One giant step (backward) for Mankind?

Some rare good recording LPs(even modern classical Karhaintz Stockhausen's LP!) have not published as CDs yet.
my local music friend is crying about it...

Has anybody here tried Bruckner's Symphs, by Barenboim and his Staatskapelle Berliners?

Dang, Wilhelm Kempff's 1956 DG recording of the Moonlight Sonata (#14) really hits you in the gut.

Do his Schubert D.960.
Then hear Richter's D.960 -- first mvt.

This is the one I want to get converted. It's the best Schumann Dichterliebe recording imo, just look at the accompanist!

@uchi,  I sincerely hope that the reptiles do not also get transferred when you digitize this baby.

This is a digitised rip I think of the same LP, not too 

 
considering the SQ, cortot must have been ancient when he recorded this...

Heh gotta love this thread and its denizens.

@uchi, I wanna hear Flagstad do Strauss' Four Last Songs. She's known more for Wagner.....

Schiff is great, and the recording is superb, but GG is too idiosyncratic to be dethroned. More like a neighboring throne in a different kingdom. I'll have to check out the Richter. 
 
Going through the 17-disc set "The Truth of Beethoven" that apparently only came out in Israel (probably for copyright reasons).
 
This is a typical disc:
David Oistrakh and Lev Oborin doing Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 9 in A-major "Kreutzer" (1956, TESTAMENT/EMI) sounds quite good considering it's 60 years old. Combine that with the One Movement Piano Trio in B-flat Maj, Wihelm Kempff, Henryk Szeryng (violin) and Peirre Fournier (1970, DG), and then finish off with the String Quartet No. 7 in F-Maj, "Rasumowsky" with the Quartetto Italiano (1974, Philips).
 
I honestly don't know how they managed to construct these albums, but they're really good despite the strange juxtaposition of labels and time periods.

Nice set you have there. I have those recs separately, and the violin sons by Oistrakh are terrific. Not sure about Oborin. I would have preferred someone like Kempff who is more poetic. (Kempff did record a few sonatas with Menuhin, I believe. The Kreutzer and Spring sonatas, if I remember right). I was listening to the Triple Cto last night on my floor system, with Richter, Oistrakh, and Rostropovich. That is still my go-to for the Triple. What an under-performed piece (at least in concert nowadays) as it contains so many humming-good melodies. A real gem of a piece, and a great rec.
 
The Italianos do a great quartet cycle (esp with SQ), it's probably my fav, up there with Prazak, Tokyo (1990s), and the Berg.
 
Bring a good pillow for the Richter D.960 

 

[CanadianMaestro]

This one.

Menuhin and Kempff recorded all the Beethoven sonatas, but to my ears the Oistrakh-Oborin set is preferable.I also prefer the Kempff-Schneiderhahn-Fournier-Fricsay recording of the Triple concerto to the in-famous Karajan-All Star rendition.
