Beethoven and Brahms: Symphonies and Concertos

The list author says:
	"Solomon's second concerto - wonderful, though the 1947 sound is pretty rusty"

The list author says:
	"A great 5th and a wonderful 7th in stereo. Again the early London recordings."

The list author says:
	"Furtwangler's Symphonies"

The list author says:
	"Solomon - the great Beethoven pianist from the East End"

The list author says:
	"The most wonderful rendition of the 4th, and an excellent Emperor"

The list author says:
	"A showman's Emperor from Michelangeli"

The list author says:
	"I particularly love the way Oistrakh plays this - see also the sublime 1958 performance with Cluytens (on EMI Classics - "David Oistrakh - Legend")"

The list author says:
	"Menuhin and Furtwangler (though, in my opinion, Oistrakh is first choice)"

The list author says:
	"A beautiful Brahms' Double Concerto, Szell conducting. Worth having for this alone."

The list author says:
	"Klemperer's powerful Symphony No. 1"

The list author says:
	"Furtwangler's blazing Brahms' Symphonies - the 1st is a must have"

The list author says:
	"Solomon - the essential recording of Concerto No.1, with the lovely Handel Variations"

The list author says:
	"Gilels Brahms Piano Concerti - a must have"

The list author says:
	"The early Klemperer recording of the Eroica with the wonderful Leonore Overture No. 1 - the Leonore is a must have, though in truth I prefer Klemperer's stereo 3rd"

The list author says:
	"Brahms and Oistrakh - what more do you need?"

The list author says:
	"Gilels - Beethoven"

The list author says:
	"An excellent set - the first, second and fourth are incredible - the second in particular"

The list author says:
	"A famous live performance - see also the wartime recording"

The list author says:
	"I have many reservations about Karajan, but do like like this ridiculously fast rendition of the Pastoral - nature, but as seen from an E-Type...."

The list author says:
	"an answer to the problem of a good Brahms 3rd?"

The list author says:
	"an earlier and more energetic Gilels recording of Brahms' 2nd Piano concerto. Includes a great Coriolan Overture"
