What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

[Marzz]

Berg / Schoenberg (Melos Ensemble of London). Reissue of 2 1960s L'Oiseau-Lyre LPs.

I'm now listening to Stokowski's stupendous performance of Tchaikovsky's "Romeo & Juliet" Fantasy Overture with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.

From this listener's perspective, NO ONE conducts Tchaikovsky's music better.  Stoki's Tchaikovsky recordings crackle with electricity and passion and color!

Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony as performed by Stokowski & the American SO:

Back to Schumann:

Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 / Bruno-Leonardo Gelber (p), Franz-Paul Decker (cond), Münchner Philharmoniker (Connoisseur Society)
I wonder why Gelber isn't more well known.  He's an astounding pianist.

A favorite Brahms 1 for me and for many others too. Unfortunately his Brahms 2 is something of a disappointment. Don't know why he didn't make a bigger splash.
