I've been into classical music for decades and love it. Some personal favorites include pianist Sviatoslav Richter, and the Guarneri Quartet, especially their late Beethoven set that came out on Philips. A whole level beyond anyone in insight for me. Sandor Vegh and the Camerata Salzburg have a 10-CD set of Mozart serenades and divertimentos that's great. Bernstein's Schubert 9th and Unfinished (#8) symphonies with the Concertgebouw are special. Haydn quartets with the Auryn Quartet are wonderful.
Classical music newbie needs your suggestions
I purchased around 300 like new classical albums last summer. Music from a wide range of composers. I also purchased around the same amount of operas. (I may sell those).
I’m finally retired and able to pursue a lifelong desire to understand and enjoy classical music.
Pieces that move you to tears, or pluck heart strings. Your all time favorites.
The albums you’d take to that desert island.
Any suggestions are welcome.
