Thank you very much to both of you. Regarding the watching of the score - indeed god point- I will keep it in mind. Thanks again.
Famous and favorite recordings
Hello everyone,
I am a pretty new classical music lover, initiated mostly by my 8 years old son who is playing piano. For him and for me, I am kindly asking yu to help me with your recomandations. Please enumerate those famous (or your favorite) recordings, that will be an unmatched synergy between composition, conducting (if it is the case) and interpratation. I hope you understand what I mean - there are those strange magic irepetable moments when such things are happening (especially in music).
Thank you very much
PS If it will be easier for you, please post a link.

Here are four outstanding piano recordings in which the music, the performer, the performance and the recording are all perfectly matched... Ivan Moravec playing Chopin's Ballades and Mazurkas, from the original Connoisseur Society recordings, VAIA 1092 Nomura Nojima Plays Liszt, Reference Recordings, #25 Nomura Nojima Plays Ravel, Reference Recordings #35 Michaelangeli performaning Debussy's Images I & II and Children's Corner, DG415372 . |
A little "age appropriate" orchestral music with a magical combination of music, interpretation, performance and recording... Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" and Saint-Saens' "Carnival of the Animals" performed by the London Symphony conducted by Skitch Henderson, Decca/Polygram -- lots of alternative choices in this music, but these recordings are favorites of mine and hit a good balance. Many like the Bernstein; these are a bit less "over the top." Britten's "Simple Symphony" and "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchesta", Britten/ECO, Decca Prokofiev's "Classical Symphony" and Bizet's "Symphony in C" performed by Marriner and the Academy of St. Martins in the Field, Decca/Polygram (this appears to be out of print at the moment, but this links to what I believe is an available copy, used) . |
Pictures at an Exhibition - Reiner and the CSO (I love the sound of the new SACD) Beethoven Symphonies 5 and 7 - Carlos Kleiber and the VPO Bach Two and Three Part Inventions - Schiff Schubert's Trout Quintet and Mozart's Clarinet Quintet - Music from Marboro Regarding The Trout I wish I could recommend the British TV film of the 1969 live performance by Jacqueline Du Pre, Daniel Barenbohm, Itzak Perlman, Pichas Zuckerman and Zubin Mehta, but it seems out of print. It's not the most polished performance, but the joie de vivre of the artists and the music makes as good an introduction to classical music as I can imagine. |
