In Reply to: Best "LIVE" Classical Recordings posted by trcnetmsncom on January 31, 2016 at 10:48:29:
Hi-
Sorry, I think your subject line muddies the waters.
I would like to be able to assume that when you use the word "live," you mean:
1) There was a live performance in front of an audience;
2) Somebody recorded it; and
3) That recording is what you get when you buy the CD or download, with minimal interventions and substitutions.
However, by putting "Live" in Scare-Quote marks, you might mean, "Not Really Live" or "Almost Live." Or perhaps, "Live-Sounding," whatever that means.
So, please define your terms, because I am unaware of any RefRec recording that comports with the above, and if there are any Bruggen recordings that are live, that is news to me.
If the criterion is "live" as I attempted to clarify above, then Esa-Pekka Salonen's Schoenberg "Gurrelieder" SACD is one of the best I know.
ATB,
John
