Ok let's play this. In case you don't know Desert Island Discs is a popular BBC radio programme where public figures select the eight discs that they would choose to have with them if stranded on a Desert Island. Maybe we've done this before but here goes anyway. As a bonus you can choose one boxed set:
Miaskovsky: Symphony 6 (List/ UralPO)
Moeran: Symphony in G (Dilkes/English Sinfonia)
Bax: Symphony 3 (Downes/LSO)
Walton: Symphony 1 (Thomson/LPO)
Sibelius: Tapiola (Segerstam/Helsinki PO)
Bruckner: Symphony 9 (Furtwangler/Berlin PO)
Shostakovich: Symphony 11 '1905' (Pritchard/BBC SO)
David Diamond: Symphony 3 (Schwarz/Seattle SO)
Bonus boxed set: Vaughan Williams symphonies (LPO/Boult)
No need to mention orchestra/conductor.

We have! - because you sent me away to the BBC archive to listen to the episode where your friend described you two young fogies smoking your pipes and listening to Schoenberg. But at the risk of compiling a completely different list from previously:
John Browne:
Stabat mater (The Sixteen)
Byrd: The Quadran pavan & galliard (Davitt Moroney)
Bach:
Singet dem Herrn (Hilliard Ensemble. Knabenchor Hannover, London Baroque)
Haydn: Symphony no.94 (Concertgebouw/Davis)
Weber: 1st act trio from
Der Freischütz (Kleiber)
Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms (Craft)
Nielsen: Clarinet concerto (Karin Dornbusch)
Nick Drake:
From the morningAnd the boxed set offer seems terribly generous - you could have the complete Mozart/Beethoven/Bach - so I'll play within the spirit of the rules and have The Lindsays' Beethoven quartets.

My apologies! I did search 'Desert Island Discs' in the search facility but nothing came up and I'd forgotten that I'd shown off about my mention on the programme. Think it was probably VW rather that Schoenberg! Interesting choices.

Great choices - or rather ones that I largely share. I felt guilty about leaving out BS Symphony 4 and suspected that you'd rub it in by choosing it yourself! Much the same about Tubin.
Thanks to all for great postings.

Is that "O diese Sonne" or which piece is the trio?
Yes, you're right - what the score calls "no.2" - Terzett mit Chor, which begins with
O diese Sonne and ends with
Wir lassen die Hörner erschallen. In fact any or every number from
Freischütz would do just as well, except that there seems to be an unspoken rule in the BBC radio programme that you only have short pieces - single songs, arias or movements.

(I did not choose the Rubinstein Boxset just to avoid the misunderstanding that I am only choosing it because of the large number is discs in it)
These are the first that pop into my head, could change if I really dug deep into my collection, but I'm good with these...
Prokofiev: Symphonies No. 5 & 7 - Tennstedt/Bavarian RSO
Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 - Wand/Berlin

Great idea which I fully support. Abbey Road is great choice. I remember when the LP first came out - I was a teenager. I came home from school and the LP was on my bed. My mum had bought it for me even though it was not my birthday. Funny how almost fifty years later that still stays with me. :)

Is this the hard-to-find Philips recording made about 1982? I'm a fan of that one, but an even bigger fan of the 9th they did about the same time.

Great pick! And uncommon...
Pop/Rock
Bruce Springsteen The River
Backstreet Boys Nevergone
Backstreet Boys Unbreakable
Fleetwood Mac Rumours
The remaining four would be greatest hits compilations from Foreigner, the Beatles, Van Halen, and Guns n Roses.
The BSB CDs, btw, are two they released after their boy band peak, much more mature and high quality, in part because they had better than usual songwriters, especially on Nevergone.

