    As you may know, I am currently suffering an incurable Bruckneritis with all the recordings I can find, so I rate all of them and make my top rank. Yesterday, for an hour of leisure before dinner, I watched this whole rehearsal of Celibidache conducting Symphony No.9. It is fortunately in...

    http://imslp.org/wiki/All-Night_Vigil,_Op.37_(Rachmaninoff,_Sergei) I'm glad that this has become available in the public domain. It's however the SATB version (for mixed choir) and I'm looking for a TTBB version (for male choir), if it exists... Please, can anybody help?

    Hi! I'm looking for someone who can discover a Chopin's Funeral March version which I don't know who performed neither which album is from. It's sourced from a LP from a catholic church and the record now is gone, no one knows these informations nowadays and I'm searching for any Classical...
  4. Opera on DVD, Blu-ray and CD
    I have a decent collection of Fidelio CD sets (and all of the Leonores available). But I am wondering if I am missing any really good ones. I am thinking that I really have to get the one conducted by Bohm with Gwyneth Jones. Here is what I have listed by conductor / Leonore Fidelio (first...

  7. Solved Cases (archive)
    I'm going to put this out there in the hope someone might help me, even though I don't even know if this is or can be considered classical music. It COULD be an orchestral version of a contemporary song, but bear with... I heard this lovely piece in a Brazilian telenovela (don't judge) and have...
  8. Opera on DVD, Blu-ray and CD
    Have you ever searched for an opera on Amazon, only to be flabbergasted by the amount of options available to you? What makes my choice harder is that the obvious "great voices" (Pavarotti, Domingo, Vickers, Gedda, Bjorling etc) are simply not present on Blu-Ray and my limited operatic culture...

    Being new here, I didn’t know where to post this, but if this is the wrong place, I expect to be steered in the right direction. I would like your recommendation among the following versions of The Planets by Holst. 1 - André Previn and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2 - James Levine and the...
  11. Classical Music Discussion
    i'm building my Mozart collection after some neglect. So similar to my thread about his last 3 symphonies, I'd like a great version of his requiem mass. Ideally a great performance and at least a good quality recording. Any recommendations? And I know there are a number of different scores...
  12. Orchestral Music
    I'd like to purchase an mp3 download of this work. Can anyone recommend a recording from the last 25 years? So far I have previewed Barenboim's version with the CSO, Zinman's version, and Albrecht's version on Pentatone. All sound good, Albrecht's version impresses me most so far...anyone else I...
  13. Orchestral Music
    Hi, I'm desperately looking for this collection "Divers (the autors) - Les beaux pianos romantique" in particular for its version of "Concerto for piano and orchestra No.1 Tchajkowsky" that in my opinion is the best version I ever heard of this wonderful composition. I found some months ago on...
  14. Opera
    When I first got interested in opera I hadn't listened to Tosca and I didn't know this aria. Then I got interested in Callas and stumbled on the 1953 Tosca recording. When I heard Di Stefano singing this for the first time I was blown away. After that it has became one of my favorite pieces. Di...
  15. Solo & Chamber Music
    I am very anxious to obtain a copy of the four-hand version of the above transcription by Liszt [Searle number 631]. I have tried several libraries, but these only seem to have the two-hand version, even if they say it is for four hands! I would very much like a copy of the four-hand score, for...
  16. Orchestral Music
    Hello everybody, first post on this forum (but have been reading for a while). I've recently started a little blog on classical music and Jazz (if you're interested: Musicophilesblog.com), and one of my first posts was about my all-time favorite symphony: Brahms 1. When I was going through all...

    I image most or all of us have heard different performances of a work and preferred one to the other. However, of works I enjoy, only once have I heard a version that I actually disliked.* When I joined TC, I was surprised to often see people suggesting someone should hear a particular version...

    Thought I'd start a continuing thread, like "What book are you reading now?" I'll let everyone decide for himself when a piece crosses the threshold from just something you're humming to true earworm status (for me it's days to more then a week). I've been raising seedlings in my sunroom. In...
  19. Vocal Music
    Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Die Schöne Müllerin with Johann Michael Vogl's added embellishments? I know it was published but want to get my hands on a copy. Are there any modern publications of it? Or can I access a version online? Thanks
  20. Classical Music Discussion
    So, as I talked about in the thread "Pieces that have blown you away recently", I recently listened to Mussorgsky's original version of "Night on Bald Mountain" and I loved it. It's way different from the Rimsky-Korsakov version. Mussorgsky had a lot of original and unique ideas and I can tell...
