Classical Court From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here. |

for me, personally, is that my first ever classical record was Reiner Beethoven 5, but (after that) it was Solti/Ashkenazy Beethoven Piano Concertos. The B5 was fairly familiar music at my ripe old age of 12, but the Piano Concertos were unknown to me. The B5 was an "experiment" for a non-musical kid more attuned to radio pop at the time, but the BPC's were a KEY that opened up...everything.
And, so, Ashkenazy is buried in my soul as deeply as any artist, interpretive or technical limitations (not many) be damned. I am sure that many individual CD's will be duplicated by the forthcoming big box, but I just don't care!:-)
