Best Classic Music in My Collection |
||
| Nikolaj
Znaider plays Ysase and Wieniawski. What I can say is it is simply the best. Best player and best Guarneri del Gesu violin you can find. |
Ivan
Moravec plays Chopin Norturnes. The CD if you want to understand Norturnes or understand Moravec. |
Vengerov
plays Ysase. Personally, I think Znaider is better than Vengerov. But it is still great to have two best CDs in the collection for a comparison. |
| Dvorak
No.9, "From the New World". Jascha Horenstein conducts Royal Phiharmonic, 1962. Chesky Records. |
Beethoven
No. 6, "Pastoral" Bernstein conducts Vienna Philharmonic, 1978, DG. (Don't buy Bernstein's No. 9! ) |
Chicago,
the Musical. |
| Perlman
& Ashkenazy play Brahms violin sonata No.3, Op. 108. The most joyful one of Brahms' three sonatas, which is unusual for Brahms, but good for me. |
Kreisler
plays Kreisler This is a valuable monotone CD of the great violinist and composer. |
Saint-Saens,
Dutoit conducts Philharmonia Orchestra, violin Kyung Wha Chung A Splendid CD from Decca. |
| Holst,
"The Planets Suite". Handley conducts Royal Philharmonic, 1993. Tune to Mars and Jupiter if we want to burn your Hi-Fi. |
