  5. What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

    I don't think you can go wrong with Dutoit's recordings of Ravel's music on London/Decca. The one that Larry mentioned -- and all the rest!  Dutoit's Ravel is collected in this 4-CD box:

    Incidentally, I also agree with Larry's Dutoit/OSM Holst "The Planets" recommendation. :tup 

     

    Similarly, Martinon's Debussy on EMI/Warner Classics is nonpareil, IMO.

    And, like I said earlier, I prefer Munch for Berlioz. (Colin Davis is fabulous too -- and others as well. But Munch is "home base," where I always return.)

    Just my perspective, of course! There are MANY, MANY wonderful recordings of these three French giants.

     

    Listened to Martinon's Debussy again and you are right. It is good Debussy. Haven't heard Dutoit and Roger's Ravel from cd so i cat have a opinion about that one.

    Yes, no, yes, no. I don't know really. I have to dose his music in smaller listening bits because his compositions are more or the less the same thing but it can be nice and soft for the ears and mind and it fits the time of the year but it can be annoying to. The 18 lp box is only for 1 week in my collection.

    1 euro find. Haebler is one of the best Mozartinterpreters.

    Unreservedly recommended ....

     

    So, ..... these are special readings ? Never heard music of Roussel, to be honest.

    Dutoit's "Planets" is felt by many to be the best; AFAIK, it is. There may be better Ravel Piano Concerti than Dutoit-Roge (sorry for the two images), but the last time I listened to it I was impressed. Unfortunately, Martinon's 1966 "live" Mahler 10th with the CSO, once issued by the CSO, is long gone. I was at that concert.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I can imagine that this are pretty good performances. Maybe i have the opportunity to listen to some of them in the future. I have other french artists on the topshelf for pianoconcerto (as you said), Ravel's Rapsodie espagnole and i am pretty sure about these recordings.

    I have heard mixed reactions for Dutoit's The Planets bye the way but i haven't heard it myself on cd or lp. Still haven't a definitive version for this peace of music. Maybe this is it but i have my doubts.

    If not in the right mood a lot of otherwise appreciated recordings can have this effect on me :D ....

    You are right. Strange people, strange hobby's. So many different moods and minimal braincapacity to understand what you are listening to. Also the character of the listener and the composers character is important in understanding the purposes, moods etc.  of the composer.

    Yes!  IMO, it's very difficult to top Munch in French music -- Debussy, Ravel, Berlioz.  I suppose one might put Martinon and Dutoit on the "top shelf" with him. :) 

    I still play Munch's Berlioz recordings more frequently than anyone else's. 

     

     

    Any recommendations for Martinton or Dutoit recordings ? To be honest my expectations about Dutoit recordings aren't that high. Or ???
