Nope, I am not going to threaten you with one of those threads “what would be the best…?” Still, the Wiener Philharmoniker has a CD of the “Best Of Wiener Philharmoniker”… witch is… surprise, surprise IS the best they play. Well, I would say that the...

It is Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts BBC Proms with European Union Youth Orchestra It is very good, but… I do not think that this is THE WAY to play Mozart. I would get it as Brahms or Sibelius Concerto but not the Mozart. She is overly idealistic and s...

First, the Fifth: The first movement is indeed a stunner, nothing comes close. For the rest, I can line up competition. But no matter! The "live" aspect trumps all.The Met, indeed, had its moments but was not a keeper.The Traviata was terrific! Even ...

[quote user="JANDL100"]I'm not that 'into' Debussy or Ravel, so I thought some Beethoven sonatas might give me a better idea of his playing to start off with. [/quote]

As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

The Levine’s Mozart was not exiting, the last week and this week… I hope today on Saturday, the last convert of the series with the most famed Mozart symphony the BSO will show off something more interesting.
However, today was something very remark...

… the barbarism of broadcasts industry takes over. I found the Levine’s Saturday play was very good very good, even those I am not as exuberant as Clark is about it. I like what Levine BSO did but I would like to have it more fundamental and more Moz...

a very good take on ones 'motivation' of musical likes and dislikes. In fairness I have listened to some rendition of Brahms’s 2nd piano concerto and it has something more for me, yet it might just simply be more 'accessible'? Maybe it has some sort ...

Scherchen's Moving Mozart Requiem, June 11, 2005I have little objectivity when it comes to this magisterial Scherchen account of Mozart's Requiem. My first versions on LP in the 1970's were Bruno Walter's and Sir Thomas Beecham's (the former now on ...

The Boston FM radio and my Sansui TU-X1 tuner gave another magnificent treat - a whole weekend of Bruno Walter music. I always liked Bruno Walter, although he never was my “buy on spot” conductor. Performances of some conductor (for instance Sc...

Well, I do it manually and I use folders. While the usual arrangement is by period then composer you can also place shortcuts within a folder for cross-referencing, eg a folder 'Mozart Piono Concerto, Clara Haskil' can contain a shortcut to a 'Pianis...

so, since I so, since I could not as yet, get myself fired from this thread, and what was actually meant by my comment (…fired!), let’s see if we can get back into the subject. I obviously also listen to music, and I also deal with the mechanics/...
