❤️  Yes, absolutely.  ❤️

IMO, when it comes to these works, Gilels is in rarified air, among the most exalted -- along with Kempff, Solomon, Serkin, and a handful of others.

I'm familiar with Gulda's Beethoven (and I like it very much) -- but I've never heard Richter or Verdenikov play LvB. 

Do you have any particular "starting point" recommendations for these latter two?

Dvorak Violin Concerto is fantastic ! Sound quality as is the performance. Love this disc.

I'm finding that Teldec recorded the orchestra a little too far away - there's more room reverberation than if miked closer, therefore more echo and less detail.  Do you think differently?  Just curious.
