How to choose the first disc to be played?

If the web is right it’s the Brandenburgs.Originally posted by Alison View Post
257 CD’s in total.
Never saw him in concert but I would put his 1976 Simon Boccanegra at Covent Garden (imported from La Scala) in the top 5 Opera experiences in 50 years of Opera going. Thankfully it was recorded.Comment

EH is correct in saying that Disc 1 is the Bach Brandenburgs. I've chosen to play Mendelssohn's Ruy Blas Overture, Mozart PC 20 with Rudolf Serkin and the complete Bartok Miraculous Mandarin all with the LSO.Originally posted by Alison View Post
I saw Abbado live so many times it's amazing. Not just in London but also in Vienna, Berlin and Venice. Some unforgettable concerts there."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Lydia Maria Blank’s previous recordings have been very impressive indeed, I think she’s the real deal.Comment

I was lucky enough to hear him conduct a few times. The first time was with the LSO where he conducted Mozart 41 and Brahms 4. It was part of an LSO/Shell tour. The level of commitment from both Orchestra and conductor suggested it was the only time these musicians were ever going to perform these works!!Originally posted by Ein Heldenleben View Post
Alas, I also heard him conduct the Schumann piano concerto and Brahms 3 with the Berliner Philharmoniker. He’d told the press he was leaving the orchestra before telling them so, to put it mildly, the atmosphere was quite frosty! He conducted Brahms 3 looking at the Usher Hall’s ceiling and the Schumann was absolutely dreadful with no co-ordination between soloist and conductor! One of the most disappointing performances I’ve ever attended!Comment

Very good on first listen - and a good organ too. I can’t find the booklet online but, while looking, I saw that he published a book on Frescobaldi last year

Yes, looks fascinating. Are some first recordings, I wonder? I know the Jade Mountain has been done before.Originally posted by Pulcinella View PostComment

I have it on an ASV release, and didn't know it had been reissued on Lyrita.
I'm sure that a fair few will be first recordings.

This looks like a fascinating recital of 400 years of music from Palestrina to Debussy on the harpsichord! The latest disc from the wonderful Jean Rondeau.

Or maybe it was a rendition the morning after the night before?Comment
