Robert Lyman plys the List: >I have been searching for a while now, with no luck. Can anyone recommend >a good CD of Schoenberg's Violin concerto? I can only tell you what I've kept, and why -- not what's currently "out there." [1] Amoyal/LSO/Boulez [coupled with the Piano Concerto [P. Serkin/LSO/Boulez] Erato ECD 88175 [1986]. Boulez's reputed analytical bent notwithstanding, this is a distinctly Romantic account. The performance of the Piano Concerto is even more markedly observant of musical ancestries. Decent sound. [2] Krasner/Bayerische Rundfucks/Mitropoulos Broadcast of 07/09/1954. Coupled with dire inappropriateness with Prokofiev's 5th Sym, on the same program. ORFEO C204 891A [1989]. Louis Krasner's tone is stark, his approach restrained nearly to a fault. This broadcast tape sounds at least as good as the commercial recording made by Krasner for Columbia Records around the same time. Hope this helps.... John Wiser [log in to unmask]
