1.		Beethoven: The Piano Concertos by Vladimir Ashkenazy Chicago Symphony Orchestra Georg Solti Price: £10.97 Customer Review: Vladimir Ashkenazy must rank as one of the greatest pianists of the modern era. His blend of flawless technique and sensitive interpretation marks him out as being uniquely placed to deliver as near to definitive performances as it is possible to get.

2.		The Alban Berg Collection by Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Price: £25.98 Customer Review: Alban Berg (1885-1935) Discover this world of beauty and love , horror , death and defiance . I first heard and then studied this man's music in my early twenties , and I fell in love.

Great Violinists - Milstein by Chicago Symphony Orchestra Price: £4.99 Customer Review: Arguably the world's finest violinist, Milstein recorded these works in 1940s and we are privileged to be able to listen to them today.

5.		The Very Best of Jaqueline du Pré by London Symphony Orchestra Price: £10.47 Customer Review: A good 3 CD set of some of Jaqueline's greatest recordings, but far better purchased on the more recent, and far more comprehensive, 17 CD collection on the EMI Classics label which offers all these recordings plus many, many more so is obviously a more cost effective purchase.

7.		Bartók - Orchestral Works by Chicago Symphony Orchestra Price: £6.47 Customer Review: I was a tad sceptical with the fulsome praise this recording and other releases of Living Stereo recordings had receieved. I needed a replacement for the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, a recording of which I had owned years ago, from Deutsch Gramaphon (and very good). Let's face it these... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Bartok: The Orchestral Masterpieces by Chicago Symphony Orchestra Georg Solti Price: £8.98 Customer Review: I came to these pieces from the string quartets expecting music of similar difficulty, but it would seem that Bartok reserved the quartet as his most experimental medium. All of these pieces are filled with beauty, colour and excitement. Nothing on the first disc is difficult music. Though... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
