The passing of Great Seiji Ozawa falls on the 139th Birthday of the great composer Alban Berg. Below the phenomenally great rec. [late 1970s] of the Violin Concerto on two LP-editions. The one with the repro of Egon Schiele was for the 100th Anniversary & Berg-Year of 1985.
@LoveInner
Of Salieri, definitely to listen to the stunningly-great (première-) recordings of below, with the London Mozart Players & Les Talens Lyriques all in Top Form!
@mikeirons12
Another very great composition sadly categorized with "B"... How many will have discovered that Alban Berg quoted for his "Lyric Suite" from this magnificent composition of Zemlinsky? Anyway, below an outstanding and very great recording with very greatest Top Musicians.
@tonyprinciotti
Indeed. See also the relief of below in the Marienkirche in Lübeck with Bach & Buxtehude together on it. Also concerning Bach's musical development his visit to this city to meet Buxtehude was of tremendous importancy.
@francemusique
Renata Scotto, une Très Grande Dame Par Excellence!! Pour tout ceux qui ne l'avaient pas vu avant ou qu'il serait une nouveauté, en dessous un enrégistrement public [1968] avec La Scotto dans l'opéra "Robert le Diable" en version italienne. Ré-édité aussi en CD par Melodram.
@ziomeo
I wouldn't hesitate if you'd have the opportunity to buy it: this 1st 1990-Edition has also all the librettos and liner notes with added beautiful engravings. All this which the 2d re-edited Mozart-Edition with the same amount of 180 discs of ten years later did not have at all!
@LoveInner
I thought that the three magnificent & stunningly-great 'Must-Hear'-recordings of below might already be wonderful suggestions, and have a look on it.
@LoveInner
As I had said before, besides the core repertoire Fricsay has done a lot to conduct also works of 20th century composers which figure seldom at concerts today, and below one of those very great recordings, here on a CD-release of 1994 which was part of a then issued Fricsay-set.
@mikeirons12
The RVW-5th is a very great Symphony. I'm sorry but one of my Favorite British Symphonies will always be the 6th Symphony of Arnold Bax! With a Vintage-Recording, and first release-version, of Bryden Thomson below.
@LoveInner
Too many to choose, but for now Two Golden Oldies: Jean Martinon [1973-rec. Salle Wagram, Paris], the Dutch composer & Debussy-Specialist Hans Henkemans. A magnificent one with Montserrat Caballé & Wyn Morris (sadly NLA...), and a newer very great one with the Jerusalem Quartet.
@LoveInner
Indeed wonderful! But if I may add, this: it's the later & other Borodin Quartet - Remake on Melodiya, and not the earlier recorded Melodiya-version made at the time when Shostakovich still lived and being present at the recording sessions during the 1960s. These are on Chandos.
@LoveInner
And I forgot the equally very great recording [1982] of Heinz Holliger, (the late) Thomas Füri, Thomas Demenga & Camerata Bern, in the incredibly beautiful Triple Concerto in D Major (sadly never performed anywhere else at concerts, except for this magnificent recording [...])
@LeonidasPlatan1
Not on the list either those great 2d Symphonies [!]: Arnold Bax, Erwin Schulhoff, Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Kurt Weill, Henri Dutilleux, Viktor Ullmann, and more.
@eigenuser1
@LoveInner
Well, concerning the Chamber Concerto of Berg, here it is, Isaac Stern in the magnificent recording with Peter Serkin, LSO & Claudio Abbado. Combined with another 'must-have-heard'-Brahms-CD-set.
@BarbaraSCohen00
Prokofiev had a very strong influence on Alexander Tcherepnin, who idolized him, but it is Tcherepnin who is still completely overshadowed (also commercially) by Prokofiev & Shostakovich. Below the recording of the very impressive 6th Piano Concerto [1965].
@mikeirons12
Below the first LP-release of this magnificent recorded version. As Okko Kamu recorded the Nos. 1, 2, and 3, DG could reissue a LP-box-set with the 7 Symphonies, with the first three of Kamu and 4-7 with Karajan (who didn't record these first 3 for DG).
