I got that set after enjoying Zinman's Beethoven symphonies, but I found it very disappointing.fergus wrote:Mozart – Violin Concertos 4 & 5....
I think that these were fine performances in themselves but neither are truly Mozartians imho. For true Mozart playing the touch needs to be delicate and a certain phrasing is required along with certain lilt required in the playing. An enjoyable set nonetheless.

A recording that I return to time and time again. It also has the added benefit of clearing out the living room when I want a bit of peace and quiet. :-)

Re: What are you listening to?
I bought the BBC music magazine with the CD of Bach organ music ..
I have not listenned to it yet and I am looking forward to it.
But may I suggest to Jared to listen to the last track [Passacaglia and Fugue] since, IMHO, it is one of Bachs best pieces .. maybe listen a few times

Re: What are you listening to?
James... I've listened twice, and that's enough. Don't misunderstand me... there is nothing wrong with the construct of Bach's pieces... if they were played on harpsichord, they'd get a regular listen (only today, I was listening to his famous Toccata & Fugue on violin; quite joyous)... but on Organ, I'm afraid not...james wrote: But may I suggest to Jared to listen to the last track [Passacaglia and Fugue] since, IMHO, it is one of Bachs best pieces .. maybe listen a few times
