Bach: Concertos for Piano and Orchestra Nos. 1-5 & 7 (The Glenn Gould Edition)»rank: 89513from: Sony
0ur opinion: essential recording:Glenn Gould was this century's greatest Bach player, so these legendary recordings are self-recommending. While other fine pianists have made powerful statements in this music, no one sounds anything like Gould. His phenomenal clarity of articulation, digital control, and well, just plain interesting way with the music set him completely apart from the competition. With playing of this individuality and quality, it's pointless to engage in any debate with respect to the appropriateness of the piano versus the harpsichord. Scholars and pedants may continue to ...

Bidu Sayao: Opera Arias and Brazilian Folksongs»rank: 32571by: Bidu Sayao, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Charles Gounod, Jules Massenet, Reynaldo Hahn, Henri Duparc, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Charles Koechlin, Ernest Moret, Francisco Ernani Braga, Fausto Cleva, Pietro Cimara, Erich Leinsdorf, Paul Breisach, Leonard Rose, Milne Charnley
0ur opinion: :Bidú Sayão's silvery, impeccably tuned voice was small in size, but rich in nuance, shading, and emotion. Her recording of the Villa-Lobos Bachiana Brasileira No. 5 is justly famous, unmatched for lightness and sensuality. Few have dashed off the Jewel Song from Faust with similar insouciance or imbued the last phrases of Manon's 'Adieu , notre petite table' as touchingly as Sayão does here. Her French song interpretations glow with charm and style, and a previously unreleased snippet from Ravel's L'enfant et les sotilèges makes one regret ...

Brahms: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3»rank: 113597from: Sony
0ur opinion: :The Columbia Symphony may not have been a first-class orchestra, but Bruno Walter trained them to do the right things, and they responded with first-class accounts of these symphonies. While there are instances of less than crack ensemble, there is also some very fine first-desk playing, and the performances as a whole are marked by a natural feeling of movement, phrasing, and expression. Walter's approach to the music is kindly, caring, and wonderfully whole--sunny but not overly brilliant, warm but not overly heated, sincere but not overly ...
