Schumann: Cello Concerto - Schiff/Haitink/Berlin Philharmonic.

[Brian]

Hey, this looks cool.

This disc is bunches of fun, and it's cool hearing the Czech orchestras in this music. The finale of "Bacchus" has more punch than the Martinon recordings, in part thanks to the maybe more primitive (stereo) recording.

Just delightful. 

[Brian]

First-ever listen to this celebrated (legendary?) recital.

CD 2 of this very pleasant set....

First-ever listen to this celebrated (legendary?) recital.

Wait, did he change the last chord of the Bach/Busoni from minor-key to major-key? That's kind of a major intervention.

Since you're still looking for suggestions, do you hsppen to know this iconic Van Nevel recording?

Liszt: Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne [Masur]....

[Mandryka]

Marc Mauillon sings Machaut's Qui n'aroit autre deport. From the point of view of instruments, the accompaniment, this is really interesting and very successful IMO.

[KeithE]

Very nice disc!

No. I don't know that one but it's on my wishlist along with a few more of their recordings - they've been quite prolific. But you're right, I'm open to suggestions so thanks for this.

It's a great disc of some very special repertoire.

More Batagov.

[André]

Mass # 6, in E Flat, D. 950. A great Mass setting, and a beautiful interpretation. One of Harnoncourt's illuminating/illuminated efforts.


I also love the Leinsdorf BP recording (EMI, now Testament) with a stupendous cast (mind you, the soloists could very well be chorus members, as they have next to nothing to sing).