@LoveInner
The outstanding recordings of Jean Martinon of Debussy [c1973], already become 'Golden-Classics' may not be omitted or forgotten either. Below in a LP-set of c1974.
@LoveInner
The shown recordings are all very great and wonderful. Below two of a newer most impressive Mendelssohn-Cycle, in the City of Birmingham in which Mendelssohn himself conducted.
@deeplyclassical
@LoveInner
Great to see this, other than the mentioned composers. But let's not forget either Mackerras' extraordinary contributions for recording a lot of Delius! For the other specialties and stunningly-great recordings: also this one with Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga & Ján Václav Vorisek.
@LennyBernstein
Below the first release and LP-version [1977] of this most Memorial Charity Concert in Munich, with extraordinary & excellent performances [!]
@MozartCircle
These recordings of Böhm & VPO are indeed wonderful! But the other stunningly-great & magnificent ones of Klaus Thunemann, the ASMF & Neville Marriner on Philips couldn't be avoided either I think.
@JaneTim8
Below the very impressive 3rd String Quartet of Artur Schnabel, and especially with this composition, terrific also as a composer, on a CD released in the late 1980s, but circulating for just a short time.
@LoveInner
Also the least often or seldom mentioned but incredibly impressive & magnificent recordings of below show how wide Rozhdestvensky's repertoire is/was. Here with the Swedish 20th century composer Ingvar Lidholm and the Dutch Matthijs Vermeulen, with his Symphonies Nos. 2, 6, and 7
@LoveInner
Besides the mentioned recordings of above, with the version of Perlman/Ozawa in particular, first of all the All-Time-Golden-Classic with Isaac Stern & the composer himself as conductor. Next to it, I'd recommend also the newest CD-release of Isabelle Faust on Harmonia Mundi.
@LoveInner
Below the original LP-cover with the Concerto of Berg, with those legendary recordings of Sibelius & Beecham, and Prokofiev with Mitropoulos.
@ClassicalCritic
Kurt Masur war (80er Jahren) oft zu viel betrachtet wie ein 'Aushangschild' der DDR und dass hat Masur selbstverständlich mit viel Ärgernis bedauerd. Nun ja, unten einer der schönsten Plattenaufnahmen [c1982-'83] der DDR-Zeit, mit diese 3 selten aufgeführte Symphonien Max Bruchs.
@mikeirons12
For those for whom it still might be new, see below of what the eminent Liszt Connoisseur, Researcher, and Chairman Leslie Howard of the British Liszt Society, has done with so much labor during decades, to get recorded the ENTIRE Legacy for Piano of Liszt on more than 100 CDs!
@Ernesto11022018
@LoveInner
The emphasis of Böhm's repertoire was especially focussed on Mozart-Wagner-Strauss with the symphonic core repertoire during the last 20 years of his life. But at times he conducted also operatic works which were more rarely staged of Gottfried von Einem, and also some Verdi.
@LoveInner
At least at the 1st place the ones of the composer himself. For now and 'a bit of change' besides so many Legendary Golden Oldies, here two newer/newest and very impressive ones below.
@francemusique
Génial qu'on a rendu l'hommage! Sinon je suis toujours un peu surpris qu'il n'y a pas autant de sculptures de Ravel à Paris. En dessous, à l'exception [!], une photo prise par moi, d'une sculpture [1993] par Niko de Wit à la salle de concert de TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Pays-Bas
@hairygit
@deeplyclassical
Well, from the very 1st hearing on I was haunted by the 3rd act of Siegfried, and especially listening to Helga Dernesch in the part "Heil dir Sonne", in Karajan's phenomenal Ring recording [1969].
@LoveInner
For some it may or might be lesser known that Rozhdestvensky conducted also works of Frederick Delius, that these live-performances were once released on the no longer existing label BBC Radio Classics, and that Chandos made magnificent recordings with works of Ingvar Lidholm.
