My tip for the top of the most unwanted and least popular classical CD that you couldn't give away yet alone sell: The Sven-Goran Eriksson Classical Collection.  :P
I wonder if this was actually a commercial flop for Naxos...

You may be wrong - 2 five-star reviews! Now I want it.  ;D 

Maybe this entry from the Naxos series "Concepts in Music," exploring innovative settings of classic pieces. It was a little too strange for my, and most peoples', tastes. Hurwitz gave it 1/7.

EDIT: 1/7, not 1/8.

Some may disagree, but



Like putting ketchup on ice cream, IMO.  Both wonderful, but when combined you might as well toss down the drain.

I'd like to hear his 104.

The "heaviest" (for lack of better term) that I enjoy Haydn has been Solti, who can kick.  I was going to throw HvK's Mozart Symphonies 39-41 on to this heap as well, but for some twisted reason, unknown to me, I actually enjoy them.  >:D

You know I had a feeling that I would see a recording that I actually liked on this thread, BUT THAT WAS FAST!  I like that recording thank you very much. :P

Yeah, this type of thread could damage a person's psyche. I guess if only one of my faves shows up on this thread I won't worry too much. But if it becomes a dog-pile of my faves I may have to just slink right off this board.

In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

However, David, we break even due to you personally being responsible for my unending appreciation of Haydn's Piano Trios performed by the BAT!  0:)

Could you please link to that review? Hurwitz is always entertaining.

Wasn't there some bizarre series that was trying to eroticize classical music with releases such as "Shaking up to Chopin" and "Bedroom Bliss with Beethoven?"

Edit: BTW judging from the reviews, Beethoven and Chopin failed in this aim, but Mozart succeeded:

Beet, Moz, Chop.

I guess Beating off to Bartók would be a conceptual failure...
