I think Abbado's M5 is a tremendous performance. Two thumbs up! IIRC, this is the first of two recordings of the Fifth that Abbado made. I've never heard the second version. 4 hours ago, Referentzhunter said: ... bye the way Bernstein's Mahler is growing on me and i am enjoying it more and more. There still are moment that ik think; my god this is to forte ... but his passion and musicianship are not negiglible anymore. My first set of Mahler is Haitink (complete opposite). Bernstein's Mahler is definitely EXTREME. But I love it. Bernstein's VERY exaggerated Mahler Ninth (on DG, with the Concertgebouw) was my entry point into Mahler's music -- so I'll always have a soft spot for it. That said, I also love other ways of approaching Mahler too -- by conductors like Bruno Walter, Jascha Horenstein, Rafael Kubelik, and Bernard Haitink. (Just to name a few.) Each of them brings something unique to the table. Quote

Truly, in my honest opinion, the best classical label there ever was. So, listening to Haydn myself: Cello Concertos under the direction of Iona Brown, featuring Truls Mork, Virgin Classics, 1991. Earlier, Haydn, Sonatas Nos. 33, 38, 58 & 60. Emanuel Ax. CBS Records Masterworks, 1988. One of my favorite classical pianists, alongside Glenn Gould and Jean-Bernard Pommier.

Holy Ghost Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 More Haydn: Symphonies, Nos. 82, 83, & 84, under the direction of Sigiswald Kuijken, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Virgin Classics, 1989. Quote
