Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

His Strauss 'Heldenleben' with the (R)SNO is one of my all time fav. cd's, not least because of the wonderful account of the solo violin part by the orchestra's long time leader, Edwin Paling.Comment

Yes - a steal. However, the BIS set has an extra disc with Excelsior, Snofrid and the Serenade for Orchestra although much more expensive.Originally posted by Parry1912 View PostComment

DGs fat box of the complete orchestral music of Grieg on 6 CDs was issued as a Centenary Edition in 1993, I'm not sure if it is still extant. Jarvi conducts the Gothenburg SO.
All the familiar music is there, the only disappointment is Lilya Zilberstein's performance of the Piano Concerto. The set includes all the vocal items with orchestra, including a complete Peer Gynt, and rarely heard works like Olav Trygvason and Bergliot. Soloists include Barbara Bonney and Hakan Hagegard. This is a splendid Jarvi set, well worth seeking out.Comment

Kalinnikov1 , his DSCH Chandos recordings especially No 10- seemed to go off the boil on DG and his Prokofiev on Chandos too.Comment

Probably because the orchestras he worked with hadn't half the commitment of the SNO!Originally posted by Barbirollians View PostLast edited by pastoralguy; 17-12-12, 09:06.Comment
