Yes, excellent. Schubert was late Classical, unlike Liszt who clearly was not and someone who must be clueless about all matters musical sparks up to recommend Liszt as Classical, rather than Romantic. That post by @mikelavigne must be bookmarked under the new favourites folder titled Clueless. |
To be fair, I think there may be some confusion here with terminology. There is a Genre (I hate that term, but it’s useful here) of Classical Music, and then within that Genre there is the Classical Period, the dates of which were supplied by another poster. I took the OP to mean any recording within the genre, not the historical period. The recording that the OP cites is of Baroque Music, albeit on a more modern instrument than the Composer would have known.
The Vikingur Olaffson Debussy/Ravel disc cited previously is another stunner |
With the Advent season here and the holidays season in swing ….

Yes, I would have to agree that Glenn Gould's recordings of Bach's Goldberg Variations must be among my favorite classical solo piano pieces, although he was more famous for his unique interpretations as opposed to the standard, establishment interpretations. Another one of my favorite classical solo piano pieces are any of Chopin's works performed by Claudio Arrau, who, again, was probably more famous because of his unique interpretations. |
@noske that's very mean spirited. did you even read my whole post? i was very clear to say that i'm not expert on classical. just talking about what i like. here is the last sentence of my post.
had i previously offended you? or just in the mood for spite? |
