The Prokofiev Romeo and Julliet to get is the Maazel/Cleveland Orch recording on London or Decca. It was on The Absolute Sound's preferred list for sound and performance. I just love it. How about opera? The Bernstein "Carman" is wonderfully recorded and performed. ..and lets not forget the London/Decca "Ring". The first opera (I know, it's a "Music Drama" not an opera) is Das Reingold. Your neighbors will call you wondering if your house is still standing at the "Rainbow Bridge" section.
Classical Music LPs recommendations
Hello again,
Im just getting into classical music as i build my music collection.
Can anyone here share some good classical lps.
I prefer something that won't make me fall asleep.
Something with big, dynamic sound like:
the classical music section from Thorens 125 anniv album
Massenet: Ballet Music from Le Cid
Cantate Domino.
Not much into piano. The recording has to be quite good and the music has to be exciting. Re-issue Lps would be fine as the original are quite dear.
would appreciate some inputs. Some friends have recommended:
Ataulfo Argenta / Espana!
John Lanchbery / Herold: La Fille Mal Gardee
Ernest Ansermet / The Royal Ballet/ Gala Performances
Donald Johanos / Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances & Vocalise
Fritz Reiner / Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade
Thanks in advance.
