Favourite Giulini recordings?

[Karafan]

Thanks folks - some very interesting food for thought there.....

One I hadn't come across which I saw online was his LAPO Falstaff - anyone heard it/have an opinion?

I was lucky to catch Giulini a few times in the concert hall, most memorably at a 1982 Prom with the Philharmonia which featured Mozart 36 and Bruckner 7 (both available on BBC Legends).

There's also a live Verdi Requiem on BBC Legends that is superior to the much-vaunted EMI set.

I would vote for his Verdi Requiem, having heard him conduct it in Leeds in, I think, 1961.

I only know the EMI, which I love, but must investigate the Legends issue - thanks, Petrushka.

As a lover of both Kuijken's and Guilini's Don Giovanni recordings...

Thanks, ferney. Invested now in Kuijken...

Alas seemingly deleted but available "pre-owned" (you can tell I've just been in the USA) via Amazon is this:

which has to have some of the most wonderful playing of Falla ever recorded, especially in Love the Magician

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned his Chicago Mahler 9.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned his Chicago Mahler 9.

On CD (all incarnations) this has suffered for some listeners at least with a strange pulsing in the string sound.

I am fan of his late, massively conceived Dvorak 7 with the Concertgebouw on Sony. I do find some of his other later recordings a tad lethargic.

or maybe his Beethoven 3 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic?

[Barbirollians]

Or his Figaro - just as fine as the Don Giovanni I think.

Interesting. I only listen to the Mahler 9 on lp.
