Favorite Classical CDs by 
NickVolos 
If you made it this far down, you just discovered my favorite chart of all - a list of my favorite classical CDs. Most of these CDs are collections of multiple of the composer's works - in some cases spanning the whole lifetime of the composer - rather than individual works. The chart is sorted based on my favorite collection of a composer's work and not based on the performer(s) and/or conductor that interprets it. All selections are rated 100 as all represent the absolutely top most quality that music has to offer. Reverse this chart from 100 to 1 and the music in it remains beautifully perfect.

I absolutely love this collection of Concertos, this recording was performed by one of the finest chamber orchestras - The English Concert, conducted by Trevor Pinnock from the harpsichord and organ. This is a 5 CD set released in 1988 on the Archiv label. This group covers over three decades of Vivaldi's career from the winter of 1708 until one month before his death in 1741. The format is 'alla rustica' - the musical instuments include violin, viola, violoncello, double bass, transverse flute, archlute, chamber organ, harpsichord, bassoon, theorbo, mandolin, chalumeau, recorder, and oboe and are from the period. This set will give you nearly a day of Vivaldi without interruption. When I have a long stretch of intensive study or writing this is a favorite...Baroque music invigorates the mind like nothing else, bringing out your creativity and mental endurance. Sometimes I will simply watch the sun set to it, enjoying a glass of merlot or hot tea depending on the agenda for the evening. (Hobbitears "Carol Cassedy", Amazon Customer Review)

Mozart Sonatas lack the pathos and gravity of Beethoven's, but reveal a beauty more etheric and elusive. It is not for nothing that most pianists do not dare to touch them, as they represent a world that seems simple and one-dimensional, but is in fact the complete opposite. Mozart' inclination to simplicity reveals, when played by someone with a kindred soul, his Incomparable Genius. Maria Joao Pires does just that.
Her tone is a delicate and lyrical one: warm, soulful, clear and adept to Mozart's subtle and intricate compositions. What I most like about her is her sense of timing and flowing momentum that expresses the essence of a Mozartean Sonata.
You could say this is the most rounded and soulful collection of Mozart's sonatas . But that would not give enough credit to Maria Joao Pires Artistry. Each and every piece is played with an almost unassuming elegance and clarity; no manierisms, ideosyncracies, just a springing forth of the Music.
She creates an atmosphere of delicate intimacy and tranclucent beauty, I have never heared before. She expresses it all: the elegance and lyricism of Mozart love for Opera, his ability to summon a sense of heartbreaking joy and splendour, longing and humour, deep agony and elusive freedom...the whole gamut of the highest of human sentiments and capabilities.
Of course there are other great boxes such as Brendel, Uchida, De La Rocha, Gould. But Pires' unique empathic sensitivity capture something which surpasses just a great performance but touches the heart of Mozart's music.

I have heard all these pieces and even played some myself over the years and thought that this was an excellent collection of Mozart's wind concerti. You really get to see the development of this prodigy from his teens (bassoon concerto) to his late 30s, the clarinet concerto was one of his last crowning pieces.
The oboe and bassoon concerti were both delightful and the "clicking" of the keys mentioned by another reviewer are the limitations of the instruments. I'm an oboist and all oboes and bassoons make this noise. I don't find it distracting at all. If you hear it, think of it as an percussive accompaniment. :-) I thought the bassoon concerto to be one of the best interpretations yet and the oboe concerto was confident and bright.
The Sinfonia Concertante (one of my original reasons for purchasing the set) was delightfully balanced and playful - a definite pleasure.
The flute concerto and andante were both fun to listen to as well as the concerto for flute and harp. The horn concerti are always joyful and are a nice balance to all the woodwind (technically-speaking) music.
The clarinet concerto was indeed lovely and played on a basset clarinet so there were some richer tones than when it's played on a typical 'A' clarinet. Superb.
I thought all the concerti had wonderful cadenzas and the orchestra was excellently balanced against the soloists. This is a CD collection that you will never regret and will feed your soul. (Music Freak, Amazon Customer Review) [First added to this chart: 11/08/2013]

