Bach and Gubaidulina might seem like odd disc mates, but it works! Gubaidulina wrote this new concerto for Mutter

I seem to recall the Verklarte Nacht is early Schoenberg from his days before venturing into atonal/serial music. In any case it's a great work. I have the version you reference and also a version for string quartet ...

Arnold Schoenberg: Verklarte Nacht ~ Artemis String Quartet

Some concerti by contemporary Canadian composer, R. Murray Schafer. Enjoyable pieces; modern but not avant garde.

The Darkly Splendid Earth, double rhapsody for violin & orchestra: The Lonely Traveller ~ Jacques Israelievitch (violin); Gunther Herbig & Toronto Symphony

Harp Concerto ~ Judy Loman (harp); Andrew Davis & Toronto Symphony

Flute Concerto ~ Robert Aitken (flute); Kazuyoshi Akiyama & Vancouver Symphony

I also enjoy Schafer's string quartets.

I was not familiar with this artist, but an equipment reviewer for The Absolute Sound uses it as a reference recording, so I thought if nothing else it would sound good, and it certainly does! (It's recorded by famed engineer Peter McGrath. I did note that the piano image favors the right channel a bit, but the sound is very present and clear--a live recording.) Fortunately, the playing is wonderful too: by turns thunderingly virtuosic or poetically delicate as the music requires.

Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances, Vocalise/ Eiji Oue, Minnesota Orchestra; half-speed mastered 33.3 rpm vinyl, Reference Recordings.

Very good sound quality, great dynamics, impressive bass, flawless performance.

Offenbach's Ballet from the 1930s in one of its most famous recordings with Fiedler and the Boston Pops, 33.33 rpm vinyl.

The piece has become the epitome of showing legs and panties to strangers and an embodiment of Frenchness.
