For some reason I find myself less enthusiastic about some of Nanut's concerto recordings. There is a complete set of the Beethoven piano concertos, but I don't find his usual soloist, Dubravka Tomsic, much to my taste - she often sounds a little 'clunky' to me. Also I recently obtained and then threw away a Dvorak cello concerto that didn't seem very special. The Brahms PCs listed above are OK, nothing more. Nanut is best when he is in complete control - just Nanut and an orchestra.
I would love to hear his Brahms symphonies, but have never come across any recordings. Also more Bruckner - the site Romy found says that all 9 were in Nanut's repertoire, but I somehow think he only recorded the 8th - I would love to be proved wrong!
Rgds, Jerry
