Nice choice. I got to see her and her father (before he died) play together in concert....
Fantastic; just fantastic....I have that very CD.....
Oh, that is brilliant; love Smetana's "Die Moldau" - beautiful, just beautiful......
Living Stereo series. Some tracks are stereo, others triphonic, recorded in 1955 or 1958, as shown in the picture. I have the EU version.
Great choice.
I am still a bit cool on Dohnányi. But that is just me.
Have you ever listened to the full cycle of Má vlast?
Gorgeousness from start to finish.

…Vltava (aka Die Moldau)

Bartók - Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta — another favourite.

I first heard this when Kubrick used it in The Shining.
Such eeriness.

In my local bookstore I recently spotted a CD of the full cycle performed as a piano duo. I admit to being deeply tempted but suspect I should absorb the full piece in its symphonic form first; nevertheless, you may find it worthwhile at least sampling its tracks. I'd be curious the thoughts of anyone more familiar with this piece:

Yes, I did.
Not only that, I have an "old" (from the late 80s - still in the Soviet era) double album (LP) recording of Ma Vlast.
