Beethoven triple recording suggestions?
I have a pretty good version from
Serkin-Laredo-Parnas, the famous Richter-Oistrach-Rostropovich which
has some surprisingly delicate and charming playing from
Rostropovich but oddly dissapointing from the other two, and a
really not very good Istomin-Stern-Rose.
Wondering what else
I should listen to- any suggestions? TIA.

Gary & I agree that our favorite
is the Hendl-Corigliano-Rose version, now available as part of
Sony's "Bruno Walter Edition." Well, it's not my favorite overall
(which is Beaux Arts/Haitink), but it's just about the best
rendition of the cello part. I agree Rose's later effort is
disappointing.

I bought the one with Mutter and Ma
- can't remember the pianist. I ended up giving it away. The
recording levels were such that one can't hear the soloists without
turning up the volume to ear splitting levels for the tutti
sections. I hate that! I do like the Rostro/Oistrah/Richter.

A must

A must - and easy to find -
recording is Barenboim, Perlmann and Ma with the Berliner
Philarmoniker LIVE !
It's simply incredible.

I kind of liked the
Ma-Mutter-Zeltser recording except for one thing, which Rose said
too... you can't tell who the violinist and who the cellist
is.
But at the time, I was going through my "Cellists should
sound just as good as violinists" phase where the more a cellist
could sound as agile and nimble as a really good violinist, the
better.
Ma does some great technical playing but the sound
really isn't that cello-like.
I agree with the assessments
of the other recordings with Slava and Rose.
I've yet to hear
the Live one with Ma.

I'm probably biased, but I don't
like the lastest Ma version with Perlman and Barenboim. I find Ma's
playing very "affected"...with non-vibrated phrases that are either
in 'homage', perhaps, to "historically-informed" performance
practice, or are the suggestion of a certain conductor who shall
remain nameless; you know, the same conductor who insists that the
first 2 measures of the Offertory of the Verdi Requiem be played on
one L O N G and excrutiatingly painful up-bow.
