| This is some of the best violin music I have ever heard. Itzhak Perlman is the best violinist of our time. Heavenly! |

| I used to have this CD when I was maybe 8 years old. Now I'm 21, and I'm thinking of buying it again, because I have such fond memories of it. As I remember, it's perfect for younger kids (i.e. me) as an introduction to Beethoven's music, and as long as it's not too loud, it's very easy to fall asleep to. |

| Personally, I am not enough of a music wizard to be able to compare this CD with others producing the same concertos. It's beautiful, I hear no flaws, it sweeps me away. |

| I ordered this DVD because Artur Rubenstein was one of my favorite pianists. Also, I wanted to play it for my piano class of students. It did not disappoint, it was excellent. It even included an interview, which was a nice surprise. |

| I have always regretted the way London/Decca rearranged the Haitink performances: the original pairing of this performance of the 9th was with an equally fine performance of the 1st (now paired with the intermittently interesting but ultimately unsuccessful 3rd). The performances of both symphonies on the original disc capture the mix of light and dark, playfulness and tragedy, lyricism and satire. It is unfortunate, that the current disc pairs an exemplary recording of the witty 9th with Haitink's beautifully ... Read More: |

| i went searching for a Beethoven CD because i was lucky enough to find this wonderful Mozart one. But this Beethoven CD doesnt have the best performances. The most popular pieces are apparently played by beginners because the notes sound disjointed, as if they arent playing together but playing each piece separately, which is not what an orchestra is supposed to sound like....otherwise we wouldnt call it an orchestra....it would be an elementary school meddley! But anyway, the less popular pieces are boring, like the compilers ... Read More: |

| There are certainly many very good choices for Haydn's masterful last 12 symphonies, named the London Symphonies" because he was a resident of London at the time he wrote the masterpieces.
Some obvious choices include Bernstein's classic set (Haydn: The 12 London Symphonies), the Beecham legendary traversal (in two double-CD sets - Haydn: Symphonies #99-104 and Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 93-98 - or in a 6 CD box with the Beecham recording of The Seasons sung in English - Haydn: 'London' Symphonies; The Seasons). Kuijken is a good choice ... Read More: |

| There are very few recordings of Dinu Lipatti, due to his tragically early death. All them are in this 7 CD set (unless I have missed something), and all of them are of otherworldly beauty. In particular the Schubert impromptu no.2 in E-flat I found to be the most soulful recording of any piece I have ever heard. Needless to say I recommend this product to absolutely everyone.
A few quotations from others who can describe Lipatti much better than I: From Yehudi Menuhin - Lipatti was a "manifestation of a spirit realm, resistant to all pain and ... Read More: |
