Chopin's Nocturnes (Moravec)


I'm happiest with this one so far.

Hans Pfitzner.

Symphony in C sharp minor, opus 36a.


Bamberg SO/Werner Andreas Albert.


A dark and deep work, tones of Mahler/Bruckner are there. The first movement "Moderato" is disturbing and makes me very sad. At the same time I feel the force that comes out this composition. It fits my mood!
The sound is good and warm with plenty of detail.

Mahler: Symphony No.1 - French National Orchestra / Igor Markevitch, Live 1967

Thin sounding, serious lack of bass on the recording, worthwhile nonetheless.

I blame Mark's MP3 vs. WAV thread for making me want to listen to this.

Althought at times I wish I had access to Choo Choo's Bruckner collection to listen to. :)

George is no joke when it comes to reccomendations.


Boring Andy is once again having a wonderful date with Joseph Haydn's opus 55 (Kodaly Quartet)

One cannot have too many Op. 73's on the shelf IMO Andy....I may have to add this one down the road to my collection.

The Michelangeli/Giulini for me. Op. 73 around the world.
I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.

I'm going to stop recommending this as a choice for the complete mazurkas. Not because there's a better overall choice for the 51, but because it doesn't match performances by certain pianists who recorded just a few. No point in taking quantity over quality either.

I was peer pressured by others from just a few posts above me. :)

Scriabin- Black Mass Sonata, played by some guy on Youtube. Probably my favorite Scriabin sonata, its so heavenly in an evil way  >:D.

before that, I listened to the op.72 Vers la Flamme played by Horowitz. It was the first time I heard it, and as expected, its some sweeeeeeeet stuff  8)
