I took a shot at it emphasizing recording/sound quality. For the smaller works and some others, there are too many options and I would not recommend buying a whole disc for one small work. Beethoven – Symphony No.5 in C minor Honeck/Pittsburgh (Reference Recordings FR-718SACD)
J.S. Bach – Toccata and Fugue in D minor (on great organ) Biggs (Sony Classical SS 87983) Vivaldi – The Four Seasons Podger (Channel Classics CCS SA 40318)
Maurice Ravel - Bolero Jarvi.Cincinnati (Telarc SACD-60601) Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suites Aadland/Cologne (Audite 92.651)
Beethoven Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125
"Messiah" by George Frideric Handel Davis/Toronto (Chandos CHSA 5176)
Richard Strauss Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 Steinberg/Boston (Deutsche Grammophon 47986690) Wagner Die Walküre, WWV 86B (Ring der Nibelungen) Haenchen/Nederlans PO (Etcetera KTC 5501)
Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Suite Too many |
I have no idea. It would depend on my mood. That's why I keep a large collection. |
"Just listening to a spectacular CD from Analogue Productions of Rachmaninoff “Symphonic Dances” with the Dallas Symphony. Good as, if not better, than any SACD." OK. It was greatly feted in its time but I've always found it coarse and brash, both in sound and performance. Previn (EMI stereo), Oue (Reference stereo) and Jansons (RCO mch) are superior in every way. IMO, of course. 😎 |
