 | Gods, Kings & Demons (Opera Arias) [Read More ...]
Description: The eagerly awaited DG debut solo disc from René Pape has arrived! The reigning operatic bass of today, Pape has created an international fan base with his moving performances on every major operatic stage. Pape has appeared almost every season with the Metropolitan Opera since ... |
 | Mozart - Requiem / Augér, Bartoli, Cole, Pape, Wiener Phil., Solti [Read More ...]
Review: Pick of the litter....:To my great surprise, in the last two decades of his life Solti turned into a marvelous Mozart interpreter. His '80's Figaro, and '90's Magic Flute and Cosi fan Tutte are among my favorite versions, Sir Georg's sometimes abrasive nervous energy (and scholar... |
 | Beethoven - Triple Concerto ~ Choral Fantasy / Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Berliner Phil., Barenboim [Read More ...]
Review: No prescription needed -- now:After a horrendously exhausting day, I listened tonight to this recording, and found myself applauding at the end -- and then astonished that there was also applause on the CD! I had not realized it was a live recording. In the meantime, this care-... |
 | Wagner: Tristan und Isolde [Includes Bonus DVD] [Read More ...]
Description: This much awaited recording of Tristan was worth waiting for. The draw was, of course, Placido Domingo, who now in his mid 60s will never sing the role of Tristan on stage, but whose legions of fans have been certain that he'd make a remarkable go at it. He is indeed excellent, ... |
 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Complete Works [Box Set] [Read More ...]
170 CD set! |
 | Mein Herz Brennt: Based on Music of Rammstein [Read More ...]
Review: Only for the hardcore rammstein/symphonies fans:Well.... It's based on rammstein right? This cd will not be for most rammstein fans. Your best bet to to listen to the CD first before you decide to buy it. Trust me on this. If you like it, good for you! If not, I do not blame you.... |
 | Beethoven: Missa Solemnis / Varady, Vermillion, Cole, Pape; Solti [Read More ...]
Review: Super performance!!:Solti conducts an even faster version of the Missa Solemnis than his 1978 version with the CSO. I like this better than I expected. It's compelling and a worthwhile 'modern' version. While I also like Gardiner, I don't like Gardiner's small choir which produce... |
 | Mozart: Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) [Read More ...]
Description: This live Magic Flute is delightfully, lightly led by Claudio Abbado. Even the opera's darker moments---the scenes at the Temple, etc.---are treated nimbly; there's no hint of Otto Klemperer's approach to be found here. The Papageno is somewhat faceless, and while the Queen of t... |
 | Wagner's Tannhäuser: Complete Opera [Read More ...]
Description: This vividly recorded new Tannhäuser has much to recommend it. Daniel Barenboim's leadership not only keeps things moving so that the somewhat stilted drama actually takes wing, he elicits some of the most beautiful playing ever from the Berlin State Opera forces: lush string... |
 | Angels of Ecstasy / Heppner, Kasarova, Ozawa, Davis, Sweet [Read More ...]
True Masterpiece:This CD is a jewel of the world of music. If you close your eyes, you can picture yourself in a European cathedral during Midieval times. This CD guarantees relaxation and comfort. It shall bring with it, elegance and class to any home. Buy this CD. |
 | Masters of the Voice: Tenor [Read More ...]
Review: Some truly outstanding performances:This two CD set from Deutsche Grammophon does as it states: it offers some of the greatest tenors of our time in some truly outstanding performances. Thirty-seven arias all told, take a little getting used to as most "all tenor" recordings do. ... |
 | Schmidt: Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln [Read More ...]
| |
| Wagner's Tannhäuser: Complete Opera [Read More ...]
Description: This vividly recorded new Tannhäuser has much to recommend it. Daniel Barenboim's leadership not only keeps things moving so that the somewhat stilted drama actually takes wing, he elicits some of the most beautiful playing ever from the Berlin State Opera forces: lush string... |
 | The Mozart Album [Read More ...]
Description: This compendium of Mozart arias, duets and a trio, some of which have been released before (two of the Magic Flute arias, by Pape and Miklosa, come from the new, complete DG recording under Abbado), seems to have been built around the spectacular new superstar, Anna Netrebko. Sh... |
 | Beethoven: The Nine Symphonies - Barenboim / Berliner Staatskapelle [Read More ...]
Description: Beethoven has been a dominating presence in Daniel Barenboim's musical life, from his early years as a piano prodigy to his long-held international podium career. He recorded the piano sonatas twice and the concertos three times--as soloist with Otto Klemperer, as conductor accom... |
 | Haydn: Die Schöpfung (The Creation) [Read More ...]
Review: A Delightful *Creation*:Solti is not remembered as a major interpreter of 18th Century music, but he gave us some very fine Haydn toward the end of his career. In particular, this invigorating "live" account of *Creation*--sympathetically directed, superbly sung, and affectionat... |
 | Mendelssohn: Ein Sommernachtstraum/Die erste Walpurgisnacht [Read More ...]
Review: Mendelssoh's fantastic side, familiar and strange:
The catalog doesn't need a new version of Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream, but this one is sung and spoken in German (hence the use of Sommernachtstraum on the cover), which is rare. It's reminder that Mendelssohn was sett... |
 | BEETHOVEN BARENBOIM:BERLINER STAATSKAPELLE--SYMPHONY #9 (DVD) [Read More ...]
Not for the ACURA TL:Wish I had seen the review for this disc posted by jds20 and others before buying - It does not work with my Acura TL's system.. The system works fine and the Mehta / Israel Philharmonic DVD-A of Mahler's 2nd (purchased at the same time as this disc) sounds spectacular. |
 | Mozart: Litanies; Vespers; Oratorios; Cantatas; Masonic Music [Read More ...]
UNREAL!:yeah thats doesn't say much,
most of my reviews are long and longer...but her i have just one word on this set and the other philips 10 cd companion of Mozart's sacred music.
Unreal beauty. |
 | Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg [Read More ...]
Review: Wagner that you will remember:This is the only Die Meistersinger I have, so unlike the first reviewer, I can't compare to any other recording.
What I will tell you is this: you've got to be a complete grouch to dislike this Solti version. Solti wasn't magic to everything he touc... |