Yes, I was too lazy to check the shelf for the date, but concerning this Bruckner VIII, it's the digital 2CD one from 1981, in my case coupled with a 1974 "Siegfried Idyll".
I also have it as a 3LP set, together with the mentioned 9th.
I'll have a go at non-classical:

More difficult than I imagined.
Brahms: Piano Concerto No.1 In D Minor - Pollini/Thielemann/Staatskapelle Dresden.
Brahms: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4 - Abbado/Berlin Phil.
Stravinsky: Apollo/Agon/Orpheus - Craft/LSO.
Bartok: Piano Concertos 1, 2 & 3 - Anda/Fricsay/Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.
Ravel: Gaspard de la Nuit - Michelangeli (BBC Legends 1959) Chamber Works - Kantorow/Muller/Rouvier.
Mahler 6: Horenstein/Stockholm Phil.
Prokofiev: Piano Concertos - Krainev/Kitajenko/Moscow Phil.
Debussy: Preludes 1 - Michelangeli.
Box - Shostakovich: String Quartets - Borodin Quartet.
No luxury item? Huh...
I'll do one featuring beat music later. ;D
Nice list (and probably the one with the most overlap with mine). The Bartok Piano Concertos might have been my very next pick.
Just a note that I am interpreting this as eight pop/rock discs which are perennial favorites of mine. Why? Taking the premise of being stranded on a desert island with eight pop/rock albums, how should I prevent growing sick even of Abbey Road? But of course, this is all fun, so . . .
(And keeping the eight to eight discs, no doubles)
Fleetwood Mac, Tusk
Jeff Beck, You Had It Coming
Jethro Tull, Minstrel in the Gallery
Ian Anderson, Homo erraticus
Frank Zappa, Freak Out! (which has seriously grown on me in its remastered glory)
Captain Beefheart, Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot
Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington
Chas Mingus, The Saint and the Sinner Lady
Bonus box: The Beatles Mono
Trying to go for a broad range of repertoire and ensemble types...
Lassus: Lagrime de San Pietro (Herreweghe)
Monteverdi: Vespers of 1610 (Boston Baroque)
Bach: Motets (Gardiner)
Mozart/Brahms: Clarinet Quintets (Berlin Soloists)
Debussy: Preludes Book II (Zimerman)
Schoenberg: Piano Concerto, Schoenberg/Webern/Berg: Piano Pieces (Uchida/Boulez)
Stravinsky: Threni, Requiem Canticles (Herreweghe)
Takemitsu: Garden Rain etc.
Boxed set: Tennstedt conducts Mahler Symphonies
Since I didn't add a non-classical list above:
Pop/Rock:
King Crimson, Red
Joe Jackson, Night & Day
Talk Talk, Spirit of Eden
Kate Bush, The Sensual World
Genesis, A Trick of the Tail
Cousteau, Cousteau
Seal, Seal
Roxy Music, Avalon
Boxed Set: King Crimson, Starless (Live 1973)
Jazz:
Cannonball Adderley, Something Else
Tina Brooks, True Blue
Anthony Williams, Life Time

Boxed set: Miles Davis, The Complete Columbia Album Collection

Jethro Tull, Minstrel in the Gallery
A Tull album would probably have been my #9. Though I would find it hard to decide between
Aqualung and
Songs from the Wood.
It would be fun to break down the Desert Island lists even further (chamber, early music, baroque, post-1950, solo piano, etc.). The possibilities are endless.

It does indeed overlap. And your choice of Szell/Curzon for the Brahms PC would also have been mine at one stage. I've told this story many times, but... An ex girlfriend was (mostly) responsible for introducing me to classical music. She was sure I'd like Brahms, but I just wasn't open to his work. I tried so hard, but I didn't like it. My ex was determined ("
But Brahms is very manly music! So it should appeal to you!" :laugh:) and her patience finally paid off when she let me hear the Szell/Curzon. It's still a recording I find wonderful.

