Wagner Overtures conducted by Sir George Solti. Holst The Planets conducted by just about anyone (I favour Sir Adrian Boult). Vivaldi Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons) conducted by Trevor Pinnock. Beethoven Symphonies conducted by anyone of your choice. For modern Symphony Orchestra style Leonard Bernstein or Gunter Wand, for "period" style by John Eliot Gardner. Great performances in poor sound by Arturo Toscanini. J.S. Bach Brandenburg Concertos conducted by (again) Trevor Pinnock.
looking for ideas on must have classical music
Hello classical devotees!
A friend had me rip quite a few of his CDs for his trip abroad. most were classical, and many were like 'best of' compilations. one or two were whole symphonies.
armed with these at least and no others I felt it time to wade into the classical waters and increase that genre in my library.
what then, are your fav, 3 or 4, go to, gotta have composers, movements, and or conductors out there on CD at least?
if also available in HD or otherwise, please point towards them as well, if you don't mind.
your input is sincerely appreciated and this input will initiate my list for current and future additions to the catalog, so again, thanks very much!!
