Don't say gold under this administration... ![]()
I don't have all the composers you mentioned. One or two, maybe.
You have gotten me re-interested in my classical music collection by bringing up some real gems, thank you rvpiano!
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.
Since we’re generally off the main topic here, I’d like to recommend a string quartet I discovered on IDAGIO : Quator Arod. Incredible rendering of the Haydn Op. 76 String Quartets and Debussy Quartet. |
My favorite Version on Tacet (Tubes only recording ) of Haydn quatuors: The sound is gorgeous and the interpretation is top notch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plmy7D4myes&list=RDplmy7D4myes&start_radio=1
I am not alone thinking this way about them : |
I agree with the suggestions on the Bach solo violin. I also would add Christian Tetzlaff. Still on Bach, there is the great Mass in B Minor. There is the great version with Karl Richter and the Munich Bach Choir, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau at the peak of his career. However, I really line the Pygmalion with Raphael Pichon. Fischer-Dieskau, but really great choir works. |
