Dear Freinds:

Just examined the Concertgebouw site and it is really something...the Mengelberg samples are superb and the Fidelio recording is excellent.

Have a listen to the string work in the Tannheuser Overture...magnificent.

check the video of the Oberon from 1936, what a wonderful testimony to how great this orchestra truly is !!1

Yup. Pretty special.

I just had to do Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto, and picked a CD at random (well, not quite random, I figured George Pieterson might have been at the mighty Wurlitzer...)

Murray Perahia and the CGBW on a Sony CD with the 4th Concerto as well.

Now I don't know much about piano music, but I know what I like, and this version was just abso-fraggin'-lutely staggering. Best thing ever both in terms of the Ivories, and the backing.

The offbeat dah-dum, dah-dum bits in the first movement really swung in a sort of Dutch Conga style.
