Brahms: Piano Quartets Op. 25 & Op. 60, Rubinstein Collection, Vol. 65
Johannes Brahms, Artur Rubinstein, ...

RCA, 2001

Rubinstein in Brahms Piano Quartets 1 and 3
I read in Arthur Rubinstein's book on his young years how much he loved Brahms music when he first heard it in Berlin as a young student. He also was elated as he began to play chamber music around the same time. His love for Brahms and for chamber music evidently ...
  
  











  



  
Berlioz: Les Troyens
Berit Lindholm, Elizabeth Bainbridge, ...

Philips, 2002

Probably your first choice
I haven't heard the remastered version of this but it's probably a doozy. Fussy opera buffs nitpick over this recording (just look around) and some recommend the newer live Colin Davis over this. I don't. The conducting--at times--may be more exciting and some of the ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4-6; Orchestral Suite No.4
Johann Sebastian Bach, Pablo Casals, ...

Sony, 1990

THE VIRILE, RICH-BLOODED BACH!
J. Sebastian Bach was a very virile, full-blooded man who worked all his life, had two wives, and sired about 20 children. Casals' realizations of Bach's music illustrate Bach's virility and vivacity. Casals conducts the Bach Concerti & Suites as he [Casals] plays ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 8
Ludwig van Beethoven, Pablo Casals, ...

Sony, 1990

Beethoven for the first time
Listening to this recording is like discovering well-known music again. The only competetive version of the 7th symhony is Toscanini's old one with the New York Philharmonic (better than the later NBC version) - but the sound is mediocre. Karajan's 7th with the Vienna ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Late String Quartets
Ludwig van Beethoven, Guarneri Quartet, ...

RCA Gold Seal, 1990

Guarneri makes late Beethoven accessible and deeply moving
I have been an avid classical music consumer for over 30 years, as well as being a professional musician and teacher. With the exception of the 9th symphony, most late Beethoven tends to be a style of music which can be best described as deeply profound. This is not ...
  
  











  



  
Schubert: String Quartets no 13, 14 / Guarneri String Quartet
David Soyer, Franz Schubert, ...

Arabesque Recordings, 2009

GUARNERI STILL SHINES
I find this recording of the A minor and D minor Shubert quartets to be outstanding. In their later years, they go a little slower than they once did, but to the service of the music. Get this recording. you won't be disappointed. The 2nd mvmt of the A minor alone ...
  
  











  



  
Berlioz: Les Troyens
Hector Berlioz, Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 2005

A Classic Must-get
Introduction: This was the first complete (and now there is an even MORE complete Davis recording) set of this wonderful opera. Before Beecham and Davis recorded it, this opera had to undergo a very large-scale demystification process. The myths surrounding this opera ...
  
  











  



  
Schumann: Piano Quintet in Ef Op44; Brahms: Piano Quintet in Fm, Op34
Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, ...

RCA 1987, 1990

The absolute pinnacle of musical heights!
I owned this recording on disk 20 years ago, and when the transition to CD's happened, this was one of my happiest first purchases. The recording of these two masterpieces is among the most beloved in all of recording history. The warm, romantic sound of the Guarneri ...
  
  











  



  
Rubinstein Collection, Vol. 74
Johannes Brahms, Gabriel Faure, ...

RCA, 2001

Wonderful Rubinstein
This CD makes a mockery of present day standards. To listen to the light touch, the easy "tempo giusto", the natural rubato, and the interplay with the young Guarneri, who play beautifully, without being relegated to a supporting role as with other Big Name guests of ...
  
  











  



  
Vol. 2-Earle Brown Contemporary Sound Series
David Bedford, Luciano Berio, ...

Wergo, 2009

Recorded between 1960 and 1973, the original eighteen LPs that comprise Earle Brown's lengendary Contemporary Sound Series have been highly sought after in the secondary market since 1978 when they were discontinued. These rare and historically important recordings of international avant-garde music have been carefully digitized and remastered by ...

Piano Quartets
Mozart, Rubinstein, ...

RCA, 1991

A Legendary Performance
The performances here of Mozart's Piano Quartets are simply legendary in their absolute perfection of interpretation: no one even comes close. It is here one can see why Rubinstein was such a genius of a pianist whose standard is yet to be surpassed by even the most ...
  
  











  



  
Berlioz Edition (Box Set)
Thomas Allen, Hector Berlioz, ...

Philips, 2003

Definitive modern performances of all Berlioz's masterpieces
This album features the recorded Berlioz legacy of Colin Davis on Philips. It consists of three smaller Berlioz/Davis box sets crammed (very tightly) into a cardboard bookcase sleeve. These three compilations are Complete Orchestral Works (6 CDs), Complete Operas (9 ...

Berlioz: The Complete Operas [Box Set]
Hector Berlioz, Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 2002

Tremendous Berlioz! Tremendous US price
So you think ol' Hector was a second-rate composer? Try these three operas, brilliantly performed by great artists such as Vickers, Veasy and Gedda. And Sir Colin Davis is a very sympathetic(and under-rated) conductor. I have to say, Les Troyens is simply spectacular. ...
