In Reply to: Recommend 5 top classical recordings posted by gunnar on March 31, 2007 at 14:20:46:
1. Elgar Cello concerto/Sea Pictures Dupre/LSO/Barbirolli-The definitive performance of one of the great romantic concertos
2. Beethoven 5th/7th symphonies Carlos Kleiber conducting.
3. Bach Solo Cello Suites I prefer Anner Bylsma's first Sony recording now avialable on Sony's "Essential Classics" budget line but any of the recordings by Pieter Wispelwey, Peter Bruns (great budget recording on Naive records, a french label), Anner Bylsmas's second recording (also on Sony), Jian Wang, Mischa Maisky (for a different more "Romantic" reading) are fine. Sorry I have over 20 recordings of the Cello suites and sometimes can't make up my mind.
4. Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 4-6 LSO Igor Markevitch conducting the London Symphony Orchestra (budget 2CDs from Philips. Mravinsky's later Stereo reading on DG is also ver fine and is regarded by many as the definitive performance. I have a liking for Markevitch's reading.
5. Mendelssohn and Bruch Violin Concertos (Bruch #1) Any of the recordings by Kyung Wha Chung as the Violinist. There is a great combo disc on Decca's Legends series that also includes Bruch's Scottish Fantasy.There are really hundreds more but these should get you started. I focused more on teh quality of the performance but all of the recordings are also fairly well recorded.
Sincerely,
Hany.
