Emerson String Quartet
TRACK LISTING BARTÓK: The 6 String Quartets 'Intense and passionate ... one of the most exciting chamber music recordings of recent years' Gramophone Immediately hailed upon its release on Deutsche Grammophon in 1988 as setting new standards in this virtuoso repertoire, the Emerson Quartet's epoch-making set of Bartók quartets uniquely won both Gramophone's Record of the Year Award (1989) in the UK and a Grammy for Best Classical Album (1990)
in the US. Awards for this recording: 1990: Grammy 1989: Gramophone record of the Year Award 'the only possible reaction, after hearing the Emerson Quartet playing Bartók, was a gulp. Perhaps a little rubbing of eyes and ears in disbelief was also permitted. For this was the perfect interpretation. The savage mingled with the subtle. Rampant power balanced a shining textural clarity. Uncannily precise rapport was abundant, yet a sense of mystery, too: a feeling that the players were tapping subconscious forces within themselves and us' The Times, March 1990 'compellingly intense and passionate...it is a pleasure to welcome the appearance of what must be one of the most exciting chamber music recordings of recent years.'

Vladimir Horowitz, piano
TRACK LISTING SCHUMANN: Kreisleriana, Op. 16 'One of the high points of his recording activity' Stereo Review Horowitz's return to the recording studios for Deutsche Grammophon in the mid-1980s after years of self-imposed absence was the recording event of the decade. The octogenarian pianist's playing had gained in intimacy but was as technically miraculous as ever. Gramophone wrote: 'His finger dexterity and ear for sonority are legendary still.' |

TRACK LISTING MAHLER: Symphony no. 5 ' Bernstein at his exciting best' Gramophone By general consent, Bernstein's Deutsche Grammophon recording of Mahler's kaleidoscopic Fifth Symphony - with its unforgettable Adagietto used in Visconti's film Death in Venice - is still unbeatable in terms of emotional heft.
