| Definitive Beethoven's 9th recording Bruno Walter/Columbia. Tweekerman | |
| Bach Brandenberg Concertos CD Recommendation Warchal/Slovak C.O. gets the Gold. Have no recommendations for the Silver nor for the Bronze as of yet(and i've heard enough)...Just curious, why do folks usually go for the big names??? Tweek | |
| Bach's Mass in B Minor: What is best CD out there? Schreier/Leipzig takes the Gold. The Leipzig chorus is definetly better than the Herreweghe. Schreier's recording is pleasing in all areas. Now Sugarbrie's recommendation on Philpls label i did not like much. The one i prefered is on Berlin Classi... | |
| Bach's Mass in B Minor: What is best CD out there? Hogwood and Pinnock are the other 2 "authentic" recordings that just don't do anything for me. Tweekerman | |
| Bach's Mass in B Minor: What is best CD out there? Though I agree with Sugarbrie and Aida on the sound of the "historical instrumentation" recordings (Hornoncourt and Gardiner), I have to agree with Mrwigglewm's recommendation on the Bach here. The Herreweghe recording does not sound like other "o... | |
| Mozart,Haydn,Beethoven String Quartets...... Scratch my vote on the cleveland quartet on Beethoven. For great sound recording and great performance the Naxos label, The Kodaly Quartet. The Tanayev Quartet plays excellent, but is "heavy" sounding vs the Kolady. The Kolady is more musical. Not... | |
| Mozart,Haydn,Beethoven String Quartets...... For the Beethoven, Cleveland Quartet. ( By the way they do one of the best Debussy/Ravel) Can't make any high recomendation for the Mozart, maybe the Budapest S. Q. on #'s 14-19. There is the Heutling Quartet on EMI import from France. Not sure ho... | |
| Bohuslav Martinu For best interpretations go to the Hungatron and Supraphon labels. The Czech P. O. under various conductors. Karel Ancerl as well as Kosler conducts with great sensitivity. The above Belohlavek may be interesting as well. Tower has all. Cheers Twe... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Well i prefer Uchida over Brendel, but prefer Mackerras vs Tate. Brendel's playing lacks a gusto that is necessary for Mozart. Even Uchida takes it alittle too easy on the keyboard. Mackerras' conducting of Mozart with the Scottish C. O. is specta... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Brendel/Mackerras/Scottish Orchestra, perform spectatular concerti. Macherras' conducting is outstanding!! Don't think they recorded #21. But check out #25, my favorite. I perfer these recordings vs the Uchida/Tate/English Orchestra. | |
| Online shops for classical, jazz, audiophile CDS Tower UK.com offers everything. And i'm sure they can ship to Moscow. Hey Hassel , could you look around in the local music shops for a 1965 recording of Rach's vespers, USSR choir??? | |
| Dvorak 9th Symphony With further listening, the definitive for me is Vaclav Talich/Czech P.O. Supraphon 1899. Vaclav as well takes top prize in the Dvorak's beautiful Slavonic Dances, Supraphon 1897. Very diciplined orchestra with great emotion. Now its true if you A... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Duane Allman captured the feelings of the southern blues sound like none could. Johnny Winter on his good days (circa 1975) put on a spectatular blues show. | |
| The best Carl Orff Carmina Burana? Yes, the Smetacek/Czech has a big sound, (nice soundstage/miking). The sound quality is not as good as others though. The chorus is outstanding (maybe tops), especially the male chorus!! The conducting is good/ok. Keep in mind, one very beautiful ... | |
| The best Carl Orff Carmina Burana? Nrchy, you may want to take a look at 2 other Orff "best" threads, oh about 2 months ago. Great music indded!! |
