It's a great four volume series done in 1995 (IIRC).

yes, Musikalisches Hausbuch arrived in good condition. Good stuff. I'm still trying figure out where it fits into the Musica Poetica series (of which it is part).

What a fantastic box set!

It really is. Do you have a copy? An amazing dynamic recording, too, with deep resonating percussion sounds and featuring the "Marimba Eroica."

I let my copy slip through my fingers years ago. I have the CD, but I'm eyeing the newish 180g version (but it doesn't have the informative 3rd disc).

"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" by Steely Dan is the only one that springs to mind.

Any mention yet of Arthur Lyman? "Yellow Bird" is a true classic marimba song.
