Suggestion(s) for "the Gramophone collection"
Sun, Jan 2 2011, 12:34AM
Hello all,
I wondered if there were any good (new) recordingsof Vieuxtemps 2nd, 4th and 5th around. Maybe one of these concerto's could be featured in a "the Gramophone collection" round?
By the way, are there any other suggestions for "the Gramophone collection"?

RE: Suggestion(s) for "the Gramophone collection"
I couldn't agree more - it's such a useful and enjoyable, learned and erudite part of Gramophone, and yet it's not possible to search by 'Collection' article. I compiled my own 'Collection' reference list by composer/work a few years back, starting from issues in the early 70s, but I conked out somewhere around 2003. I should finish it because when I'm listening to a piece I often wonder what the Collection overview wrote about the work. It's one of the best sources of advice on recordings of a work, because of the comparisons and contrasts of all the available versions. Hope they can introduce it into the search engine.

RE: Suggestion(s) for "the Gramophone collection"
Thanks to James for giving us a list.
The major problem I see is being able to correlate with such surveys issues that come out subsequently. I recently looked at two Stravinsky ballets, the Rite of Spring and Petrushka which were surveyed in 1992 and 1997, which is getting a long way back!
A significant number of recordings in the discographies are no longer available, reissued with different numbers or are in massive boxed sets. I feel that more reviews should include selected comparisons with a significant number of accepted recommended recordings.
I find Presto Classical's website useful in quickly finding out what recordings of a work are accepted as recommendable.

RE: Suggestion(s) for "the Gramophone collection"
Thanks for the list.
I wonder... if pdf files were available would be a happy woman.
Please.
Happy New Year!!
The Gramophone Collection is one of the most authoritative around so it is disappointing that one cannot search for archive articles specifically in the Gramophone Archive. Another problem is that the chosen recordings (often in small boxes underneath album covers) do not scan into the Archive so often the chosen recording is not revealed!! i do not want to add to the excessive GBs of rants on the other thread - but just wanted to point this out politely.
Therefore i may be wrong on some of these claims - if I am please point me in the direction of the archive links!
Mahler (especially in his anniversary year) seems to have been under-represented. I am not aware of a Mahler 9 retrospecitve.
I have also not found a Cosi Fan Tutte collection nor a Don Giovanni.
