[#2468] Bruch's Scottish fantasy    
erictang,

In matching your Avalon monitor, pay attention and try to hear it in second hand shops, like Sun Wah or AV consignment Centre, for a Ayre V3 power amplifier.

Cheers

DECCA is one of the few companies able to preserve their sound quality into the digital age. Thx to engineers like Wilkinson, whose Digital recordings sound just as good as his anolgue ones.

Many of Ashkenazy's recordings with the Philharmonia Orchestra feature this great engineer.

A stunning one is Sibelius #4.

An interesting thread:

Some of my post there.

chowhwk,

Your recommendation is very comprehensive indeed, and I cannot deny that the disc you recemmend are essential for a beginner, but I found that you focus on orchestral work only and miss out chamber music and instrumental msuic, let me fill in the holes:

My ten essential classcial music purchase:

1. Favorite Violin encore- Authuir Grumiaux

This disc was issued by philips on DUO previously, if beginners want to find it it was now issued on `violin masterpiece' 5 CD box.

In this two disc, you can hear the best melody in music history, from Bach to Bartok, the best of best include Schubert's heavenly `Ave Maria', Massenet's `Meditation from Thais'. Most importantly, it was played by one of the best violinist of the 20 century- Authur Grumiaux, his violin have a silvery, creamy tone.

Most important, each track last from 1 minute to at most 10 minutes, shorter than most pop music.

2. Bach's Golberg's variation

Bach's music encompress everything from Choral work like St Matthew Passion to uncommpanied Cello suite, if I have to choose one to represent his art ( which is very difficult), I would choose his Golberg variation.

Bach was famous in written fugue, but his `art of fugue ' are really boring and not that suitable for beginners, however his goldberg variation was really interesting, it was based on a love melody and develop into a full set of variation. Bach music are perfect for relaxation, his music will calm you down even you have to face the greatest trouble in the world.

3. Mozart's Wind concerto.

There are many great baroque composers, but I have 10 quotas only, so I have to choose the best of the best.

Mozart also wrote every from opera to violin sonatas, his output was consistent in quality. But if I have to choose the best music genre written by Mozart, it must be his concerto. Mozart wrote 5 violin concertos, 27 piano concertos, 4 horn concertos, but mys favorite among his concertos was his wind concertos.

In classical painting you usually see two angels, one holding a flute, the other hold a harp, I always wonder what music they are playing. After listening to Mozart's Flute and Harp concerto, I am pretty sure the music they played must be his Flute and Harp concerto, the music would bring you to heaven, and indeed Mozart's was the son of god to bring us the joy which we usually only found in heaven.

Beethoven- Missa Solemnis

Beethoven was best represented by his orchestral music, his symphony cycle was the greatest symphony cycle ever and I am sure that someone would recommend his symphony No.9 in this thread. His 32 piano sonatas was name `the new testament of piano music', I don't think any classical music fans could miss it, but I am sure chowhwk would enlighten us further in a shotrt time.

If Mozart give you the joy of heaven, then you will see the heaven opened in Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, and the music was earth shaking indeed. The music was intended for Mass in Catholic church, and the main purpose was to praise God. However I am regret that never heard it performed live in my 13 years of study in Catholic school, I am looking forward for a live concert of this great work.

Klemperer's recording was now considered classics and his quartet of soloist was perfect, philharmonia orchestra and choir was in top form at that time, a great recording in every way.

5. Schubert- String Quintet in C

No one mention Schubert so far, Schubert have write many great songs, unfortunately I am not too familiar with Songs or Lieder, but I realy love Schubert's Chamber music. Apart from the well known `Trout' Quintet and string Quartets, which I am sure that someone would recommend it in a short time, Schubert have wrote a great string quintet in C.

The second movement of this string Quintet was again heavenly, Rubinstein request this movement to be played on his funeral, and this piece was a very melodious and moving. I simply cannot describ this wonderful magical music with my poor english butonly urge you to listened to it yourself.

