50 cent find. Bohm is a Mozartspecialist.

Rest assured, Böhm will be understood here too.

Hungarian Chamber Orchestra - Mozart Symphonies

inherited from my mother... even 50 years later, its impressive how they could make such a mess in the picture with just a single cable... 

Geweldig dat zoiets toen kon. Zo ben ik een Fawlty Towers fan (John Cleese). Micophones in beeld, personeel in beeld etc. Toch 1 van de beste series ooit gemaakt in mijn opinie. Tegenwoordig MOET alles perfect zijn, als je de commercie mag geloven. Niet haalbaar dus niet realistisch en vervloekbaar.

Any recommendations for the pianoconcerto's from Liszt ?

The recordings that I play most frequently are by Michel Béroff with Kurt Masur and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig on EMI.

inderdaad, dit afbeelding is pure socialistische realisme - en die bestaat niet meer... [ik won sinds 2016 in Nederland maar mijn Nederlands bestaat ook bijna niet]... 

now playing:

Lubomir Maly / Libuse Krepelova - Rubinstein / Joachim, works for viola and piano

It is a close call between this and the Du Pre version of the Dvorak Cello Concerto. Both are outstanding.

The Fournier/Szell/Berlin is a favorite here.

Same performance on CD

And again (with the piano concerto)

[Larry Kart]

FWIW, Rosty on the above recording: ""Some time after the disc was released, I was phoned by my friend Sviatoslav Richter, who said that he had just heard the recording made with Václav Talich and found it a work of genius! He was enthused. I consider this recording of Dvořák's cello concerto the best I have ever made. And even though later on I recorded the concerto another seven times, it is the one that means the most to me. Throughout my life I have remained faithful to that which Václav Talich taught me." 

[JSngry]

So, Václav Talich is a name to watch for in general then, yes? I've picked him up doing a few Bartok things lately and have really enjoyed them, a lot.

[Chuck Nessa]

Yep. Don't know his Bartok.

Talich did conduct some Bartok early on -- e.g Piano Concerto No. 2 and the Dance Suite -- but I'm not aware of any Talich Bartok recordings. You may be thinking of the Bartok recordings of the Talich Quartet, founded in 1964 by violinist Jan Talich. Vaclav Talich's primary repertoire was Czech -- Smetana, Dvorak, Suk, Janacek.
