Mendelssohn: 5 Symphonies; 7 Overtures
from: Deutsche Grammophon
Customer Review:
I've waited for years to buy a complete set of Mendelssohn symphonies and having listened to a less-than-ideal rendition of the "Lobgesang" recently, I decided it was time. I'm either glad I waited or wish I'd bought this recording ... Read More

Chopin, Liszt: Piano Concertos / Martha Argerich, London Symphony Orchestra
from: Deutsche Grammophon
Customer Review:
Lately, I've been listening to a lot of great pianists: Solomon, Horowitz, Pogerelich, Rubenstein, Van Cliburn, Lupu.
I love Martha Argerich. She is more passionate and flexible with tempi, volume, etc., without it feeling ... Read More

Prokofiev, Ravel: Piano Concertos, etc / Martha Argerich
from: Deutsche Grammophon
Customer Review:
I won't go at length about this CD's every refinement, but the Adagio assai on ravel's concerto is easily the best I have ever heard. It is possibly the best collaboration between orchestra/conductor and the pianist of any work. Abbado and Argerich ... Read More

Strauss: The Best of Vienna
from: Deutsche Grammophon
Customer Review:
I saw a PBS special on Strauss and ran out to purchase. I'm not sure if I was caught up in the PBS hype or just had different expectations.

Verdi - Simon Boccanegra / Freni, Cappuccilli, Carreras, Ghiaurov, van Dam, Foiani, Teatro alla Scala, Abbado
by: Giuseppe Verdi, Claudio Abbado, Mirella Freni, José Carreras, Orchestra e Coro del Teatro alla Scala, Piero Cappuccilli, Nicolai Ghiaurov, José van Dam, Giovanni Foiani, Maria Fausta Gallamini
Customer Review:
As usual, Claudio Abbado brings to life opera (particularly Verdi): DG version of Simon Boccanegra is truly among the best achievements in opera recordings, with its central Grand Council scene shining like a crown daimond of a great composer and a great conductor.

Mozart: The 5 Violin Concertos
from: Archiv
Customer Review:
The two five-star reviews here seem familiar with the career of Giuliano Carmignola, but all I know is that he serves as concertmaster for Abbado's new Italian ensemble, the Orchestra Mozart of Bologna. Presumably these are live concert recordings of th five Mozart violin concertos, plus the sublime ... Read More

Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky / Abbado
from: Deutsche Grammophon
Customer Review:
Nevsky with Abbado is a stirring and moveing piece. This is the best version I've heard! Kije and the the rampaging Scythians are also first rate.

Alban Berg Collection / Various (Coll)
from: Deutsche Grammophon
Customer Review:
No one will ever mistake Alban Berg for the more tuneful figures in the Viennese musical pantheon, but his oeuvre remains indispensable - as is this comprehensive, challenging, and high quality set. Interested opera folk should endeavor to locate Manfred Gurlitt's parallel 'Wozzeck' to accompany Berg's much better known version, ... Read More
