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.

https://youtu.be/ABGW92k2zU4?t=2 The National Anthem Here’s a song that deserves to be sung in every civilized land . It’s sung by a American iconic patriot artist who sang at President Trump’s Swearing -In, as one would expect . Less than two weeks ago a nut slew 24 innocents randomly in Nova Scotia , such does not happen in Canada , unlike the USA . For fifty years US government has refused to ban military weapons designed to solely to kill human beings, though a majority of the nation would have it so , after children have been the dead in school time after time . In Canada it took FIVE -days to ban all such weapons in Canada !!Period . https://youtu.be/fkw6ASOuQVs?t=1 There is no better country ! |
