Brahms Double Concerto for Violin and Cello
| Harnoncourt/Kremer/Hagen/Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra |
Bruckner Symphony No. 9
There are two specific recordings of the ninth we recommend
specifically for this concert, which shed light on the finale. The
Harnoncourt has a lecture on the finale, the Wildner has one of the
earlier editions of the completion.
| Nikolaus Harnoncourt/Wiener Philharmoniker |
Johannes Wildner/New Philharmonic Orchestra of Westphalia |
Wagner - Parsifal (Prelude)
For the complete opera we recommend Hans Knappertsbusch with Bayreuth Festival Chorus and Orchestra, or for the Prelude on its own Roger Norrington with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, which also includes Tchaikovsky's Symphony no. 6.
| Knappertsbusch/Bayreuth Festival Chorus and Orchestra |
Norrington/Stuttgart RSO |
