@jcazador So I'm confused. Hyperion, Liszt, S. 173~Steven Osborne, but S.154~Leslie Howard. Identical titles=two different sets of compositions??
Classical Music for Aficionados
I would like to start a thread, similar to Orpheus’ jazz site, for lovers of classical music.
I will list some of my favorite recordings, CDs as well as LP’s. While good sound is not a prime requisite, it will be a consideration.
Classical music lovers please feel free to add to my lists.
Discussion of musical and recording issues will be welcome.
I’ll start with a list of CDs. Records to follow in a later post.
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Vanguard Classics — Vienna Festival Orch. Prohaska, conductor.
Prokofiev: Scythian Suite et. al. DG — Chicago Symphony Abbado, conductor.
Brahms: Symphony #1. Chesky — London Symph. Orch. Horenstein, conductor.
Stravinsky: L’Histoire du Soldat. HDTT — Ars Nova. Mandell, conductor.
Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Analogue Productions. — Dallas Symph Orch. Johanos, cond.
Respighi: Roman Festivals et. al. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
All of the above happen to be great sounding recordings, but, as I said, sonics is not a prerequisite.

Jim , I had the sad duty of disposing of the stuff nobody wanted of a good friend of mine who passed lately . Came upon several LP's of a Scot I had totally forgotten , one Harry Lauder .Was he corny , aye .Did he fill me with joy bringing memories back of the old folks on Saturday night , aye . Scotland Forever . |
Len, I am sorry for your friend my condolences to you , we are now losing friends and colleagues left right and centre as we get older and it is very sad. As to Harry Lauder , yes he was corny but he was a mainstay for ex pats in Canada and America and yes they did go overboard on the whole heather and haggis thing . Scotia ever more. |
