the works have been arranged by Vovka Ashkenazy himself, including Mussorgsky's Night On The Bald Mountain and the album's virtuosic finale, Borodin's Polovtsian Dances from his opera Prince Igor. His two-piano arrangement of Glinka's lilting Valse-fantaisie is itself based on Sergei Lyapunov's arrangement for four hands.
"full of taut and virtuosic double pianism." BBC Music Magazine, April 2012 ****
"It's terrific to hear Ashkenazy playing Russian Romantic repertoire again. The performance of the Rachmaninov Suite is more reflective and mellow than Ashkenazy's version with Previn - there seems to be greater expansiveness and flexibility in the phrasing...The result is a delightful and entertaining disc, and one that's sumptuously recorded too" International Record Review, February 2012

The Bells, Op. 35
Spring, Op. 20
Three Russian Songs, Op. 41
Svetla Vassileva (soprano), Misha Didyk (tenor) & Alexei Tanovitski (bass)
Chorus of the Mariinsky Theatre & BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda
This is the seventh and final volume in our acclaimed Rachmaninoff series, which has been performed by the BBC Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda. They are joined in this recording by the Chorus of the Mariinsky Theatre and the soloists Svetla Vassileva, Misha Didyk, and Alexei Tanovitski. The disc was recorded live at this year's Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Rachmaninoff composed his 'choral symphony' The Bells in 1913. It takes its inspiration from poems by Edgar Allan Poe in a Russian translation by the poet Konstantin Balmont. The first movement, evoking the chimes of silver bells on a winter sleigh ride, is unusually cheerful for both the composer and author, while 'Wedding Bells' blends the yearning of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde with a darker and more ominous undercurrent that carries through to the end. Of this Proms performance, The Guardian wrote: 'The soloists soared, the choir bloomed, and Noseda powered the orchestra through thrilling climaxes to the funereal closing bars.'
In the brooding cantata Spring of 1902, the restlessness and lively use of percussion reflect the composer's mindset at the time: He was hungry to write music once again after suffering from a three-year bout of writer's block and depression. The work is based on a poem by Nikolay Nekrasov and describes the return of the Zelyoniy shum, or 'green rustle'. The poem tells of a husband who, fraught with murderous thoughts towards his unfaithful wife during the winter season, is freed from his frustrations by the return of spring.
The Three Russian Songs are poignant, gem-like time capsules of a Russia now irretrievably lost. They were written in 1926 when Rachmaninoff was living and exhaustively touring as a pianist in America. Vladimir Wilshaw, Rachmaninoff's old friend from student days, said of this work: 'Only a man who loves his country could compose this way. Only a man who in his innermost soul is a Russian. Only Rachmaninoff could have composed this!'
"The Mariinsky's strongest suit is probably its distinctly Russian tone...Alas, the dramatic engagement one might have expected from an opera chorus is here virtually nonexistent...The Bells itself is beautifully played, but with rather literal fidelity to the score. This approach works well enough in the funereal final movement with its echoes of Isle of the Dead. Noseda's avoidance of rubato, though, rather misses the poetry of the golden bells." BBC Music Magazine, December 2011 ***
"Noseda handles [The Bells] skilfully, with sensitivity to the contrasted moods and to the orchestral detail as well as the balance with the chorus and soloists...and the grim finale is kept at a firm and solemn pace...[in 'Spring'] Tanovitsky broods impressively as the peasant, phrasing sensitively, and Noseda does well to make formal sense of the piece." International Record Review, November 2011
"The big moments in this live Proms recording - like the all-choral third movement, evoking supernatural 'alarm bells' - thrill the ear, with a professional Russian chorus to add extra quality, and there's fine solo singing in the other three movements." Classic FM Magazine, February 2012 ****
"Noseda shapes both ['Spring' and the Three Russian Songs] works sympathetically but inevitably responds more vividly to the more expansive canvas of The Bells; all the performances have the benefit of the Russian soloists and the wonderful chorus of the Mariinsky Opera." The Guardian, 19th January 2012

