Somone here could name some of the largest (or need) of each composer's compositions listed?
It is easy for my personal gain. Mostly I'm a fan of impressionist and romantic era of classical, but there are many exceptions. Here goes: (5-10 per composer do works) would Resphigi: Strauss Rachmaninov: Chopin: Scriabin: Dukas Debussy: Mussorgsky Provofiev Mahler: Brahms Schubert Schumann Tchaikovsky Dvorak List: Ravel: Holst: Ponchielli Puccini Elgar Wagner Vivaldi Mozart Beethoven Smetana, Bartok Bach Handel Haydn Williams, Copland, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Carter …. That's it for today. Could also They recommend similar lesser-known composers, as some help maybe? Thanks.
Oh! This list is great! I will only my favorite music the composer. Resphigi: the ballet La Boutique Fantasque Strauss: Four Last Songs (Vier letzte Lieder). One of my favorite compositions Rachmaninov: Paganini Rhapsody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2cTsDOs8xs Chopin: Nocturnes Most of his Scriabin: Symphony No. 3 Op. 34 "Le Divin Poème" Dukas: The Sorcerer's Apprentice, although the best known and I thing is very original, I really like his Sonata in E minor Debussy: Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain. There is a version with brass, that I love the Belgian Brass, in the album: "Russian Heritage" Provofiev: Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella and The Classic Symphony Mahler: Symphonies For me: 1, 5 and 10 Brahms: Piano Concerto 1 in D Minor (I love it) The 5th Tchaikovsky and 6 Symhonies and "Swan Lake" Schumann: Forest Scenes, Op 82 / 7 Schubert. All his songs List (do you think my favorite is ), Liszt Liebestraum No. 3 in A flat Dvorak: Cello Concerto in B Minor OP 10 Ravel: Bolero Holst: I do not like him at all, but if I get " to choose would be something I Capriccio "Puccini: Turandot, especially the last scene Ponchielli. La Gioconda, in particular the section" Sucidio "Elgar: Enigma Variations! Wagner: The overture is from Tristan and Isolde Vivaldi: Violin Sonata in D major, Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra I edit them and, I fear losing this info! (Lol) Smetana: The Moldau Beethoven, all of his piano concertos and the sixth Symphony Mozart: Laudate Domiunum, a small jewel Williams: Vaughan Willliams: Hymn Prelude Rhosymedre on Haydn: String Quartet No. 2 in D major Handel: from the opera Rinaldo, "Lascia ch'io pianga" to hear a must Bach. St. Matthew Passion Copland: Not my favorite, but maybe I would choose Rodeo Carter: I do not know him well enough to say Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire! Stravinsky: Le Sacre du Printemps and Firebird …. That's it for today. You could recommend similar lesser known composers, as some help maybe? My recommendation is this wonderful "Ave Maria", much less is known, especially this version: Ave Maria by Giulio Caccini sang by Inessa Galante, my favorite Ave Maria and much less is known Phew, that was a job!

Often cited as the finest violinist to emerge from the Soviet Union during the post-war era, David Oistrakh demonstrates his superb technique and passion for music in this collection of rare performances, most culled from television appearances of the 1960s. Classic Archive: Brahms/Sibelius/Tchaikovsky/Oistrakh features Oistrakh’s interpretations of violin concertos by Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Sibelius, as well as selection by Beethoven, Lalo, and Kreisler. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto features respected musician Ivry Gitlis interprets a number of pieces by such renowned composers as Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and Bartok. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
David Oistrakh’s 1954 studio recording of Brahms’ Violin Concerto with Franz Konwitschny and the Staatskapelle Dresden on Deutsche Grammophon has been a longtime favorite of his fans, and it is reissued here on Hänssler. It is a faster, tighter, more spontaneous reading than his other studio recordings (due to the fact that it was recorded in a quick morning session added at the last minute), but it features Oistrakh’s sinewy yet strong tone, sweet intonation, and muscular approach to rhythm. Unfortunately, the thick, heavy, and gray sound of this Hänssler disc is inferior to DG’s original, which was leaner and brighter in tone. Konwitschny and the Staatskapelle’s account of Tchaikovsky’s Fourth included as a coupling here does distinguish this release from the DG original, but Konwitschny’s interpretation is taut to the point of breaking and generally nervous, sounding more like a patchwork of ballet excerpts than a symphony. Also, the sound of the Tchaikovsky is even thicker and heavier than on the Brahms’ concerto. In short, listeners interested in Oistrakh in the concerto should seek out the original DG release before reaching for this one. ~ James Leonard, Rovi Performers: David Oistrakh – Violin
Zino Francescatti was a French violinist with an Italian-sounding name, who was big in the late mono/early stereo era, both as a recording artist and in concert circles. If the name of Francescatti has not survived as well as some of his contemporaries — for example Jascha Heifetz or Yehudi Menuhin, the latter being a generation younger, but began competing with Francescatti as a child prodigy — it is partly because Francescatti’s commercial recordings have had very little exposure in the digital era. Francescatti’s commercial recordings belong to Sony Classical, which has never been big on reissuing its monophonically made classical recordings — call it, if you will, “Zino’s Paradox.” However, this has not stopped European companies from reissuing them, usually without proper credit or identification of provenance. This Music and Arts set, Zino Francescatti: Violin Concertos by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, is a totally different animal in that it is not made up of studio recordings, but entirely from live concert appearances, broadcasts, and possibly a rehearsal or two, ranging from what would have been mid-career from Francescatti to near the end, 1946 to 1972. The four-disc set is partly made up of concerto performances with André Cluytens in 1946, Leinsdorf and the ORTF in 1969, Paul Kletzki and the same orchestra in 1970, and with Dorati in 1972. The balance is taken up with duet settings, most recorded in 1958 and 1961 with Eugenio Bagnoli at the piano from Besançon and Bordeaux, and a Beethoven Sonata No. 7 in C minor Op. 30/2 with Robert Casadesus from 1963. These really do not seem to have been issued on CD before, and Music and Arts does not address the issue as to where these recordings come from, although they seem to imply that some of these tapes may have belonged to Francescatti himself at one time. The booklet does come with a detailed biographical sketch and an appreciation of Francescatti’s studio recordings, none of which appear here, by Henry Roth that originally formed a chapter in Roth’s book Great Violinists in Performance. With a group of recordings of such extensive provenance maintaining a consistency from one to the next is impossible, but engineer Maggi Payne does a terrific job in coming as close to that ideal as is possible, and in making the whole thing quite listenable. Even if you do not know the name of Francescatti well, violin fanciers really should try out this set. Francescatti falls right in between the creamy sonority and perfect tone of Heifetz and the emotional intensity of Menuhin, but most of all he is reminiscent of Thibaud with his Gallic sense of elegance and fluidity. All of it is enjoyable to listen to, despite the sonic flaws, and these are duly indicated along with the track listing. Zino Francescatti: Violin Concertos by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky may not cause you to discard all of the recordings of these concertos that you already own, but as a musical adventure in it
