Classical Music for Aficionados

Thanks for starting this, RV and thanks for the acknowledgment, Al.

I’m not a huge classical music aficionado but over the years, some pieces have certainly captivated me. Two that have are:

1) Stravinsky’s "Symphony of Psalms". Another commendable work by IS. The version I own is below as listed in Discogs. Not saying the recording is audiophile quality but I do enjoy the music very much.

From Discogs...
Stravinksky* / Poulenc* - Saramae Endich, The Robert Shaw Chorale and RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw ‎– Symphony Of Psalms / Gloria
Label: RCA Victor Red Seal ‎– LSC-2822

From Discogs...
2) Isaac Stern - Leonard Bernstein - New York Philharmonic* - Barber* / Hindemith* ‎– Two Twentieth Century Masterpieces - Violin Concertos
Label: Columbia Masterworks ‎– MS 6713

The above a gift received many years ago. Everyone knows Samuel Barber’s "Concerto for Violin & Orchestra" (and rightly so) but it was Paul Hindemith’s violin concerto on the same LP that won me over. Here on You Tube is the Hindemith concerto from the same LP. Hope you enjoy it. PH doesn’t get enough love ;-)

Thanks for that nicely manageable core recordings list, Schubert.  Appreciate your input.  HUGE library you have, by my standards.  How the heck do you manage it?...given you have moved a bit lately or so I think.