Evgeny Kissin (piano)
Few classical artists have made so spectacular an initial impact upon public – even global – consciousness as the pianist Yevgeny Kissin, when in 1984 at the age of 12 he gave both piano concertos by Chopin in a single concert at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. His fame was assured, and from there on his reputation preceded him as a young, sublimely gifted virtuoso possessed of the most brilliant technique, seemingly natural musical touch and preternatural confidence.
All those assets can be heard to advantage in some popular – and more formidable works by his countrymen, from the glittering display vehicles written by Shostakovich and Prokofiev to the powerful sweep of Tchaikovsky's ever-popular First Concerto. Of course Kissin has gone on to perform and indeed record these works – he is now 40, a British citizen for the last nine years, mirabile dictu – several times since, but the early recordings retain a bravado and unselfconscious vigour that infects every performance with appealing zest and sometimes astonishing assurance.

A limited-edition 50-CD set of legendary recordings celebrating the world-renowned DECCA sound.
Classic-status pioneering stereo recordings from the past 55 years and starring a galaxy of internationally-acclaimed artistic talent.
Each CD is presented in a sleeve with original cover art.
Where an original release may have been of short duration due to limitations of the LP a bonus work featuring the same artists has been added.
A 200-page booklet documents the development of stereo recording as it developed in the 1950s through to modern digital recordings; there is an article on Decca artists and repertory with particular reference to the artists featured in the set.
Full recording information on each disc is included and there are numerous photographs.
"In opera and elsewhere Decca really did lead the way through much of the second half of the twentieth century and this new box set celebrates and demonstrates that through a tremendous range of terrific recordings." Chris O'Reilly, Presto Classical, 17th October 2011

Karen Geoghegan (bassoon) & Philip Edward Fisher (piano)
Chandos signed Karen Geoghegan as an exclusive artist in 2007 following her appearance on BBC TV's Classical Star programme. This is her fifth recording with the label, and the expressive maturity and sensitivity of her playing have quickly cemented her status as a rising star, Gramophone writing: 'Name five internationally famous bassoon soloists. Archie Camden, Gwydion Brooke and, er, that's it. Except I think we shall soon be adding the name of Karen Geoghegan to the roll call.'
On this disc, she is accompanied by Philip Edward Fisher in works by some of the greatest composers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: Schubert, Schumann, Spohr, Rachmaninoff, and Elgar. Yet, with a single exception, namely the Sonata in E flat by Gustav Schreck, none of the works recorded here were originally composed for the bassoon.
One of Rachmaninoff's best-loved short pieces, the Vocalise was written for wordless voice and piano. Demonstrating the capacities of the voice as a pure instrument, this work is a prime example of the power of melody without the need for words. In this arrangement, the bassoon takes on the role of 'wordless voice', which shows off the instrument's great lyrical qualities to perfection, as does Elgar's Salut d'amour.
Schumann's Fantasiestücke was originally composed for clarinet and piano, its three pieces played without a break, with each subsequent piece taking up and developing melodic ideas from the preceding one. The Sonata in A minor, D 821 by Schubert, which remained unpublished and unperformed for decades after his death, is an emotionally complex work, its moods moving from deep melancholy to excited ebullience.
"Geoghegan is probably the best advocate the instrument could have: even though parts of the 'Arpeggione' Sonata (usually heard on cello or viola) don't quite work on the bassoon, as the ear adjusts her exemplary musicianship comes through and triumphs...There's a wonderfully natural quality to Geoghegan's phrasing and expression - especially in the Schumann - and she is partnered adeptly at all times by Philip Edward Fisher." Classic FM Magazine, December 2011 ****
"the most substantial music comes in the transcription of Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata...It would be foolish to expect the bassoon to offer the emotional depth and richness of tone that can be accommodated on a string instrument, but Karen Geoghegan certainly convinces with the melancholic hue of the first movement." BBC Music Magazine, February 2012 ****
"There is no clowning here. If anything, the bassoon lends a pleasant dolefulness to the music played on this CD...Even the cello...is not as consistently mellow as a bassoon, when it is played by a musician on Geoghegan's level." International Record Review, January 2012

Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon Rattle
For over 20 years, the Berliner Philharmoniker have celebrated their foundation on May 1st with the annual EUROPA KONZERT - this year's event takes place at the magnificent Teatro Real in Madrid.
The renowned orchestra, under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, performs Joaquín Rodrigo's beloved Concierto de Aranjuez, Emmanuel Chabrier's exuberant España, and Sergey Rachmaninov's dramatic Second Symphony.
It is joined for the Concierto by the famous flamenco guitarist Cañizares, whose virtuosity and sensitivity are given full opportunity to shine in this multi-faceted and subtle work.

"for all the luxury of the performance, Rattle never milks it; and for all the attention to the music's larger paragraphs, he never scants the particulars of the moment...From first note to last, there's not a moment of questionable ensemble, not a moment of strain. Is this, however, an unmitigated virtue?...This is a first-rate release, made all the more welcome by the excellent engineering and by the tactful camerawork" International Record Review, January 2012
"Flamenco star Cañizares brings nonchalant authority to the Concierto de Aranjuez in a concert fizzing with energy, from a playful Espana to the sweeps of Rachmaninov's Symphony No. 2." BBC Music Magazine, December 2011 ****

Italian Serenade in G major
Philharmonia Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, William Steinberg
There were occasions during the three decades when the LP record ruled supreme – from the 1950s to the 1970s – when the chemistry between an orchestra, its conductor and their record company combined to work a magic that the commitment of long-term recording contracts quite often made possible. Karajan and the Philharmonia; Ansermet and the Suisse Romande; Dorati and the Minneapolis; Münch and the Boston Symphony, Cluytens and the Paris Conservatoire and Previn and the London Symphony are all prime examples of such collaborations. All of these produced recorded performances that are as fine today as they ever were and are all well-represented in the current CD catalogues. Until now there has been one successful recording collaboration that seems almost to have slipped under the radar: the Pittsburgh Symphony, William Steinberg and the Capitol Records producer, Richard C. Jones.
This set of 20 CDs presents virtually everything that was recorded by Steinberg during the seven years that he recorded for Capitol: from the Schubert Second Symphony, recorded on 9 February 1952, to the Italian Serenade by Wolf, from 16 April 1959. There are some exceedingly good performances in this set and the recordings show that Capitol Records were at the technical forefront when it came to sound quality and production values.
The earlier recordings were, of course, made in mono and come up surprisingly well on CD. From 1956 onwards the recordings were made in stereo. There are a selection of recordings, both mono and stereo, that are here being released on CD for the first time.
Also included are the recordings of Strauss that Steinberg and Jones made with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, in June 1957.
Getting to know these wonderful 1950s recordings from a conductor who, perhaps, didn't always get the critical acclaim that was his due, will be an exciting and rewarding experience for any prospective purchaser.

Ohio State senior reserve defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge has been missing since early Wednesday and Columbus Police are continuing to search for him.

In a defensive battle between two undefeated college basketball powers, tournament-tested Arizona survived the challenge.
The top four spots in the College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday were unchanged from last week, with Alabama still holding the No. 1 slot.
Mississippi State senior safety Justin Cox was suspended indefinitely from the football team Friday following his arrest on charges of aggravated domestic violence and suspicion of burglary.

In just his third game coaching the California Golden Bears, Cuonzo Martin led his team to a win over one of college basketball's iconic programs.
Oklahoma State quarterback Daxx Garman has concussion symptoms and his status against Baylor is questionable, according to reports Wednesday.

Southern Cal senior cornerback Josh Shaw will not face charges for the alleged domestic incident at an apartment in August that ended when Shaw leapt from a third-floor balcony and injured his ankles.
A win over previously No. 1 Mississippi State vaulted Alabama from a position outside of the national semifinals to the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.

