 | The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II [Read More ...]
The Most RElaxing Classical Albumn, Vol II.:The selections chosen are, for the most part, to my taste, but the volume is comprised of fewer supurb selections, such as those masterpieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart that were found in Vol. I. |
 | Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem [A German Requiem] [Read More ...]
Description: This account of the German Requiem really is one of the great recordings of the century. Even today, Otto Klemperer's monumental interpretation with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus, recorded in 1961, remains unmatched among readings that emphasize the spirituality of the sc... |
 | The Best Opera Album in the World...Ever! [Read More ...]
Review: Best Opera....:I'm not opera literate, so I was looking for some kind of introduction that had some familiar arias and that would connect me to others that I had not heard. I liked that the notes with the cd indicated where a new listener may have heard some of the music (in a co... |
 | The Opera Album [Read More ...]
Description: This is a remarkable collection: two and a half hours' worth of opera arias, duets, and a couple of choruses, and nary a dud among them. All the stars are here, from Alagna to Schwarzkopf, with stops at Gheorghiu, Callas, Bjoerling, Dessay, Gedda, Carreras, Popp, Domingo, Norma... |

 | Strauss: Four Last Songs/12 Orchestral Songs [Read More ...]
Description: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was one of those singers whom one either loves or hates. She was a "stylist," who inflected every phrase, every note in her urge to communicate what she considered to be the meaning of the text. Others feel that the only thing she communicated was her ow... |
 | 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. |
 | Mozart: Don Giovanni [Read More ...]
Review: The most overrated recording in history:With the multitude of Don Giovannis out there, one might be tempted to buy this one, seeing as to the fact that it has consistently been praised. While it is perhaps the best 'classic' recording out there other than the 1936 one with Busch... |

Review: fantastic introduction to opera:this really is an amazing set. rarely are compilation sets filled with such consistently good music as well as offering the breadth and diversity found here. also, this is THE introduction to opera, as far as i'm concerned. if you don't enjoy opera... |
 | Mozart: Die Zauberflote [Read More ...]
Review: At the top of the pile:This is recording contains out-of-this-world performances by all the cast, but I know that the greatest measurement used in assessing recordings is "does it contain a good Queen of the Night?" And the answer that I give is: Lucia Popp was made by God spefic... |
 | Mozart: Don Giovanni, K527 [Read More ...]
Artistry:The sound quality is nothing like what we are used to today, even with over-compressed CDs. But the artistry of the musicians is marvelous. |
 | 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.

Description: This most serious and studious of German sopranos has a grand time--with no hint of condescension--in this collection of Viennese operetta arias, treating them with a meticulous musicality they rarely receive. In fact, lots of this music written by now-obscure names such as Heu... |
 | Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 [Read More ...]
Review: The REAL Bayreuth Ninth!:In 1960, I purchased my first Beethoven Ninth, the 1951 Furtwaengler/Bayreuth recording on German Electrola. It was also my first exposure to the supreme Beethoven conductor. Since then, I have acquired many other Ninths, including the 1942 Furtwaengler B... |
 | Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) - Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Anna Moffo, Giuseppe Taddei, Carlo Maria Giulini, Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus [Read More ...]
Review: What was that?....Still a quality Figaro.:I am a great lover of opera, and EMI's new releases seem a good value. I love "The Marriage of Figaro", and I jumped to buy this product. I am thoroughly impressed with this production. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is the best Countess I have ev... |
 | Sacred Classics - Messiah, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Zadok the Priest, L'enfance du Christ [Read More ...]
Review: A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works:This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pi... |

Throughout the rehearsal period, Mozart and libr... |
 | Lehár - The Merry Widow / Schwarzkopf, Wächter, Steffek, Gedda, Knapp, von Matacic [Read More ...]
Review: I wish I'd read the Amazon reviews more carefully:I wish I'd read the Amazon reviews more carefully before buying this, particularly "A terrible abridgement". This recording may have sonic and vocal performance virtues, but the third act in particular has been hacked to incompreh... |
 | Schubert: 24 Lieder [Read More ...]
Review: The Schwarzkopf-Fischer pairing is incomparable:Although everything here represents Schwarzkopf in best form, it's her partnership with Edwin Fischer, in close, dry mono sound, that hasn't been out of the catalog for fifty years. The reason is that no more inspired Schubert recit... |
