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.

One of my favorite violonist of all time is Arthur Grumiaux... I am drugged by his tone and light... When you listen to him you dont hear a virtuoso at all.... You see colors....And colors sings.... I cannot even recommend one album , perhaps Bach violin concertos the best ever....Or anything by this illuminated master.... Superlative artistry beyond most.... Try Mozart and dont listen to the sound look for the colors and light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjrM9l4AsXE Same light with different colors here in Handel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leHBstDPPOs |
