excellent performances

I am also not overly fond of Beethoven's pianoconcerto's ( i can say that by now, pretty cold as more of his music is from time to time). Don't know the Abbado version. The Japan version Eduard Von Beinum/Mitropoulos-Casadesus is pretty entertaining and has something that the other recordings i heard didn't have. I can't really say what it is... maybe some sort of virtuoso.

Hindemith, hell yes.... Ormandy, i love the man's 'conducting'... Szell also a master. Love this reissue series for what they presenting: pretty decent versions (often older recordings) and sometimes really good performances (Ormandy/Oistrach- Sibelius or Ormandy/Entremont-Rachmaninov REFERENCE). I find them from time to time in thriftstores.

Barenboim is one of my least favorite conductors and pianists.

Halina Czerny- Stefanska plays Chopin. Winner international Chopin contest Warschau 1949. She studied under Alfred Cortot. NP

I have to give them another listen, the pianoconcerto'. I am not totally familiar with Pollini and Beethoven but i read good things about them. Maybe it was more suggestive than claiming what i said. But i enjoyed them when i listened to them (never boring), fast and dynamic. You are a Pollini fan ?

One of the better series of beethoven pianoconcerto's in my opinion and the first pianoconcerto with Eugen Jochum as conductor is majestic from what i can remember. What do you think of Pollini playing Beethoven and this serie in general ? Bye the way, time for another listen i would say. I have the serie complete on lp exept for the fourth. Still looking.

Cd 5 includes Bach suites No. 1 + 2 Cd 2 includes Dvorak celloconcerto, reference recording SO GOOD !!!

cd 7 + 8 cd 8 pianoconcerto for left hand = very boring. nothing virtuoso at all. No fire from Martinon.... nothing. Most boring cd of this set and i stopped listening to it. Tzigane wil get another try. After a first listen i think this is a decent set for a nice price and i like Martinon's 'Debussy' the most. Powerful, moving and above all he doesn't lose the picture.
