Classical Corner Classical Music Corner (thread #59)

I see, thanks!

 

Love the Heifetz and the Milstein. Have the Perlman, but can't remember when I last played it. An exceptionally gifted violinist Ulf Hoelscher recorded it too, but I never listened to his rendition.

 

Brilliant playing and wonderful sound. (And all are contained on one disc!)

 

I just realized that I have the Korngold concerto as part of the Complete Original Jacket Collection, only I 've never listened to it. I will probably give it a listen one of these days.
The Perlman LP seems to be easily available on ebay but the Milstein might be difficult to find.
Thanks again everybody for your suggestions.

Now playing......

Dvorak: Concerto/Glazounov: Concerto
Milstein/The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (Steinberg)
Capitol FDS original pressing in mono

Sounds fantastic.

 

I have the original box by RCA Gold Seal but thought it has more than 10 CD's ...

 

...or, as a smartie critic back in the '40s put it, his music is more corn than gold?

 

The Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts with Primrose, Pennario and Guests (RCA Victor Red Seal LM/LSC-2739 – Sony Classical)

Cesar Franck – Quintet for Piano, 2 Violins, Viola and Cello

Johannes Brahms – Sextet for 2 Violins, 2 Violas and 2 Cellos Op.36
— Jascha Heifetz, Israel Baker, violins; Virginia Majewski, William Primrose, violas; Gregor Piatigorsky, Gabor Rejto, cellos

 

Lol

 

For the record, it is nitpicking. More polite to just shoot me a simple message.

 

This is the performance of the Korngold Violin Concerto that I currently enjoy the most. It is from James Ehnes and includes the violin concertos from Walton and Barber.

Sent you a personal message.

 

(CD BBC LEGENDS BBCB8005-2) - a beautifull rendition of "Exsultate, jubilate" by Elly Ameling......

 

I have always preferred Bernstein conducting the VPO over the NYPO in his later years ...

 

Now: Brahms: Symphony 2, Op.73; Tragic Overture, Op.81; Academic Festival Overture, Op.80 - Pierre Monteux/London Symphony Orchestra - 5 CDs, The Early Years, Philips; disc 3

 

This should be a nice box ...

 

It is

 

As I've said ad nauseam I'm not a fan of Bernstein's conducting style, but I'm interested to hear why you prefer his later work.

 

NP:

 

I have very few bad Philips recordings ...

 

I really meant Bernstein's later recordings, which were mostly with the VPO. I only enjoyed the recordings he made with the NYPO during the golden age of the NYPO, i.e. when Bernstein was the conductor ...

Brahms

 

These are the reference recordings of both concerti.
