In Reply to: That begs the question: What newly recorded classical SACDs are the definitive performances/recordings in the catalog? posted by Robert C. Lang on November 27, 2006 at 12:07:22:
* His Goldbergs are definitely top 5, and some prefer it to, say, both Gould versions.
* Bach Keyboard Concertos are up there.
* A case could be made for his Italian Concerto (on "Plays Bach")
* Chopin Etudes--definitely a contender.* Also, the Rene Jacobs Figaro on Harmonia Mundi. Possibly also Julio Cesare.
* Definitely some possibilities among the Suzuki Bach Cantatas.
No slam dunks here, but some contenders.
