Happy Easter, everyone! Our Podcast has risen. youtube.com/watch?v=GBy7GA…

@BramaAlessandro Lots of work ahead of us, then!

Since I heard some good music on this @CapriccioRec album, it's necessary to talk about numbers: #Goltermann has a catalog of 133 numbered works, including eight concertos for cello and orchestra. There's room for a vast exploration of his music! 👍 This composer is very (1/3)

🌸 No necesitas flores… solo esta playlist del sello austríaco @CapriccioRec. bit.ly/3QJK73C 🪴Brisas barrocas, danzas clásicas y susurros románticos para renovarte. #musicaclasica #músicaclásica #capricciorecords #classicalmusic #naxosenespañol #naxosenespanol

You can't say it's not... different! ;-)

@ClassicalCritic @cuartetocasals @aglaemusica @BACH_JohannSeb We've got no skin in the game. Recommend what's dear to your heart. ;-)

If I kept only one recording of #JSBach' CelloSuites, it would be… Arnau Tomàs'/Aglae Amzn: amzn.to/4tf78tf Blind listening, group-listening, nightly enjoyment: It all points to this astounding recording of the @cuartetocasals' cellist's Suites! 😍🤯 #only1recording

@ClassicalCritic @DiePressecom Here's a good review in @derStandardat, actually: derstandard.at/consent/tcf/st… Complementary, if you will.

Premierenkritik #Volksoper für @DiePresseCom: Wie übersetzt man „ARRRGHH!“ auf Woke? Die Piraten von Penzance bescheren an der Volksoper einen Abend voll Dauerlachern und ausgezeichneter Musik (Link im Kommentar; jeder Klick hilft!)

@ClassicalCritic @WrStaatsoper @sonyclassical @SonyClassicalUK @KarajanMusic Did you know WE have one, too!?! With @ChenReiss, no less. And, well, let's perhaps best focus on her. Conducted by Mr. Gruberova himself!

If I kept only one recording of #JohannStrauss' Fledermaus… Karajan/VPO/RCA Amzn: amzn.to/485ZxVP Fricsay? Kleiber? Krauss? HvK? NO! It's the OTHER Karajan! I hate the Gala Decca; the 1955 leaves me cold. But this live one ticks all the right boxes! #Only1Recording

@ClassicalCritic @BIS_records @minnorch @mmoorchestra @OsmoVanska Pick your favorite RHEINBERGER recording, already!!!! 🤪😇

If I kept only one recording of #Beethoven's 4th Symphony, it would be… Vänskä/Minnesota/BIS Amzn: amzn.to/4bPg1Th Wouldn't hesitate @ all: this's the slender Greek maiden I'm asking to the dance! I can feel the🙄, but it's simply lithe perfection. #Only1Recording

@classicstoday @ClassicalCritic @deccaclassics @EloqClassics Or... hear us out: The Petersen Quartett with a fabulously divergent programm.

@ClassicalCritic @deccaclassics @EloqClassics And you'd be right--so the pressing (as it were) matters, here. Some digital remasterings sound very harsh, compared to the LPs. classicstoday.com/review/review-…

If I kept only one recording of #Ravel's String Quartet, it would be… Quartetto Italiano/Decca Amzn: amzn.to/4bPg1Th In truth, there's scarcely a bad recording of this & maybe Quatuor Ébène is the more rational choice. But I've always LOVED this one! #Only1Recording

@ClassicalCritic Guilty. But not repentant!

@CapriccioRec Ah, only because you've had your share of Magic-Flute boy performances back in the day doesn't mean I prefer voices that have perfect intonation. (No offense. ;-))

If I kept only one recording of… #Mozart's Magic Flute it would be… Böhm/Decca/1955 Amzn: amzn.to/414biZ4 One of my rare GoldenDay (p)references: Simoneau/Gueden, Berry/Loose, Lipp/Böhme, Schoeffler etc are just a perfectly even cast; Tempi perfect. #Only1Recording

@ClassicalCritic What an opportunity to have said: It's BERTINI! And the WDR-RSO. You know... the guy whose Mahler everyone is raving about?!

If I kept only one recording of… #Berlioz' Symphonie fantastique it would be… Jansons/BRSO Review: ionarts.blogspot.com/2015/01/best-r… Am I nuts? No. This is far and away the spookiest, chilliest, tightest, weirdest SF on record, duping the 'classics' w/precise ease. #Only1Recording

@Ernesto11022018 @ClassicalCritic @BR_Presse Indeed! I just listened to this Muti and, favorite aside, it is hard to see how anyone could not be pleased with it.

@ClassicalCritic @BR_Presse I would have chosen this one with Reiner in Vienna, but yes, Muti with the BRSO is superb. And way better than Muti’s other renditions at LaScala and Chicago.

If I kept only one recording of… #Verdi's Requiem it would be… 1981 Muti/BRSO/BRKlassik ionarts: ionarts.blogspot.com/2022/02/dip-yo… Muti over Fricsay (or Gardiner) pains me but this recent archival issue undeniably takes the cake and eats it, too & the soloists! 💋 #Only1Recording

#Comingsoon...

@alvaro_70AG Can't have too much! :-) (Where's Kitajenko? 😇)

Sí, en esta casa se venera a Shostakovich

And we've got our #ClassicalDiscoveries Podcast on CPE out today! What lovely coincidence. youtube.com/watch?v=GBy7GA…

If I kept only one recording of… #Beethoven's Violin Concerto it would be… Zehetmair/Brüggen/Philips Amzn: amzn.to/3PpDD9P The only recording to make me feel like I am hearing Beethoven for the first time. Cadenza "61a". Timpani out of this world! #Only1Recording

@ClassicalCritic Kitajenko for the win! Should you not be working on your Prokofiev Symphony Survey?

If I kept only one recording of… #Prokofiev's 3rd Symphony it would be… Muti/Philly/Philips Amzn: amzn.to/4tbMBWC Legitimate question: Would anyone keep Prok3? But yes, and this recording gives the answer as to why. Merciless, wicked, weird et al #Only1Recording

@ClassicalCritic @operzuerich A, hence the Verdi Requem "if only one" post...

Smoke & incense #Weidringer[TM] for Gianandrea Noseda, Oper Zurich & Verdi Requiem.
