From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

I wasn't interested in Masur's conducting until

I heard his Eterna Beethoven series. I listen to one of them and found I enjoyed a lot so I went on for another, and another...
I don't know if his recordings sell well either but I would guess not because his style doesn't seems to elicit impulse buying. His New York Beethoven series was said to be even better than the earlier east German recordings, but I haven't dig into those yet.

Another surprise came from his Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies. How can such a moderate, lukewarm, lacks of sparkle treatment be good for these? But it worked again. The orchestral sings nicely, charming melodies, everything connects well, it's like cruising down the street on a bike in the sunset, just pleasant.
