BEETHOVEN: VIOLIN CONCERTO RO

SAINT-SAËNS: SYMPHONY NO.3 ORG

GERSHWIN: RHAPSODY IN BLUE AN

J. STRAUSS: BEST OF WALTZES &

Long regarded as the quintessential interpretation of the most popular and best-loved symphony ever written, this performance of the Fifth has everything: passion, precision, drama, lyric beauty, and a coiled fury in the first movement that sets your pulse racing from the very first note. Carlos Kleiber has made very few recordings in his distinguished career, but almost all are special. If you own no other copy of this symphony, this is the one to get. It comes with an exceptional performance of the Seventh-not quite as gripping as the Fifth, but definitely one of the great ones. There is classical music, and there are classic recordings of classical music. This one's a classic.

HENZE: EL CIMARRÓN

DISCOVER MOZART

For pianist Yuja Wang's 2015 album on DG, she wows with two perennial hits: Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major and The Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D major. Ravel composed both concertos between 1929 and 1930 and the latter was commissioned by the Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm during World War I. The young, stellar conductor Lionel Bringuier and Tonhalle-Orchester Z�rich are the perfect partners.

All 32 of Beethoven's piano sonatas performed by one of his greatest interpreters, Daniel Barenboim. Most sets need 10 CDs to cover this piano cycle, so ours is even more of a bargain!
