Johann Sebastian Bach, Ferruccio Busoni, ...

Sony, 1994

A gigantic recording
There's an interesting debate going on in the reviews below about Horowitz's technical and musical ability in general. Do yourself a favor and read through these reviews. It'll show you that Horowitz's ability to engender strong positions and fairly heated exchanges ...

Steve Reich 1965-1995

Hugo Munday, Donald Palma, ...

Nonesuch, 1997

Essential
The term "essential" gets thrown about too much. And heck, the claim that certain words get thrown about too much gets thrown about too much. But here is a collection that really *is* essential to understanding the nature of a whole shift not just in classical ...

Earle Brown: Selected Works 1952-1965
David Soyer, Dorothea von Albrecht, ...

New World Records, 2006

This long-overdue reissue of the CRI recording of Earle Brown?s music is one of the best representations of his seminal works. ?It is obviously a great pleasure for me that CRI is re-releasing its 1974 recording of my work, and an even greater pleasure that I am able to add to the repertoire. The performance of Times Five and Novara (recorded ...

Jacqueline du Pré - The Early BBC Recordings 1961-1965 ~ Bach, Britten, Brahms, Couperin, Falla, Handel / ...

Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

Passion and History
This CD is fantastic. It shows the early beginnings of J. du Pre and her passion. J. du Pre plays the cello with such emotion that her talent sings even in the early days. She was an accomplished player and had soul. These early recordings demonstrate her talent ...

Martha Argerich Plays Chopin: The Legendary 1965 Recording

Frederic Chopin

EMI Classics, 1999

Staggering virtuosity
These Chopin recordings of Martha Argerich from 1965 are an example of staggering virtuosity of the highest order. She is one of the few pianists I've heard that could rival Michelangeli for technical ability(though both could be erractic at times, with the Italian ...

Janácek: Sinfonietta; Taras Bulba; Violin Concerto

Leos Janacek, Vaclav Neumann, ...

Supraphon, 1998

Chicago does Taras Bulba
I just ordered this CD this evening, thus haven't heard it. But I listened to the Chicago Symphony performance on XM Classics tonight, which is why I ordered this disk. Very stirring!

Early Minimalism, Vol. 1

Alexandria Gelencser, Jan Tilman Schade, ...

Table of Elements, 1997

"lost" piece of Minimalist music
Ignore the other three c.d.'s. They're cool, the videos are great (especially "flicker") but the point here is "four violins" recorded while Tony Conrad was still a member of the original Dream syndicate/theatre of eternal music, which is exceeded only by John Cage, ...

Do I Hear A Waltz? (1965 Original Broadway Cast)

Richard Rodgers, Jane Manning, ...

Sony, 1992

Much better than it's reputation.
Despite being considered a flop by it's creative team, this is the one of Sondheim's "lyrics only" musicals I return to most often. It's melancholy charm is underlined by Rodgers' highly hummable tunes combined with Sondheim's reluctant lyrics. They are partly bitter ...

Morning Ragas Bombay 1965

Nikhil Banerjee & Manilal Nag

Raga, 1996

Outstanding Thumri Bhairavi
This is entirely from a layman's point of view. The Thumri Bhairavi is very beautiful. The album is too expensive I feel, though.

Verdi: Simon Boccanegra / Cleva (1965)
Giuseppe Verdi, Fausto Cleva, ...

Living Stage

Living Stage 1119 (remastering of 1965 recording) ADD Mono

American Orchestral Music

Howard Hanson, Edward MacDowell, ...

Vox (Classical), 1994

The Cracker Jack and the Prize, too.
5 stars, though the Virgil Thompson piece is outright banal. But here's the payoff: The higher points on this set are Schuman 7th, the Schuller Symphony 1965, and to a much lesser extent, the Hanson. These works alone make this a super buy, but then there's the Rorem ...

Decca Recordings, 1965-1972 (Limited Edition)

Stupendous Stokowski
This five disc box set featuring the Decca Recordings (1965-72) of conductor Leopold Stokowski is among the latest batch of releases in the limited edition "Original Masters" series. While parts of this particular collection have been available on CD in the past (in ...
