A beautiful cross-over album.

Another rare collaboration featuring father and daughter.

I am fond of the Schoenberg and Webern arrangements of others composers' works that I have heard.

 

[Hmmbug]

Myself, the dozens of Ma-Ax-Stern trios that have been recorded.

 

[Guest]

Reading the thresd title I was expecting collaborations of composers. So I'll express my first thought: Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue might never have been so well known had it not been for the wonderful orchestation of Ferde Grofe.

 

[Cosmos]

Boulez and Zimerman doing Ravel:

Maybe that doesn't count because of the orchestra...I don't care: fantastic album

With that rule, I'll add Boulez and Uchida

 

[StlukesguildOhio]

Time to move on up to Michelangeli and Samson:

 

[StlukesguildOhio]

Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain and Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

 

[GreenMamba]

Bernstein and Gould. The Beethoven 4th has its fans.

 

[The nose]

Pierre Boulez and Frank Zappa

[hpowders]

Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony.

Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Charles Munch conducting the Boston Symphony.

Truly the golden age of symphonic recordings when these three guys walked the planet.

How about these two?

Rudolf Serkin & George Szell

Their collaboration on Brahms' two piano concertos are sans pareil.

EDIT:
I should have probably included the Cleveland Orchestra too. One helluva band!