The recording is superb, the playing excellent, and the quartets themselves are magnificent. Remember, Beethoven, his contemporary, said that Cherubini was the greatest living composer! Brahms revered him. (Bruce W. Moss, Amazon Customer Review)
Going on a sort of weeks-long Cherubini string quartet "binge", comparing complete sets of the composer's multi-movement numbered quartets, in the three integral performances of all of these works on record, gives rise to some observations about the music itself and the recorded renditions thereof. The works are enchanting and never-failing in inventiveness; it is hard to get those many quirky melodies, harmonies, incredible rhythmic vitality (in all of the parts, Cherubini's part-writing being so wonderfully vital and interesting for every instrument), tangy and/or odd harmonies, and clever (sometimes wonderfully strange yet utterly convincing!) modulations out of the head. Luigi Cherubini's string quartets, for those unfamiliar with works composed for Paris in the "quatuor concertant" manner, are quite distinct in style from the more familiar Viennese quartets of the composer's contemporaries Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Hummel. These works of Luigi Cherubini above all emphasise wit, rhythmic verve, and virtuousity alike in string playing and difficult ensemble unity; indeed, Cherubini composed all of his works for string quartet and for string quintet to feature the virtuoso quartet playing of the greatly skilled string players of Paris' best chamber ensembles of the first half of the 19th century.

All 9 guitar quintets by Luigi Boccherini are most probably arrangements of other pieces he wrote. Some were originally for piano quintet, some are combinations of pieces for other instruments. Nevertheless they sound very "original", have a definite Spanish feel to them and make very enjoyable listening.
Of course two movements have become famous by themselves. There is the Fandango, the final movement of the fourth quintet with an unmistakable obviously Spanish rhythm. And the ninth quintet has the highly entertaining "La ritirata di Madrid, depicting Madrid at night. Luciano Berio liked it so much that he made an "arrangement" of it.
This is a new recording by La Magnifica Communitá. This ensemble is recording Boccherini's other quintets as well. They are here joined by guitarist Eros Roselli. (publisher notes)
If you're looking for a set of Luigi Boccherini's complete guitar quintets on original instruments, you need look no further than this splendid two-disc set by the wonderfully named string ensemble La Magnifica Comunità with the equally delightfully named guitarist Eros Roselli. And if you're not looking for a set of Boccherini's guitar quintets, why in heaven's name not? Each work is a sparkling gem with different dazzling surfaces from the D minor with its delectable Cantabile through the D major with its evocative Fandango to the C major with its well-known and well-loved "La Ritirada di Madrid." And every performance here is a winner. The Italian period-instrument string players are not as dry as their northern European counterparts and La Magnifica Comunità's tone and ensemble here hit just the right balance between sweet and tart. Guitarist Roselli has a light, firm touch with just a hint of vibrato to sustain the work's long, lyrical lines. Recorded in very atmospheric yet still quite clear sound in 2005, these discs will charm anyone interested in either chamber music of the classical period or, for that matter, chamber music from any period featuring the guitar.

This volume of Sony/BMG's Original Jacket Collection compiles Arthur Rubinstein's stereo cycle of Chopin's solo piano music. Well regarded by most critics, these are some of the best selling classical recordings of all time.
It's no surprise that Sony/BMG would choose Rubinstein's last cycle of these works: recorded in stereo, they are easy to market to a generation accustomed to excellent sound. Rubinstein changed over time, he matured and mellowed, and by the time these recordings were made, he was already considered the elder statesman of Chopin interpreters. In general, his later approach is better suited to works like the Sonatas, but I prefer the spontaneity of his trailblazing 1930s versions of the Nocturnes, Mazurkas, and Scherzos, and the controlled fire of his 1950s set of Polonaises. There is one mono disc in this set, from 1946, including Rubinstein's first recording of the Sonata, Op 35, and his only version of the Preludes, Op. 28 - - neither of which show the pianist at his best. Rubinstein never recorded a complete set of Etudes, although he did record the Trois Nouvelles Etudes twice (the latter set is included here).
These recordings were originally issued as complete sets by genre, and Sony/BMG mostly follows the original programming concept (with the exception that the Mazurkas and Nocturnes are published on 2 CDs instead of 3 LPs). The original record covers are produced in miniaturized form, and the original liner notes are included. The sound is identical to BMG's 1999 complete Rubinstein reissue, which faithfully reproduces the pianist's distinct tone. If you already have those releases, there's little point in getting this set. But if you're new to Chopin or Rubinstein, this Original Jacket box is a worthy and classy investment.