Hollywood Quartet's version was my long time reference, but there are many great version of this great music.

[#2483] In the mood of Richter's Schumann [Fantasie op 17]    
Richter's schumann is unequalled and there should be no doubt as to Richter's current status as a senior statement in piano world. The Fantasia in C minor op 17 is arguably Schmann's keyboard masterpiece. No pianist can phrase as beautifully as Richter can, or produce those marvellously soft accompaniement beneath the quietly singing tunes or toss off the middle movement with such speed and brilliant virtuosity. An astonishing beauty being derived from his poetry can be heard in his playing, almost amounting to a reinvention of the work.

The same description can be applied in his wonderful playing of Faschingsschwank aus Wien and Papillons, phrasing is unusually musical , Richter can reduce an accompaniment to a mere murmur without at the expense of evenness, he can sing even when it's soft. Rubato is used sensibly in a great deal but always with impeccable taste; his rubato in slow passages has a mesmeric quality (as I said in previous post that his playing of Fantastucke op 12 also gave me the similar mesmerizing effect and helped me to overcome my severe syndromes of depression during my stay in UK!); Richter plays those slow passages much slower than contemporary pianist but with eloquent structure,pace and tempo.

With his faultless technique, his capability to make the piano "singing" in an effortless manner has proved that his schumann recordings are classic which no serious devotee of piano music should be without.

[#2484] In the mood of Richter's Schumann miniature    
Firstly thanks for Minpin's generosity, your gift almost makes me overwhelmed and joyful ever since !hope that our friendship can last longer than this feeling!

As all piano music lovers know that Schumann himself is a sentimentally demanding, neurotic, egoistic and sensitive person, surely Richter seems having an incomparable insight to read through Schumann's secret inner world and technique to reorganize or integrate Schumann's lossy phrase, poorly-organized structure and chaotic details.

Arthur Rubinstein once said after hearing Richter's schumann for the first time "It really wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Then at some point I noticed my eyes growing moist: tears rolling down my cheeks..." What produces such a reaction is beyond word, I wonder whether it probably attributes to Richter's uncanny ability to convey a sense of inevitability (approximation of absolute truth, a work as if should be only played in this way).

From the first note singing "Four Fugues op 72", you are inevitably captured by his portrait of the inner beauty of these four miniatures, Richter infuses his own natural emotion and introspection into the piece with his frame of mind or artistic conception which exactly reflects his solitary feeling in his late years. Sonority and phrasing are decently portrayed in a detached, aloof and light manner.

Toccata op 7 is always deemed as a virtuosity showpiece [also my ongoing favourite!] which demands a great deal of physical strength [as Minpin said, a tough finger exercise indeed!] and mature virtuosity, compare to Richter's earlier account in 1955 (DGG), this rendition is less straightforward, oppressive,stifling, rushed, fervent and fury as it was, his earlier account simply demoniacally subdued most piano lovers in western countries during 1960's by his good command of colorful passages, mutli-facet rhythm and breathless knocking in those forte passages . Still I prefer his earlier rendition in DGG by virtue of his zenithal skill, anxious yet neurotic treatment and breathless rage. Some of you might prefer his mellowness and transcendental treatment in his late years, but for this specifically electrifying showpiece, it's simply not my cup of tea lah!

The miniatures give particular pleasure and how keenly he responds to that element of "strangeness blended with the beautiful (as romanticism once defined) in the four Nachtstucke op 23 written with a supernatural premonition of his brother's death. Richter immaculately played these pieces by a flowing rhythm with seamless harmony and boundless elasticity, supreme fingerwork and melodic spontaneity though not as good as his peak moment in 1960s.

The sonic quality is first rate, devoid of audience noise nor coughing, still Richter's live account is indispensable in your music library. You could criticize his degradation of his technical skill and fingerwork (he was 82 already at the time of recording these miniature album), but we could not deny how great his visionary performance and how broad his breadth were!
