 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | Frédéric Chopin: Piano Works [Read More ...]
Review: Why can't today's pianists play Chopin like this?:It's beyond the scope of this review (not to mention the time I have) to discuss all the works here, or even all of the many highlights. Suffice it to say, as a whole, this is some of the most expressive Chopin playing ever put t... |

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... |

 | Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 1-7 [Read More ...]
Review: Epic and introspection! :To state Sibelius was the last epic composer perhaps may be sound exaggerate, but listening carefully his odd Symphonies, one may feel such steeled conviction fevered lyricism that sharply contrasts with the enraptured introspection of his even symphonies... |

Review: 7 CDs, 10 Hours of Music - Complete Aural Pleasure!:Take EMI Classics, one of the premier record labels in the world, mix in great composers like Wagner, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky, add the 20th century's greatest conductors like Furtwangler, Beecham, and Klemperer, and you have nin... |
 | The Prima Voce Treasury of Opera, Vol. 2 [Read More ...]
Review: Fabulous!:This is an amazing collection of arias from the early 1900s through the 1930s (there is one 1942 cut). The sound transfers, made from pristine 78 records, are excellent, especially considering the age of the recordings. This CD is a splendid overview of the outstandin... |
 | Arthur Rubinstein plays Chopin [Box Set] [Read More ...]
Review: THE GREATEST OF CHOPIN PIANISTS:These are the earlier discs of Rubinstein's Chopin, recorded by HMV in London during the 1930's. It is less complete than his later recordings for RCA - no Sonatas, no Ballades, no Etudes. The sound is naturally of its time - but in many ways mor... |

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,... |

Description: Culled from New York Philharmonic broadcasts spanning 75 years, this remarkable 10-disc compilation testifies to the strong-willed yet chameleon-like orchestra's virtuosity and versatility under a diverse assemblage of podium personalities. Stylistically speaking, the earlier ite... |
 | Rubinstein Collection, Vol. 9 [Read More ...]
Review: Rubinstein's First Time Around:Volume 9 of RCA's complete Rubinstein Collection contains the pianist's first recordings of three concertos from his substantial repertoire. W. A. Mozart's Piano Concerto, K. 488 was no newcomer to Rubinstein's repertoire when he recorded it in 193... |
 | Rubinstein Collection, Vol. 5 [Read More ...]
Review: Dazzling & Poetic Chopin from the 1930s Rubinstein:For those who know Rubinstein's Chopin only from his stereo recordings, this 2-CD set of Concertos and Nocturnes will come as something of a shock. Rubinstein made three official recordings of the E minor Concerto, and four o... |

Review: Interesting representation of the singer:Eva Turner was condemned to be remembered as a one role singer; the role of Turrandot. Her artistry went far beyond that. She was a slow starter in many ways, and it took a considerable amount of time for major houses outside Italy to noti... |
