@inna I am a European, are you insinuating that I have no brain ?
I find that extremely insulting.

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.

inna, What you said proves what I have thought, you are mentally ill. frogman , I think that were he still alive, that Prof would say what you did . It was said in the 1960’s and took about 2 minutes . It stuck in MY mind . I have noticed over the years that many players have become more harsh etc. I thought it might be because the World they were born into was that. |
frogman , I am all into diversity in large countries like the USA. Over 10% of Minnesota population are refuges or immigrants and we are better for it in our Nations largest % iof Federal Voters. . My best friend is Chinese and a nicer man I have never known . It can be not so good for little countries Little European Counties like Austria , 8 million, Slovenia 2 million,Czech Republic 3 mill ,fear for their culture and unlike USA have real reason to . They have taken as much people as they can take and are musical lands that want what they have. Big -hearted Sweden is falling apart for taking more than it could handle .Germany , The Euro Engine with about 90 mil took a million in one year and 2,500 refugees raped German women on New Years in Berlin. Their religion says that is their duty. |
MESSIAH, or HWV 56, for us elites. You can't go wrong with either of these. Recorded on two great Classical labels. No one can do this music like the English: Sinfonia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn5N5nMHHKE For unto Us a Child Is Born https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqbp_HUe8dk Robert Shaw, The Master of all things vocal: The Lord gave the word https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9zn1-AyBm8 Why do the nations? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT4RPAVYDlE Halleluja Chorus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmpDOWdsvWA Cheers |
