Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings

The Decca playback curve.

Does anyone have recommendations for excellent recordings of the following works on vinyl:

Beethoven and Mozart string quartets (possibly complete box sets)

Bach cantatas (looking specifically for BWV 69 but also otherst-- they're all great)

Mozart oboe quartet 370

Bach cello suites

Am listening to my mint minus LP of Dvorak Cello Concerto with Karajan
/Berlin/ Rostropovich I got the ebay. Wow this sounds great! So much more
dynamic and alive than the CD.
Will be great to sometime compare it to the Pierre Fournier, George Szell/Berlin
Philharmonic LP which must also sound fantastic.

Fabsound no I do not have any vinyl recommendations for your above requests.
Got good recordings some of those on CD.
One thing to keep in mind about older Bach recordings is there will be a
different performance practice than recordings after around 1980. Many newer
recordings will use instruments from the time of Bach so will have a more
authentic sound-Jet

Fabsound, some suggestions in response to you request for
vinyl recommendations:

---------------------
Beethoven String Qts - opinions will be all over the
place. And different performing ensembles bring differing
strengths in the various period quartets (early, middle,
late). I recommend the following LPs for their excellent
sound quality coupled with very good overall performances:

Vegh Quartet on the French Valois label, reissued on
Telefunken. The Valois pressings sound a bit better but
the Telefunken pressings are good and very reliable.

Talich Quartet on Calliope 1631, 1634, 1637, 1638, 1639
1640

Julliard String Quartet on RCA (sound quality will vary
with pressing)
-------------------------

Mozart String Quartets
The Amadeus Quartet on Deutsche Grammophon are very good
across the board.

The Salomon String Quartet on Hyperion are nice for a more
historically informed performance quality.
-------------------------

Bach Cantatas
I continue to enjoy the Telefunken complete Cantatas
series with Harnoncourt and Leonhardt conducting. It is
one of the earliest efforts to bring some greater
historically informed performance practices to record.
While the choices made sound a bit dated in comparison to
where the HIP efforts evolved, the singing is quite
marvelous and all are nicely captured in the recordings.
--------------------

Mozart Oboe Quarter K370
The Boston Chamber Players makes a fine effort on this
piece in RCA LSC 6167
--------------------

Bach Cello Suites
Janos Starker, Mercury SR3-9016 - reissued in great sound
by Speakers Corner and still currently available new

Frans Helmerson on BIS LP 5, LP 25, LP 65
--------------------

Good luck in your search!

Thanks very much, Jet and Rushton! You are right about the evolution in performance styles. Rushton, your list is greatly appreciated.