@OrpheusL
...But fortunately not on the magnificent new discs of John Wilson on Chandos, like this very impressive Volume 2 below of the Copland-series.
@LoveInner
Couldn't be without the following four amazingly wonderful and very great recordings/discs of below! Brendel in the 1970s, FiDi & Richter in Top Form, the incredibly charming Rondo in A D. 438 with the ASMF-Marriner & Josef Suk, and one of the least known/performed vocal Schubert
@LoveInner
Definitely opting for this one below, the outstanding 1960s-recordings (originally of Melodiya) and version of the original members. The Nos. 14 & 15 were recorded in the mid-1970s by Melodiya as well but with the Beethoven-Quartet. With the addition of the German-LP-version-set.
@LoveInner
Great recordings of above! I'd suggest these other very impressive ones of below: "Coro" [1975-'76], another newer version of "Rendering" on Chandos, and one of the recorded Classics, with Cathy Berberian & Heinz Holliger.
@FredReibell
One of those magnificent and outstanding recordings of two (almost completely forgotten but great) Czech composers which are seldom mentioned anywhere else or nothing at all if it's on so-called Top-Ten-Lists of conductors. The work "Seven Reliefs" of Jarmil Burghauser: amazing!
@RMRoss_
Well..., if one is a composer, and to compose already such a great masterpiece, as Boulez did, like his 2d Piano Sonata in 1948 [!], just 23 years old, and later his "Pli selon pli", not many might/could equal this. Even if & that he could be too harsh towards other composers!...
@LoveInner
Besides all the mentioned phenomenally great Kubelik recordings, below Karl Amadeus Hartmann & Alexander Tcherepnin (and as pianist in this Top Notch recording of 1968).
@murmurations24
Continuing further on the last comment, below three CD-releases with the Piano Concertos and recordings which I cherish infinitely. For Scharwenka-1 also the rec. of Marc-André Hamelin. The Bax "Winter Legends" [1929] is not a 'Concerto', but I treasure & worship it enormously.
@LoveInner
Besides the awarded ones of Rameau ("Les Indes Galantes" with an Edison during the 1990s) and Haydn with the Orkest van de 18e Eeuw, which are magnificent, also his earlier 1970s-rec. of Frans Brüggen as flutist which were made for the SEON-Series, here with the Philips-versions.
@deeplyclassical
Below a (to my mind) magnificent & strongly recommended CD-release with Ries' incredibly beautiful 8th & 9th Piano Concertos. Hope that more music lovers will discover his music (the same as I still hope for his contemporaries like Boïeldieu, Méhul, Cramer, Field, Dussek, a.o.)
@mikeirons12
Those 50,8 % who have voted C, wondering how many of them would have ever listened to this Treasure-Release and Vintage-Recording with Grande Dame Par Excellence for Rossini, Marilyn Horne! [...] Including the other Top Notch Soloists, below for this LP-set of about 40 years ago.
@MozartCircle
@ASMForchestra
Indeed! ALL these recordings are outstanding and phenomenally great: the digital remake-recordings, and also the earlier Philips-rec.-1970s! Like the ones of below. Including (if I may add): the magnificent rec. [1970-'71] of the "London Sketchbook" K. 15, & the ASMF in Top Form!
@operamagazine
@MaestroMuti
Something which I don't see in other comments on the Great Riccardo Muti, his industrious research and later in his magnificent recordings of operas of Gaspare Spontini and religious works of Luigi Cherubini.
@LoveInner
One of the very greatest Beethoven-Cycles & 'Golden-Oldies' ever made & committed for recordings, and the VPO in Top Form! But (to my mind) the LP-set [1970s] of below had a much more remarkable cover than the CD-release of above.
@aquilanebula
It's always nice to listen to Gardiner's very 1st & earliest recordings [late 1970s] in it, with his then formed "Monteverdi Orchestra" (with modern instruments) in Rameau, and to compare with his later founded English Baroque Soloists on period instruments from the 1980s on.