LOL--very cool story!
My chamber music selection:
Bloch: SQ No.1 (an epic work)
Shostakovich: Piano Quintet
Shostakovich: Piano Trio
Vaughan Williams: Violin Sonata (a late, craggy masterpiece IMHO)
Vaughan Williams:SQ No.2 'For Jean on her Birthday'
Weinberg: Piano Quintet
Schnittke: Piano Quintet
Cesar Frank: Violin Sonata in A
Quote from: Thatfabulousalien on May 12, 2017, 01:58:22 AM
Xenakis - Orchestral Works (because I love practically all Xenakis, it's a matter of quantity for a box)
I don't have that much Xenakis (one not so big box and a few others, totally 10 or 12). They also have the advantage of annoying the neighbors and drive away household pests.
Couldn't remember if I'd replied to this thread - obviously not.
Classical Music:
Beethoven Pastoral Symphony - Bruno Walter Columbia SO
Liszt Transcendental Etudes - Claudio Arrau
Brahms PC 2 Richter, Leinsdorf
Beethoven Piano Sonatas - Serkin on M&A (so many choices here but his Waldstein won me over).
Schubert Symphonies 8&9 Sinopli
Rachmaninov preludes & etudes tableaux - Richter
Beethoven PC 4&5 Gilels, Ludwig
Verdi Requiem Pryce, Cossotto, Pavarotti, Ghiaurov, von Karajan, La Scala Milan.
Box set: Rubinstein Collection - not because its large but because its so good.
Pop, Rock, etc.
Dire Straits - Communique
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Peter Gabriel - So
Crowded House - Recurring Dream (a best of type of album)
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Grace Jones - Nightclubbin
Pink Floyd - The Wall (movie version)
The Greatest Voices of the Century - a cheap 2 CD compilation of many of the radio classics of the 20s, 30s, 40s, including Eddy/McDonald, Tauber, McCormack, Bjorling, etc. The music could possibly be classed as the original classical vocal crossover.
Box Set: That's Entertainment 6 CD set of the best from the MGM Musicals. There is also a Warner Bros version but MGM won out here.
Let's see, this might keep me happy on the island. Several of these are double-CDs (there's even a triple), but I've picked a relatively compact bonus box, so maybe it balances out?
André Isoir/Fretwork - Roberday: Les Fugues et Caprices / L. Couperin: Simphonies, Fantaisie & Duos
Masaaki Suzuki/Bach Collegium Japan - J.S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion
Paavali Jumppanen - Beethoven: Piano Sonatas, Opp. 31, 78, 79, 81a, 90
Eric Huebner - Schumann: Kreisleriana, Op. 16 / Carter: Night Fantasies / Stravinsky: 3 Movements from Pétrouchka
Antonio Barbosa - Chopin: Complete Mazurkas
Florestan Trio/Stirling/Hosford - Brahms: Piano Trios, Horn Trio, Clarinet Trio
Ed Spanjaard/Nieuw Ensemble/Various - Ferneyhough: La Chúte d'Icare, Superscriptio, Intermedio Alla Ciaccona, Études Transcendentales, Mnemosyne
Blum/Vigeland/Williams - Morton Feldman: Why Patterns? / Crippled Symmetry

Interesting choices of which I know very few.

Well, probably a mix of the highly familiar and the downright obscure. Or do you mean that I've picked unknown recordings of known repertoire? It's a very different game if we just choose musical works. Having to specify performers raises the stakes considerably.
The trickiest pick for me was maybe the Huebner recital. I knew I wanted Kreisleriana, but it doesn't fill a disc, so it was a matter of picking a performance I loved (Huebner's is top-five if not quite top-of-the-heap) and a pairing that was desert-island worthy. I'm not a huge fan of the solo piano Petrouchka movements, but Carter's Night Fantasies clinched it for me.
Non-classical list...
Beatles: White Album
David Bowie: The Rise and Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars
Tom Waits: Frank's Wild Years
Ray Lynch: No Blue Thing
Bjork: Vespertine
Natalie Merchant: Ophelia
Aphex Twin: Richard D James Album
Ween: The Mollusk
Sigur Ros: Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust
Belle and Sebastian: Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance
Emmylou Harris: Wrecking Ball

Tried to have only single discs, except for the 2CD Wagner recording in the middle......
If I were to choose a box set as well I would choose Boulez Oeuvres Complètes....but that does mean I'd have a duplicate of Répons and Dialogue de l'ombre double..........
I might substitute that duplication with some Scelsi or Furrer or Trevor Wishart's 'Red Bird' or something like that. Not sure yet.

Me too. I think his unique interpretative choices make this stand out amongst all the rest already in existence. And I love what he does here.

I meant that I don't know much of the music. I included particular performances myself but no need for anyone else to do so.

