Ed Zubrow asks for recommendations from the Berkshire Record Outlet catalogue: >Brandenburg Concertos with Rillig and Oregon Bach Festival on Hanssler. I'd save my dough. I've always found Rilling a particularly dull Bach interpreter. >SCHUBERT: I have zero Die Schone Mullerin (amazing in light of the recent >thread!). The catalogue offers one with Schrier and guitar accompaniment >on Berlin and one with Ian Partridge on Classics/Pleasure. Go for both: the first, because of the unusual accompaniment; the second, because Ian Partridge was one of the great Lieder singers, too little known or appreciated. >Strauss Don Quixote with Ormandy on Biddulph Two very great soloists: Feuermann as Quixote, Samuel Lifchey as Sancho. Unfortunately, very constricted mono sound. Also Ormandy had a lot of difficulty keeping contrapuntal music together. Some of the more spectacular sections come out like mud. If you don't own a Quixote already, don't start with this one. My top recommendation is Szell and the Cleveland with F0urnier. Steve Schwartz
