This bargain price 3 CD set is a major find.
Mono recordings by pianist Clifford Curzon - after hearing his later stereo recordings I wondered what all the fuss about him was ... now I know!

Superb readings, in decent to excellent mono sound, of 2 Mozart piano concertos, the 2 Mozart piano quartets (with members of the Amadeus Quartet) and the 2 Brahms piano concertos.



Fabulous!

Yep, Selections is a bargain hunter's paradise - I've used them for a decade or two!

They also sell on Amazon under various nom de plumes - sometimes even cheaper than on their main site, especially if you want just a single CD, as the Amazon postage rate is less! It's always worth checking for titles in Amazon Market Place. ;)

Excellent - I much prefer Igor Oistrakh to his more famous dad, David, on the violin. Igor has soul!

What a fine piece of music - doesn't raise the rafters like Verdi's Requiem, or explore the nether regions of emotional depth like Mozart's - but still just nice to listen to! :)

Hear my first Curzon yesterday: Mozart PC K466. I must have 20 versions but I think this is the best. Every single note seems to have significance, tempos perfect, orchestra absolutely spot on too.

Have you got his Schubert 'Moments Musicaux'? I've got that on vinyl, on a recording from 1971, and it's superb! :)

Nope - not yet! :)

That Decca Strauss LP looks a tad interesting, as well, Marco! :drool:

Obtained for £3.99 the other day from a local Oxfam charity shop - minty 12 LP set, with 1 missing. Gradually, working my way through it. By gum, old ArturR could play Chopin! :eek:

And another wonderful 8 LP set obtained the same day for £2.99.

Gradually working my way through that one as well.

Wonderful stuff! :)
