 | Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann [Read More ...]
Description: During her far-too-brief career, cellist Jacqueline du Pré exhibited an almost oracular power of communication. Her performances bristled with the kind of brilliant electricity that could change lives and convert listeners to a lifelong love of music. Happily, it's possible to e... |
 | Beethoven: The Complete Symphonies and Piano Concertos [Read More ...]
Description: Otto Klemperer's Beethoven is one of the towering achievements in the history of recordings. By today's standards, these performances are hopelessly old-fashioned: dark, heavy, and frequently very slow. But they are also the grandest, most unsentimental, most purposeful versions ... |
 | Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music [Read More ...]
Review: This box selection is enjoyable:Cheers to those with drive to attain "real" music student status. However, I just want to listen to music passages I have found enjoyable over the years. There is no pretense of this selection being a student workbook of classical music for the s... |
 | Verdi - Aida / Caballé · Domingo · Cossotto · Ghiaurov · Cappuccilli · Roni · NPO · Muti [Read More ...]
Description: Behind the pyramids and the elephants, the long lines of prisoners of war and of slaves carrying booty, the choral shouts of "Glory to Egypt," and the splendid brass sounding the Triumphal March, Aida is the story of a love triangle: Aida, an Ethiopian princess who has become a s... |
 | Beethoven: The Complete Piano Sonatas & Concertos [Read More ...]
Description: Claudio Arrau played with seriousness of purpose that could make other pianists seem like dilettantes and with respect for the composer's score that bordered on veneration. He had nothing but scorn for pianists who played the opening of Beethoven's Opus 111 with two hands instead... |
 | Mozart: Così fan tutte [Read More ...]
The best:I must only shortly state that this must be the best recording ever made of this opera. It is the best, it is a musical wonder. |
 | Vaughan Williams, The Complete Symphonies [Read More ...]
Description: Adrian Boult's credentials in this repertoire are unassailable, and to have nearly all his stereo Vaughan Williams recordings for EMI so elegantly packaged and enticingly priced will be incentive enough for many a prospective purchaser. There's much to treasure here, not least th... |
 | Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier / Schwarzkopf · Ludwig · Karajan [Read More ...]
Review: Among The Better:This is surely among the better Rosenkavalier recordings. In its day it had no equal. Can Christa Ludwig ever do wrong? I don't think so. She is sublime as is Karajan. A young Nicolai Gedda is a treat. My problem is Stitch-Randall with that annoying vibrato.

 | Thomas: Mignon [Read More ...]
Review: Horne and Welting Together.... Amazing and Inspiring!:This recording, the only complete Mignon is without a doubt, the finest available. Marilyn Horne as Mignon is the astonishing Horne, as she always is. Ruth Welting is always supreme, and in this recording, one of a handful o... |
 | Michael Rabin, 1936-1972 [Read More ...]
Review: In presence of a giant of violin!:In 1972, with just 36 years of fertile and creative existence, thanks to a brilliant and promissory career as virtuosi and sensitive musician, the fate decided for Michael Rabin, he walked other paths.
His level of interpretative excellence, dic... |
![]() | The Top 100 Masterpieces of Classical Music (Box Set) [Read More ...]
Review: It is the best collection of classic masterpieces.:I had this collection and lost it in 2000 when moving to a new house. I took me a time to find it but after having it again I can say it is the most valuable selection of classic music, it is truly the 100 top masterpieces and t... |
 | Delibes: The 3 Ballets [Read More ...]
Delibes: 3 ballets:I bought this set because of the very favorable review in Penguin, and have not been disappointed.

 | Puccini - Il Trittico / Alagna, Gheorghiu, Guelfi, Guleghina, Gallardo-Domás, Manca di Nissa, Palmer, Shicoff, van Dam, LSO, PO, Pappano [Read More ...]
Description: Aficionados are familiar with Puccini's Il Trittico or "Triptych," his three one-act operas that premiered at New York's Metropolitan in 1918; everyday opera lovers should know them as well. Here is Puccini at his most imaginative: Il Tabarro, a shocker about the jealousy of an o... |

 | Songs Of Spain / De Los Angeles, et al [Read More ...]
Review: The most noble voice:Victoria de los Angeles' voice not only has a silken quality and fascinating glow to it but it is one of the most regal, noble sounds you'll ever hear. She illuminated those moments of quietness, gentleness and noble, feminine pride and elegance like no other... |
 | The Great Violin Concertos [Read More ...]
Review: Playing the right notes, in Baroque music, will get you 10% there:I recently heard "Concerto For Two Violins In D Minor" from this recording on the radio. I was very disappointed. The technique and tone quality and all of that was fine, but the interpretation was quite off. I ... |

 | Jacqueline du Pré - The Concerto Collection [Read More ...]
Review: The fallen angel of the cello!:
This year, Jacqueline du Prè should be it her 62, but as you know the cruel fate was a undesirable barrier that took over the world one of the maxim exponents of this instrument.
Jacqueline was born blessed by the touch of genius. Her vibrant per... |
 | Les introuvables de Jacqueline du Pré [Read More ...]
Description: Although most of this set is devoted to major cello concertos (Elgar, Saint-Saëns, Dvorák, Schumann, Haydn) that Du Pré played so well, perhaps the most treasurable recording is one of two Beethoven cello sonatas with the pianist Stephen Bishop (Kovacevich). Recorded very e... |
 | Mahler: Rückert Lieder; Das Lied von der Erde [Read More ...]
Review: The Paul Kletzki Das Lied von der Erde:Review of Paul Kletzki's interpretation of Das lied von der Erde.
The alternate take of Das Lied von der Erde, which uses a baritone instead of a mezzo (together with the usual tenor), has few recorded incarnations. This CD twofer, however,... |