Dude, are you me?? :o
It's possible. my avatar for the longest time was of a sock monkey, hence the title of Monkey Greg, so there's also that. 8)
But regardless, you obviously have great taste in music.
Shostakovich: Symphony 4
Shostakovich: Symphony 11 '1905'
Bruckner: Symphony 9 (Rattle with finale)
Bax: Symphony 3
Vaughan Williams: A London Symphony (1920)
Miaskovsky: Symphony 17
Havergal Brian: Symphony 8
Sibelius: Tapiola
Here's mine - for now! In no particular order:
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81RyXYrz5sL._SX522_.jpg)
By far the best interpretation of these two much neglected works. Outstanding singing and sound.
(https://img.discogs.com/ueRL6-In5VvQTBZpTpHILHN17s8=/fit-in/600x593/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4931795-1416413570-5254.jpeg.jpg)
My introduction to Hindemith. Perfect.
(https://img.discogs.com/T4Pk_HiAQOLrpxwDSiB-0wl5_gg=/fit-in/600x580/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-8453406-1461923756-2504.jpeg.jpg)
(https://img.discogs.com/w_H9sD_zJBd5RvKaGpT2Hg_tMmI=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-3307717-1325067839.jpeg.jpg)
(https://img.discogs.com/4esxFN690zKUV8VHii7n4rSLUqE=/fit-in/600x596/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-8348113-1459849237-9947.jpeg.jpg)
(http://classicrecords.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/SLS851.jpg)
The 6th, in the original lp set that was my introduction to the work.
(https://img.discogs.com/NspmTUxwyu8DU14Lr4k-bLxNf4o=/fit-in/592x595/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4189570-1358555011-5475.jpeg.jpg)
The 8th. Not my first disc of the work, but the only one that has never wavered from the top position ever since I bought the set when it was first issued.
(https://img.discogs.com/rN7VDFcynhGpEj1kFC2AoSa_upI=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-5533632-1395846201-6004.jpeg.jpg)
The 8th again. A truly explosive disc (lp in those days).
(https://img.discogs.com/1qJKKtWmRgITZNHx9Zgp-KpVmTE=/fit-in/600x594/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-10757589-1503771485-7258.png.jpg)
Klemperer's is not the most exciting version, but it towers above all others by its refusal to play to the gallery.
(https://img.discogs.com/uifcWAQeQ4mCmd9qeBmjileS2Us=/fit-in/594x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-3658374-1339200387-8486.jpeg.jpg)
I'd still choose this one even though Gedda is not my first choice.
Oops ! 10 already. That's harder than I thought it would be.

My apologies! I did search 'Desert Island Discs' in the search facility but nothing came up and I'd forgotten that I'd shown off about my mention on the programme. Think it was probably VW rather that Schoenberg! Interesting choices.
I, too, searched for the same 3 words today and only got directed to hundreds of WAYLT entries. Todd helpfully provided me with this thread's link.

1. Before I listened to classical much, I would buy movie music. I thought for some reason that this would have the Kramer v. Kramer theme. It didn't, but I came to love it anyway.
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31lpzZ2SGtL.jpg)
2. How could anything be this good, and I'd never heard it? This was in 1987, maybe, my very first set of Mahler CDs, to go with my second CD player. I was so tired of buying my old pop/rock LPs on CDs. Classical came along at just the right time.
NO PICTURE
3. Schubert's Quintet D956. I have five unmarked versions in iTunes that I downloaded when I participated in a shootout here a few years back. Each is one long file that includes all the movements. They're marked K1 (52:40), K2 (53:51), K3 (53:36), K4 (55:14), and K5 (52:53). If anyone has any idea who's doing which version, I'd love to know. OTOH, I love the piece so much, I'm happy listening to all the versions.
[asin]B000A5B25W[/asin]4. I did not like Beethoven's Piano Sonatas until I heard this one disc. I had bought Gilels, Kempff twice, Goode, Gould, and others, and the music didn't pierce the ear-brain barrier. And then this disc came out, and I loved it. Now there's a box set with all of Lewis' sonatas.
(http://www.collegiumvocale.com/system/pictures/36/popup/BACH%20Matthaus%20Passion%20(1).jpg?1341222639)
5. One of the ones that convinced me that yes, I really do like classical music.
[asin]B000EBD84U[/asin]6. More movie music. I have the earlier edition.
[asin]B000F3T7RE[/asin]7. This is all I can think of now. I still have to consider chamber music, which I became more familiar with in this century. I love Shostakovich's String Quartets in particular. I can listen to this box set for days on end (I have the first edition; I don't think there was a remastering). It suits my mood. I wish the Jerusalem Quartet would record more of DSCH.
