Starting a Classical CD Collection
PAUL HORSLEY over at the Kansas City Star has put together some decent advise for starting a classical CD collection as well as a listening guide as a starting point. His advise is quite helpful especially his point of selecting the right recording being crucial to enjoyment. I suppose a listening guide for the purposes of building a CD collection can be quite subjective so I won’t comment on Paul’s list but have I have to take exception with his statement - “Beethoven: Piano Sonatas (“Appassionata,â€? “Moonlight,â€? “Pathetiqueâ€?) Favorites of beginning pianists…” - Ok maybe the first movement of the Moonlight sonata but these sonatas are difficult works making up the concert repertoire of accomplished pianists, and part of the required playing for the top levels of many music curricula such as the royal conservatory of music.