The validity of the memorabilia items supposedly signed by Jameis Winston was called into question after the original authentication company backed off when it became concerned about whether the Florida State quarterback actually signed them.
It sounded like Rupp Arena South. And after a ragged start, No. 1 Kentucky made Bankers Life Fieldhouse feel like its home court.
Jahlil Okafor continued his stellar start to the season by missing only two shots on his way to 17 points as the No. 4 Duke Blue Devils held off the 19th-ranked Michigan State Spartans at the Champions Classic in Indianapolis.
Kentucky remained No. 1 in the first Associated Press regular-season men's basketball poll despite struggling for a half against Buffalo.

Israel's new right-wing government made its debut in the American capital his week, with President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu trying to convince the Obama administration that they are committed to the peace process.
Mr Peres, who met with President Obama at the White House on Tuesday and gave the keynote speech at the annual policy conference of the pro-Israel lobby group, Aipac, assured his audience that Mr Netanyahu's government will not renege on its roadmap commitments.
Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has said he "would like to help" advance the Middle East peace process using his experience from Northern Ireland.
His comments came as Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor made a two-day tour of Belfast this week.
When Mr Adams visited the Middle East in March, Israeli officials refused to meet him after he held talks with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza.
But he offered Mr Prosor a warm welcome to Ulster ahead of an hour of private talks on Wednesday afternoon.
True to his campaign promise to reach out diplomatically to Iran, US president Barack Obama issued a public appeal to the Iranian leadership on the occasion of the Iranian holiday of Nowruz.
President Obama's overture to Tehran marks the beginning of the US effort to engage with Iran, a strategy viewed with skepticism by Israel. The President's public call for rapprochement comes days after senior administration officials were urged by Israel's chief of staff not to shelve the military option against Iran.
Israel will refuse to agree a new truce with Hamas unless the release of captured soldier Gilad Shalit is part of the deal.
The decision, approved unanimously by a cabinet vote on Wednesday, came as both Israel and Hamas appeared to toughen their negotiating positions.
The indirect talks over a ceasefire, mediated by the Egyptian government, reached an apparent impasse this week despite an earlier agreement by the Hamas leadership in Gaza to link a prisoner exchange deal to a two-year truce.
Amid growing tensions with radical settlers, the head of the Shin Bet security service has warned that extremists can be expected to engage in armed attacks against the IDF in the event of peace moves with the Palestinians.
Yuval Diskin did not explicitly say that he expected attempts at political assassination in the event of a push for removal of settlements and outposts in the West Bank.
A peace plan offered by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that would see 93 per cent of the West Bank handed to the Palestinians was this week dismissed by both President Mahmoud Abbas and the Israeli media.
Two British academics have dismissed a growing political view that the settlement of Britain's conflict with the IRA could be a model for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Dr John Bew and Dr Martyn Frampton, historians from Peterhouse College, Cambridge, said that "the notion of talking to one's enemies - no matter how intransigent or unreasonable they may seem - has been fetishised by many from across the political spectrum".
The prospect of a lasting peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is to be debated in London this September before an audience of 2,000 people, the day before Israel chooses a successor to Ehud Olmert as Prime Minister.
Speakers include Palestinian negotiator and legislator Dr Hanan Ashwari, Dr Mustafa Barghouti of the Palestinian Legislative Council and Yael Dayan, daughter of Moshe Dayan and Deputy Mayor of Tel Aviv.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband paid a warm and emotional tribute to the Anglo-Jewish community on Wednesday, along with a trenchant warning that Iran's nuclear ambitions were "a challenge that Britain will not duck" for the sake of stability for Israel and the whole of the Middle East.
The Foreign Secretary was the guest of honour at UJIA's annual patrons' dinner, held in the Foreign Office's Locarno Rooms, where, he reminded guests, the seven Locarno Treaties had been signed in December 1925.
Senator Barack Obama will be travelling to Israel and the Palestinian Authority next week to meet Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem, and President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah. He will be well received by both sides, but the parties will be confused by the comments he made regarding the fate of Jerusalem and his overall approach to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