A rare treat: no less than 7 CD's with instrumental chamber music by Henry Purcell. In spite of his past and present international fame too little attention has been paid to this part of his oeuvre. This collection offers a great variety: from 'the Staircase overture' to voluntaries for organ.
Henry Purcell's present fame is mainly based on some dramatic works -- Dido and Aeneas -, his anthems and numerous songs. In his relatively short life he managed to compose in every genre usual at the time. Well hidden among a vast amount of vocal music lies a relatively small collection of chamber music pieces.
Together with Handel Henry Purcell was and is England's most important baroque composer. He was also an organist and as such left behind remarkable little for his instrument. Pieter-Jan Belder - the keyboard player who also recorded the complete Scarlatti sonatas - combined this with Purcell's varied music for harpsichord, which includes eight suites.
Here (together with) his ensemble Musica Amphion (he) also performs the bulk of Purcell's chamber music: listen and enjoy. (publisher notes) [First added to this chart: 11/11/2013]

There are a few things that make the music of Telemann so addictive. First of all is the melodic quality of it - there just doesn't seem to be a single wasted or excessive note. Many composers can wrap their main themes with a lot of filler notes, or what I like to call "extended noodlings". Not Telemann. Everything is a melody from start to finish. Listen to "Solo in A Major - II. Vivace" as a prefect example of the melodic drive of Telemann's music.
Then there is the orchestrations in the music. I was a music composition and arranging major in college so I'm pretty cognizant of the orchestration of any music I hear. Telemann owns orchestration! I'm amazed every time I listen to his music just how deep and rich in textures his music is. Telemann blends wind instruments and strings in such a unique way. I don't believe that any other composer sounds like him. I fully enjoy Vivaldi's music, but many times I'll hear something and won't be sure if it is Vivaldi or another composer - not so with Telemann. "Concerto in A - Mvt.2", "Suite in B flat", "Suite in E minor - II. Rejouissance" or "Quartet in G - Mvt. 2" are just a few recommended orchestration examples I can throw out for your consideration.
This box set is a lot of Telemann for the money and the playing and recording quality is top notch. Telemann used a lot of different musical styles within the Tafelmusik collection. Suites, trios, quartets, concertos and solos are all featured - there is a lot of variety for your ears.
While this is probably the crown jewel of Telemann's work and the best place to start if you are new to Telemann it is by far nowhere near a complete representation of Telemann's work. Telemann is noted as being one of the (if not the) most prolific composers with something to the effect of 3,000 works! While this box set just might be my all time favorite classical music recording, I also recommend seeking out other Telemann recordings (after you buy this one first, of course).

Dowland is recognised as the true giant of late 16th- and early 17th-century lute. His music is very beautiful and although often characterised by melancholy ("Semper Dowland, semper dolens") there are also lively dances and works of limpid beauty here. Over four CDs you get the whole of Dowland's wonderful output for solo lute, and it makes a set to last a lifetime.
Lindberg plays the music superbly. Other excellent recordings exist by Paul O'Dette and Nigel North, but this remains my favourite Complete Dowland, possibly because it was the first I heard. Lindberg, to me at least, has a real empathy with the music and the excellent technique needed to express it well. These things are a matter of taste, of course, but given the astounding value represented by this reissue you can't go far wrong with this set. Very highly recommended.

I can't praise highly enough the service to the music world that Brilliant Classics is doing by issuing the complete works of both well-known and lesser-known masters. Brilliant is perhaps best known for its complete sets of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, each priced at a little over $100 for close to 100 CDs in each set.
I was previously familiar with the English Thomas Tallis (1505-1585), but not with the complete spectrum of his works, which is available in this set. Most of the works are Catholic Latin choral works, highly suggestive of the sublime master of sacred polyphony, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1514-1594), Tallis's Italian contemporary.
Palestrina remained completely Catholic, and wrote only for the Church. Tallis, as an Englishman, was caught up in that revolutionary period, when Henry VIII and his successors began introducing modified Church services in the early part of that period known as the Protestant Reformation. CD6 contains some of the music for these services, some in Latin and some in English. (English just doesn't cut it as a liturgical language; it always comes across as trite in comparison to the Latin.)
Some of Tallis's Latin settings almost equal the great Palestrina, such as "Spem in alium" for forty individual voices, which is perhaps the most familiar of Tallis's works. CD9 and CD10 contain Tallis's instrumental music, primarily on lute and harmonium, with some vocal airs.
The engineering is clear, as with all the Brilliant Classics sets, which are not reissues of older material, but new recordings. The 10-CD set is supplemented by a CD-ROM containing all linernotes and text of the vocal music. (Amazon Customer Review) [First added to this chart: 07/05/2014]
