I listened (three times!) yesterday to the Cleveland orchestra's
jaw-dropping Rite of Spring under Chailly. The wide randing recording
and sheer virtuosity of the playing - as if a single imprument - were
truly impressive.
I can see whay some people claim the Cleveland Orchestra are the best
in the world.
I have these Cleveland Orchestra recordings whihc are all impressive for
the technical qulaities of the orchestra. Are there any others I should
especailly look out for?
- Stravinsky Rite of Spring (Chailly, Decca)
- Ravel Piano Concerto in G (Zimmerman, Boulez, DG)
- Stravinsky Fairy's Kiss (Knussen, Shelton, DG)
- Mozart symphs 35, 40 & 41 (Szell)
They don't seem to make as many recordings as they used to. However, I
see a Belioz Romeo & Juliette under Boulez is comming up.
Kind regards,
