Wonderful, wonderful music
Even though I have a lot of other Bach records, this is different, like being in the ocean. What a joy. Buy it; it's unbelievable. The organ works, violin and harpsichord material, and most concertos and orchestral works, have NOTHING wrong with them per se; if you ...

Mozart: Piano Sonatas

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Christoph Eschenbach

Deutsche Grammophon, 1999

Mozart, pure & simple
This is my favorite set of Mozart piano sonatas, next to the Mitsuko Uchida collection from Philips. Eschenbach's performance is unadorned by needless trivialities, revealing a deep reverence for Mozart' score. Instead of taking liberties with the music, Eschenbach ...

Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen / Levine, Metropolitan Opera (Complete Ring Cycle)

Siegfried Jerusalem, Hildegard Behrens

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Overall, the best "Ring" out there
As a veteran of 25+ live "Ring" cycles, this Met production remains my favorite. Reviewers giving this production 3 stars have evidently not suffered through such "Ring" abominations as those recently done in Vienna and Stuttgart, or the godawful Kirov "Ring" at the ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Wonderful to re-listen to these works.
Many years ago, I owned, on vinyl, Mozart's Violin Sonatas. I don't remember the artists; however, I DO remember enjoying them immensely. Therefore, when the opportunity came with this recording to restore the complete Violin Sonatas by Mozart to my CD collection, I ...
