Don't know that one, but playing some Ives is almost always a good thing.

It's a fantastic recital. Susan Narucki & Donald Berman are VERY convincing.

I first heard Narucki on this Ives recording; it's also excellent:

Streamed this via YT on the way home from work earlier this evening ... and just getting back to it now ...

Beethoven's Missa Solemnis as performed by Eugen Jochum, the RCOA, Netherlands Radio Chorus, and vocal soloists:

If I had to choose ONE Beethoven conductor as a personal favorite, it would likely be Eugen Jochum.

I wish this was still available on CD. I may have to seek out the vinyl. ;)

It is in a big DG box with a bunch of other great stuff - https://smile.amazon.com/Eugen-Jochum-Complete-Recordings-Grammophon/dp/B0766FLLJW/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1RKTBE013R904&keywords=eugen+jochum&qid=1551758797&s=music&sprefix=eugen%2Cpopular%2C151&sr=1-2

Yes - love Anda playing Schumann!

Géza Anda's Schumann yesterday and Claudio Arrau's Schumann today:

Arrau is my go-to guy for Kinderszenen and Waldszenen.  

On the other hand, when it comes to Carnaval, I prefer a bit more quicksilver. Listening to Arrau, I miss Rubinstein's joyous extroversion, his dancing.
