Notes -
Bach - pretty much everything, but the catalog #1052 keyboard concerto stands above the rest. Glenn Gould is a wonderful choice here.
Mozart - Sonata #8, symphonies #25 and 40. Probably anything else he composed in minor key is brilliant too.
Beethoven’s violin and third piano concertos. Appassionata. Symphonies 5 and 7.
Schubert’s Death and the Maiden.
Chopin’s first piano concerto.
Grieg’s piano concerto.
Dvorak’s cello concerto.
Sibelius’s violin concerto. You want Oistrakh’s recording.
Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto.
Shostakovich’s 5th symphony.
Sviridov’s Snowstorm suite.
