In Reply to: Recommend 5 top classical recordings posted by gunnar on March 31, 2007 at 14:20:46:
Vivaldi "Four Seasons", Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble, BIS. Excellent sound and dynamic performance of a warhorse.Ravel "Bolero", Debussy "La Mer", Sinopoli, DG. Wickedly fast and passionate version of the love it or hate it "Bolero". "La Mer" truly washes over you.
Stravinsky "Rite of Spring", Gergiev, Philips. Great sound and a truly Russsian interpretation.
Bach "Transcriptions", Slatkin, Chandos. Big music, will give your system a full workout.
Respighi "Pines of Rome", Reiner, JVC xrcd. Old/great recording but wonderfully remastered to the point where it should be used to hear just how good your system is.
