Must-hear music

Wednesday, 7th January 2009

From Glenn Gould to Peter Pears and Maria Callas: the indefatigable Terry Teachout presents his list of 25 essential classical recordings. In a way, it's also an elegy for the music industry of old:

It may well be that performances of comparable quality and individuality continue to be given today, but if so, they will go unheard by the music lovers of tomorrow, for with rare exceptions they are not being recorded.
Btw, I'm glad to see one of his co-bloggers at "About Last Night" has discovered the wonders of Jobim's song "Águas de Março." Elis Regina works her magic once again.
