The recording is old, but totally up to high ECM standards. I once saw a phenomenal modern ballet set to this music (Fratres) and heard a rare live performance of Tabula Rasa, both in Amsterdam.
What are the 10 must-have classical recordings?

Actually, I was going to substitute the ECM for the Tasmin Little/Richard Studt/Robert Aldwinckle on EMI, which I also really love. I consider it the equal of the Kremer/Gridenko/Schnittke in many respects, but it's great to have both.
The link doesn't work for me (??), but yes, it's the 1965 recording with Klara Korkan and Konstantin Ognevoi.
Thanks. I'll have to pick up a copy of this recording that I was not familiar with.
Hey edorr,
It's been re-released by Warners, though also available on EMI pre-buyout. Contains "Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten" and a great version of "Fratres" (of which the CD has been retitled). Available on Amazon, iTunes and Spotify, believe it or not.

Seems like it is not available on Amazon anymore. Any suggestions how I could get my hands on a full resolution 44/16 version?
http://www.amazon.com/Arvo-Part-Fra...coe+•+Richard+Studt+•+Bournemouth+Sinfonietta
I see it on UK Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pärt-Fratres-Bournemouth-Sinfonietta/dp/B000005GQC
Let me keep looking for US site. I could swear I found it yesterday....
Sorry, edorr, I go straight through to the UK site, but have found this here below (a double CD with Brahms & Sibelius). Disc 2 is the complete re-release of the original EMI disc:
http://www.amazon.com/Tasmin-Little...qid=1446652207&sr=1-17&keywords=tasmin+little
Yes, I think that's it too. As far as I know Tasmin Little has only ever recorded one version with Studt and the Bournemouth Sinfonietta, so I'm guessing it's now been licenced via multiple labels.
OK, I found the download from Pono: https://www.ponomusic.com/ccrz__CCP...&artistId=of:cf98bbdfc2434844b02e63289894cd90
It is just $10!

Nobody mentionned Peer Gynt of Edvard Grieg and Bolero of Maurice Ravel ??
My favourite Peer Gynt is performed by Bergen Orchestra conducted by Ole Kristian Ruud. Bolero is a must have in every classical selection IMO.
Being Polish Chopin plays directly in my soul, I can only mention Rubinstein and Zimmerman as two of my favourite pianists. One more thing- outstanding audiophile SQ - 2 discs sacd album from Stockfish " Nocturnes" by Gergely Boganyi, another must have.
If I may recommend one more outstanding recording it would be XRCD by JVC album of Rossini Overtures under Pierino Gamba , a young-genius conductor who was only 23 years old when album was recorded. Mastered by Alan Yoshida. Fire!

If this is what we are talking about, it is mighty fine music!
And if it includes this:
I get to finally learn the name of a track I have heard many times!
I can recommend Arvo Part's Frates by Gidon Kremer/ Keith Jarrett

Oh, that was already in my Pono cart from yesterday!!!
At least I think it is. The last track is 10 minutes shorter! https://www.ponomusic.com/ccrz__CCP...f:c056736c3a194c7fa5d4ea34554020ab&type=Album
And Ponomusic has zero metdata to see anything other than track list. Boo
Looks like Pono's quality control is rivaling HD Tracks!
Ridiculous, you can buy the CD at the same price.
Probably while ripping you get the right meta data in the process
I am spending money as fast as I canYou see, it' s a real beauty
Get Rossini , you won' t be desappointed.
. Takes me a while to search multiple places and triangulate which performance it is. Found this one on Pono which is nearly one third the price of Amazon XRCD: https://www.ponomusic.com/ccrz__CCP...&artistId=of:eb76b1b032f04e4483b855fa59518638
Here is the Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Rossini-Overtures-Gioacchino/dp/B00067RF50
The darn MP3 is just $5.
