Mendelssohn: Songs without Words

Search: 1. Andante cantabile
by: Daniel Barenboim

Release Date September 16, 1996
This is a lovely double CD set. Mendelssohn solo piano music is beautiful and very escapist. Although I am a classical buff myself, I am buying a second copy to give to my fashionable electric guitar playing mate who wants to get into classical but doesn't know what he'd like. I reckon this stuff is hard to dislike and very accessible to classical newbes. I also have no complaints about Barenboim's performance/interpretation of these works.

Haydn: Complete Piano Trios

Search: 1. Andante cantabile
by: Beaux Arts Trio

Release Date November 11, 1996
These works for piano, violin and cello have been greatly neglected for various reasons. Starting with Robert Schumann's negative comments of Haydn, these works along with many other masterpieces of Haydn have suffered all through the 19th and 20th century from scholarly and performer's neglect. They include more than a dozen masterpieces, neglected basically because they were considerd to be simply accompanied piano sonatas or written in what was considered to have been an old-fashioned style, where the cello part reproduces the piano part( a carry-over of the basso-ostinato) or simply accompanies the piano part.Historically this is because in the time of Haydn the pianoforte was weak in the bass and needed reinforcing. And they have been ... Read More:

John Ogdon plays Rachmaninov

Search: 1. Andante cantabile
from: EMI Classics

Release Date August 05, 2002
These Rachmaninov recordings lay in the vaults at EMI for a long time before anyone dared to release them. In his last years Ogdon's playing was very variable: one day he was in control; another day shambolic. The fact that he could still play superbly is supported by several pirate recordings from concerts, memories of him in concert and an astoundingly good disc of Bach-Busoni transcriptions recently released on Altarus.

Unfortunately these Rachmaninov recordings find him mostly on poor form. He was not in command of his fingers most of the time. Intellectually and musically you feel the power in these readings but it's virtually impossible to garner any enjoyment from them as you listen waiting for the next technical collapse. ...
