Classical Music for Aficionados
I would like to start a thread, similar to Orpheus’ jazz site, for lovers of classical music.
I will list some of my favorite recordings, CDs as well as LP’s. While good sound is not a prime requisite, it will be a consideration.
Classical music lovers please feel free to add to my lists.
Discussion of musical and recording issues will be welcome.
I’ll start with a list of CDs. Records to follow in a later post.
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Vanguard Classics — Vienna Festival Orch. Prohaska, conductor.
Prokofiev: Scythian Suite et. al. DG — Chicago Symphony Abbado, conductor.
Brahms: Symphony #1. Chesky — London Symph. Orch. Horenstein, conductor.
Stravinsky: L’Histoire du Soldat. HDTT — Ars Nova. Mandell, conductor.
Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Analogue Productions. — Dallas Symph Orch. Johanos, cond.
Respighi: Roman Festivals et. al. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
All of the above happen to be great sounding recordings, but, as I said, sonics is not a prerequisite.

I never thought about it before, but that's so true, our genre chooses us. That's why so many great jazz musicians are from Detroit and Chicago. I was in Detroit when it was "the" greatest city in this country for the working man. It seemed everybody drove a brand new car, dressed well and lived in a nice home. Michael Moore, who's from that area, thought they were rich when he was a child; he always got what he wanted for Christmas and his family went on a vacation every year. His father worked on an assembly line, the same as other people in the Detroit area who enjoyed a high standard of living. Len, I think I'll try to learn about Classical music, but I didn't like Bach. |
Beethoven 9, 2nd movement: I remember when this was the Theme for the NBC nightly news, with David Brinkley and Chet Huntley. This was before we had channels devoted to either Left-wing liars or right-wing liars. Back then, they just reported what happened that day. Seems sort of quaint now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8FnmdNi-Xc I actually have this performance of the 9th on CD. Did not realize until this very moment that it's on SACD! Cheers |