@LoveInner
Besides the very great mentioned ones here those of below (numerous are magnificent): the Golden-Oldies like Fricsay, Ancerl, Maazel [1981], Karajan-Philharmonia Orchestra-mono-1950s-version, and there is a great newer one of Neeme Järvi on Chandos.
@francemusique
Concernant l'histoire de Karajan et le parti nazi, il faut vraiment lire la biographie immense [1998] par Richard Osborne si on veut savoir plus de la vérité et de ce qui se passait!
@BrendanEWK
Below a stunningly-great 2-CD-set with magnificent performances of all the 4 Piano Concertos and first release ever of the 4 Concertos together in just one & single CD-release-version!
@jvhalbrooks
@mikeirons12
If I may add, I'd include also the Requiem of Franz von Suppé (which was circulating on CD) and "Die letzten Dinge" [1826] of Louis Spohr. Below the cover of the CD which appeared for the Spohr-Year 1984 (but this release disappeared sadly all too soon...)
@BrendanEWK
For the readers and also for 'newcomers' who see it for the 1st time, here below the outstanding 1st recording of Rudolf Kempe [1972]. But there are two equally and newer vintage recordings which cannot be avoided at all: the two on Chandos with Matthias Bamert and John Wilson.
@murmurations24
Equally very great of Barbirolli in M6 to listen to is his magnificent live-performance with the Berlin Philharmonic on the label Testament. As if Barbirolli might have done lots of industrious 'groundwork' before Karajan tackled & took up the M6 during the 1970s for DG.
@EthicsSteve
Not to forget either, the magnificent recordings of Leslie Howard as part of his extraordinary 100-CDs-project, a kind of Lifetime Undertaking of almost 20 years, with the Legacy for Piano of Franz Liszt, here with Beethoven's Nine, including the earlier 1st transcr.-versions!
@Opernjunkie
Indeed such a pity and sad that it's never programmed for concerts in concert halls. Anyway, there is also a newer and equally very great recording on Hyperion, coupled with another beautiful Piano Concerto, also seldom heard, of Reynaldo Hahn.
@tonyprinciotti
The ASMF & Marriner recorded many seldom or never performed/recorded Overtures for this great disc [c1992] of below, like "Faniska", "Les Abencérages", "Eliza", L'Hôtellerie portugaise", the magnificent Concert Overture in D, a.o.
@GGarciaMoreau
Below on awarded LP (Grand Prix du Disque), Edda Moser incredibly magnificent and phenomenally great in the Cantatas of Henze (rec. 1960s), especially the (shamefully seldom performed but amazingly impressive) "Cantata della fiaba estrema" [1963] and really a 'must-hear'!
@tonyprinciotti
To be added, and few have written on it, that Chopin performed in Vienna, 1830, Hummel's then brand new and very beautiful Piano Concerto in A-flat op. 113 under the eye & ear of Hummel himself. It had a tremendous impact on Chopin. Below the magnificent recording of it.
@LoveInner
The list of recordings are very great, and I cherish the Chandos-releases! But I'm missing an all-time-favorite, the fabulous and very great late-1970s-recordings of Václav Neumann (which opened the ways to Martinu 40 years ago). Here with two never reissued but great LPs.
@LoveInner
Below the exceptionally very great and historically important recordings of Kathleen Ferrier together with Benjamin Britten & Peter Pears, here with LP-cover.
@MozartCircleCN
@MozartCircle
@LPOrchestra
These Liszt rcordings are indeed outstanding and very great!! Below the 1970s-LP-cover (the 'British version' of it, as there was also the German international cover with the same photo.)
@NLebrecht
Let's remember that Ingrid Haebler recorded wonderfully the Keyboard Concertos of Johann Christian Bach during the early 1970s, at a time when it was quite a Novelty to record this lesser known but also infinitely charming repertoire.
@ElisaC79670625
Renato Fasano re-edited and has worked on the charming (early) Two Symphonies op. 18 [1787] of Muzio Clementi which are on this wonderful disc of below.
