No order to these:
Joly Braga Santos - Symphony No.4 - Marco Polo
An Majestic work that lasts 53:05. There are some sounds that
reminds one of Bruckner and Sibelius
Saint-Saëns
- Havanaise, Op.83 - Leonid Kogan (Violin) - Monteux Edition Vol.6 (RCA Victor)
Love the smooth somewhat
reserved tone of Kogan on the violin.
Liszt - Piano Concerto
No.1 and 2 with Georges Cziffra conducted Gyorgy Cziffra - EMI
Such an exciting
performance with an immediacy. Almost feel like you sitting in the audience in
the sweet spot.
Biber - Sonata
Representativa - Harmonia Mundi
The Musketeer's Mars and
Allemande is such a evocative rythm. You have to use some body part to go with
the rythm.
Albéniz - Iberia Book1&2 - Barenboim(Piano)
- Teldec
Saint-Saëns - Symphony No.3 (Organ Symphony)
- Daniel Chorzempa and Edo de Waart with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra-
Phillips
Such a grandiose and
sweeping work. When I want to show off my Hi-fi, this one always appear on the
list.
Voříšek - Works for Piano - Fortepiano by
David Winston after Boardmann - Olga Tverskaya - Opus111
Love the sound of the
fortepiano on this disc and what beautiful and melodious music.
Rachmaninoff - Piano
Concerto No.2 and Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini - Graffman and Bernstein -
CBS Records, Masterworks
This performance is a
lot more than virtuosity and well remastered

An Exciting work. Love
the choral parts. Great sound.
Katchaturian- Violin
Concerto - Leonid Kogan with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Monteux
- RCA Victor - Living Stereo
Lots of different
colours in the music. Melodious and virtuosic at the same time.
Brahms - Piano Concerto
No.1 - Gilels (Piano) Berlin Philharmonic and Jochum conducting. Grammophon, The
Originals
Great sound and Gilels
is fantastic with great energy and so is the orchestra under Jochum's
conducting.
Granados - Goyescas (Los
Majos Enamorados) - Michel Block (Piano) - Pro Piano Records
No better recording of
this live(1981) performance. The music is exquisite with such beautiful melodies
and earthy rhythms.
Brahms - Piano Quartet
No.2 and Mahler - Piano Quartet Movement- Domus - Virgin Classics
Outstanding performance
and beautiful warm sound.
Virtuoso Cello - Felix
Schmidt (Cello) and Annette Cole (Piano) - IMP Classics
The sound on this discs
is so real that you can almost touch the instuments and I have yet to hear a
more touching performance of the Kol Nidrei.
Mozart - Violin
Concertos Nos. 3,4,5 - Christian Ferras (Violin) - Royal Classics
Love the sound of Ferras
on the violin and No.4 cannot be improved upon.
