I am interested in three recordings and would like to know if any listmember has opinions: one is the Bashmet/Moscow-soloists recording of Brahms clarinet quintet and DSCH quartet #13 (arrangements for string orchestra). I think this is on Sony. The other is one (and only one) of two recordings of Winterreise: Quasthoff (RCA) and Goerne/Graham Johnson (Hyperion); which one would you choose? For the last one: a friend of mine years ago had played for me a CD with Mahler's string orchestra arrangements of the Death and the Maiden and of the Beethoven Op.95 string quartets. I don't remember what label/conductor/orch. this was but it was very good. Does anyone know of a recommendable CD with this coupling which is still available? Thanks Ulvi [log in to unmask]
