[GuyK]

Paganini - Concerto No.4 in D minor for Violin and Orchestra
Arthur Grumiaux, violin
Orchestre des Concerts Lamoureux
Epic, 1954

This piece just strikes me as a vehicle to allow someone to show off. It appears to allow for virtuosity in abundance, yet seems to be very shallow.

 

[GuyK]

Holst - The Planets, Op.32
Vienna Philharmonic
H.von Karajan
London Records, 1961

I think this is the piece that was the first to make me sit and actually listen, and try to understand a piece of symphonic music, way back when I was a youngster. Don't know why that just came to mind.
