@mahgister Sincere thanks for the reference to the Dorati Liszt Christus. I had never heard this magnificent work previously. A glorious recording with wonderful soloists and orchestra.
I am now hooked on finding more Liszt.
Mining classical music gold.
I’ve been streaming for months now. For some unexplainable reason I’ve been concentrating for the main part on the latest classical releases out there . Quizzically, I have ignored the unlimited access to recorded history that we have in our hands. Heifetz, Horowitz, Reiner, Toscanini, Piatigorsky, Stokowski and countless other twentieth century geniuses are copiously available. I just can’t believe it took me this long to wake up.
I’m writing this for any classical music lovers who, like me, have been blind to the mind-blowing potential afforded us.

@rvpiano -- Glenn Gould is the obvious starting point for Bach keyboard peformances. It's such an ingrained habit that I nearly forgot it. But somehow Mr. Horowitz and I never had a meeting of the minds. |
Vladimir Felstman...In Goldberg... My favorite... The pulse is irresistible...Pure joy...No concentrated serious demonstration only a riveting pulse like in an improvisation... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L2gfhLak-g&list=PLr0MsaDpKsY-biupbCUhZf55V3rNEzU_v https://www.bach-cantatas.com/NVD/BWV988-Feltsman.htm
He is also my prefered interpreter of the Well tempered Klavier with a poetical touch contrasting with the perfect cold mastery of Schiff my second choice...
