In Reply to: Recommend 5 top classical recordings posted by gunnar on March 31, 2007 at 14:20:46:
Here are five cds of core repertory that sound good, are well-played, and frequently get recommended around here:Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra etc., Reiner and the CSO (RCA Living Stereo)
Beethoven: Symphonies No. 5 and 7, Kleiber and the Vienna Philharmonic (DG)
Beethoven: Violin Concerto (with the Bernstein Serenade), Hahn, Zinman and the Baltimore Symphony (Sony)
Holst: The Planets, Dutoit and the Montreal SO (London)
Rachmoninoff: Piano Concerto #3/Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto #1, Argerich, Chailly and the Berlin RSO (Rach)/Kondrashin and the Bayerischen (Tchaik) (Philips)
All of these recordings are worth owning. Whether they turn out to be your favorites is another question entirely.
Happy listening,
Jim
