Westminster Legacy Vol.1 - Chamber Music - Box Set 59CDs
Label : Westminster
Format : Flac (image + cue)
Cover : Yes
If you're a lover of chamber music then you can't do any better than this amazing 59 CD set. The overall price is steep but it averages out to be less than $5 per CD. Couple that with the truly legendary performances offered here and you have an incredible bargain that will not be around for long. The Westminster record label (1949-1965) was justly famous for it's "Natural Balance" recorded sound which was primarily the combined effort of producer Dr. Kurt List and engineer Karl Wohlleitner. Centered in Vienna, they had access to some of the finest chamber musicians in the world through the city's various orchestras. They were also able to spot up and coming talent like conductor-pianist Daniel Barenboim and guitarist/lutenist Julian Bream. During the 1950s they were unrivalled in their chamber music output both in quantity and quality. This set, manufactured in Korea, contains several of those performances.

Itzhak Perlman - Complete DG Recordings - Box Set 25CDs
Label : DG
Format : Flac track
Cover : Yes
With this original jackets’ box set Deutsche Grammophon celebrates the 70th birthday of Itzhak Perlman (31 August 2015). Between 1968 and 2001 he recorded 25 albums for DG and Decca – many of them classics – partnered by some of the greatest artists of his time. With new liner notes, a reminiscence by Itzhak Perlman himself and recording sessions’ photos, this set makes a fitting tribute to a great artist.
He made his début on the Yellow Label with the much acclaimed Berg / Stravinsky Concerto coupling (with Ozawa) and won new fans for the Elgar Violin Concerto (with Barenboim) in the 1980s. Concerto recordings of Saint-Saëns and Wieniawski, Lalo, a 'favourites' CD and The Four Seasons with Perlman playing “Winter” also form part of the discography.
