Del Monaco
In the recent music review thread one post referred to a crate of music he went back to regularly.
I have albums that I revisit regularly.
These include:
Rachmaninov Symphony No 2 - Previn- Unbridled romanticism with peerless conducting and the LPO on their toes,
Barber Violin Concerto- Stern/ Bernstein- There is a magical human quality to this performance, Bernstein matching Stern in a performance of the music in its sincerest form.
Late Beethoven String Quartet-Italian Qt.- What can you really say about these classic rosin soaked performances
Verdi Otello- Toscanini- Beautifully performed, especially by Nelli but most loved for its dark, sinewy and articulate conducting by arguably the greatest maestro of them all.
Chopin Nocturnes- Claudio Arrau- I love these pieces and I frequently return to the performance of the elderly Arrau. Something about them.
Honorary mention for David Sylvian’s Secrets of the beehive and Nick Caves whole discography.
What are your top 5? And why?
