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.

Johann Strauss -- THE BLUE DANUBE Vienna State Opera Chorus Vienna Philharmonic Willi Boskovsky London label -- 1984 I remember the first time I heard this version, I was driving across Louisiana in my Taurus SHO, listening to PBS on the radio. Bought it as soon as I got home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntAsXVV7oCM The kind of music that attracts folks to Classical Music. Best LOUD! Cheers |
Well there is this guy called Heinz Holliger . As soon as your first CD started It came back to me . I had this recording a long time ago.In those days I didn’t care who was playing just wantedSchubert and Mozart .As I said Wright is lyrical + he REALLY helps the singer . There is a old Principle Oboe Man, soon to retire , In the Minnesota that does that as well and has a beautiful tone . Might be a tad easier on Oboe . Seems Wright has one tone, beautiful ..Karl has 2 . LOL. |
IMO , this is a Great Oratorio which seem to get very little play anywhere and none in North/ America . I realize God is not in vogue but even an atheist could enjoy this Masterpiece . Mendelssohn , Elias, with his band the Gewandhaus, Leipzig . https://youtu.be/Nqfeb0jWPkA 1968 Phiilips 420 106-2 I start with 2nd part as it is shorter and Elly Amellng starts it off . Words are from the Old Testament . The ever reliable Wolfgang Sawallisch at the helm.P.S. frogman, It came to Me, my first choice on the first day and page this forum started was the Mozart, Schubert , Serkin , Marlbourgh . Not far down the 1st page . About 41, Elly took over sung like an angle , my hair stood up ! |
