From the linear notes of the recent release of Andreas Staier's Schumann album - Tribute to Bach: "1836 - One evening I went to the Leipzig cemetry to seek the resting place of a great man: I searched for hours, all over the place - but found no 'J.S. Bach'. And when I asked the gravedigger about it...

I think there may be some kind of set on BIS...I like him and have been playing a bunch of Evgeny Svetlanov's discs on Moscow Studio recently, the Operas are great and there are a couple of really good discs by Kees Bakels and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, I kid you not ...but have never he...

I do not know which piece by Mendelssohn is his ultimate masterpiece, but, 2 most under rated masterworks by him in my opinion are the Concerto for violin, piano and strings in D minor and the Concerto for piano and strings in a A minor. A must for any fans of classical music, and the best recording...

Greetings Rolf!

The orchestra will rehearse again in March, and perform in May, August and...

With Peter Serkin , she's playing the Berg Chamber Concerto for piano and violin with thirteen wind instruments , the first Berg piece to which I listened in its entirety, and which immediately enthralled me. It's really for that piece that I decided that we should go to Symphony this weekend; the ...

I am not a fan of ALL the Bruckner symphonies, but I have a special place for No. 5 in B-flat Major, especially with Hans Knappertsbusch who led the Vienna Philharmonic on a British Decca recording. I also have privately-issued recordings with Furtwängler that are quite thrilling, but on No. 5, Kna...

The sad fact is the commercial mentality governing big music corporations these days. If it isn't going to sell they won't record it. The independents probably cannot afford to produce the recordings. Many do it as a labour of love, hoping just to recover their outlay. There were times when DG issu...

To be slightly ignorant of the original question on this thread, i would skip the veterans and be bold and shout out loud: When we have so many Dvorak 9ths on the market, why do we need more? Well, it is so well crafted and skillfully written, and with an interpretation done so well one cannot help ...

Ah i just attended her recital here in Malaysia not too long ago of the complete Chopin preludes. Bravo Ms. Acosta!

I've heard that the Shostakovich disc by the Royal Concertgebouw is quite good. Perhaps now that it has some hardware to its name I will need to pick it up! ;) It is close to perfect, at least when i compare it with Bernstein/CSO. (which is no less good) The interpretation flows and the RCO's sound...

Context often determines response and I'm not surprised Bell went unrecognized by most. Even classical music lovers do not expect world-class musicians to perform at a subway station.

I was shown in History class today a video of the titled programme. Is there a commerical recording in dvd/cd format available nowadays? If so on which label? The beautiful ensemble is the Monteverdi orchestra, which i believe Gustav Leonhardt performs on harpsichord (if not mistaken?).

The list of records available for these 2 works are overwhelming. Which versions are the best at a reasonable price?

The lyric pieces speak for themselves (Emil Gilels on DGG), if you have time to seat down, a good Peer Gynt recording would be so much more than elevator or flight music!

We should be happy that we now have so many great orchestras, say compared to fifty years ago. Reading Norman Lebretch's 'The Maestro Myth', a thought occured to me.
