The fifty greatest recordings of all time...?

[MrGongGong]

Surely Pierre Schaeffer's

Étude aux chemins de fer

IS one of the greatest recordings of all time ........(if that's your bag !)

I don't like lists; what's the point of this one?

They're hoping to be included on the "Fifty Greatest Lists" list.

I once wrote a piece called "Recursive Strategies"

Very good!

[Mary Chambers]

We haven't had 'all time' yet, so how do they know?

[gurnemanz]

Surprising that all the record companies in the history of the world managed to produce so few chamber music recordings worthy of inclusion. (Busch late Beethoven and Mozart Horn Quintet - only present as a coupling to concertos with Brain). Apart from Janowitz Four Last Songs, no Lieder or indeed English or French song.

This list might make my list of 50 best lists.

So nothing by Stravinsky ???

[aeolium]

That first list had no recording at all of music by Haydn. Surely there ought to be one from the Pro Arte quartet's landmark inter-war series of Haydn quartet recordings, or the Beaux Arts Trio's set of the piano trios, or the OAE/Kujiken Paris symphonies set?

[salymap]

Sorry, visitors due - to save time any Elgar- Gerontius with Heddle Nash would be on my list ?

[MrGongGong]

Surely they are ALL of a certain Alpen symphony ?

Right. I'm also amused by "of all time" being applied to something that's a fairly recent invention...

Greatest POEM of all time would feel far more credible than recording/movie/TV show/etc.!

but I guess that depends on how you understand time to be

[BBMmk2]

I am glaqd the Britten/Britten War Requiem was so high! Surprising!
