What a wonderful label, with essentially two golden ages (the 2nd one with Peter Wadland, the wonderful producer that guided many recording sessions during the 1980s and early 1990s). <BR/><BR/>It's so hard to believe that L'Oiseau-Lyre is basically dead now, picked over like a turkey carcass for any recordings that can sold as reissues in the bargain basement. I'm constantly amazed at Universal's stupidity: the Mozart complete piano concerto cycle with Christopher Hogwood and Robert Levin is no longer available (and was uncompleted <BR/>just like the Haydn symphony project). Even the cover art and graphic designs were looking slipshod shortly before Universal Records completely pulled the plug on L'Oiseau-Lyre sometime after 2000. <BR/><BR/>It is my sincere wish that someone would buy back the record label <BR/>trademark, and restore this label to its former glory. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for an engaging post. <BR/><BR/>Kim Patrick Clow <BR/>http://www.livejournal.com/users/telemannPliablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-27505176964749184692007-04-10T22:41:00.000+01:002007-04-10T22:41:00.000+01:00The faint white on black print in the first image above showing 'clarinetist' Alan Hacker as the conductor of the Haydn 'Nocturns' brings back a tide of warm classical/new music memories.
