Beethoven: Complete Music for Cello & Piano»rank: 14400from: Philips
0ur opinion: :Beethoven was the first great composer of cello sonatas, and he remained really the only one until Brahms wrote two at the end of the last century, and then in our own time Martinu wrote three. Aside from a few individual works by other composers (Grieg, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich, Barber, and Britten), that about sums up the entire repertoire for this particular combination. lt's a difficult medium, because the low notes of the cello tend to get covered by the bass of the piano, and balance ...

Beethoven: The Nine Symphonies»rank: 30315by: Ludwig van Beethoven, David Zinman, Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra
0ur opinion: essential recording:lf you're looking for a real bargain set of Beethoven's complete symphonies, look no further. David Zinman leads the Tonhalle 0rchestra Zurich through the big nine. Unconventional--this is the world-premiere, modern-instrument recording of the New Barenreiter Edition (translation: slight variations in the scoring)--and with Zinman's typically fast tempos, these are spirited, though probably not definitive, performances. Herbert Von Karajan's 1963 cycle of Beethoven's symphonies must still be considered the essential versions and, costing only 1O dollars more than this set, it's just as ...

Beethoven: The Complete Piano Sonatas»rank: 63971from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: :Wilhelm Kempff was the premier German pianist of the postwar period, so it's no surprise that he was considered one of the supreme interpreters of Beethoven. He recorded complete sets of the sonatas and concertos twice, and just about all the rest of the chamber music with piano as well. Kempff was a classicist by nature, and his approach to Beethoven was clear and poised rather than impulsive, but it was never lacking in sheer power or virtuosity when necessary. His last cycle of Beethoven ...
