composed by Franz Joseph Haydn

Bach wrote a mass at the end of his life, and everybody knows it's one of the supreme sacred works in all western music. Mozart wrote a requiem at the end of his life, and everybody knows it's one of the supreme sacred works in all western music. So how come Haydn, who wrote six -- count 'em, six -- masses at the end of his life, and how many ...

composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Like those of his predecessor Franz Josef Haydn, the British folk song settings of Ludwig van Beethoven are an underappreciated corner of his output. Commissioned by Scotsman George Thomson for publication as parlor music, they present a simple, rustic face that hides a deceptively clever and often technically demanding musical texture. Indeed, ...

composed by Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Maria Ruggieri

What can anyone add to the praise that has deservedly been heaped on Robert King and the King's Consort's 11 discs of the complete sacred music of Vivaldi? Can one add that every single performance is first class -- wonderfully musical, deeply dedicated, and profoundly spiritual? Can one add that every single performer is first class -- absolutely ...

composed by Francis Poulenc, Franz Schubert, Hector Berlioz, Jacques Offenbach, Johannes Brahms, Maurice Ravel, Richard Wagner

This is a fine introduction to Jessye Norman's work and expands on a couple of her earlier "best of" releases, but even so, it represents a limited portion of her wide repertoire. The first disc is all German Romantic works, beginning with scenes from Wagner that she recorded in the late '80s with the London Philharmonic and Klaus Tennstedt. The ...

performed by Ann Murray (mezzo-soprano), Graham Johnson (piano)
composed by Franz Schubert

The third volume of Graham Johnson's Schubert edition just gets better and better. Of course, he gets off to a good start merely by having mezzo soprano Ann Murray as the vocalist: Murray has an incredibly beautiful voice -- lushly rounded and warm toned -- and her interpretations of the song repertoire have been among the sweetest and deepest of ...

London Philharmonic Orchestra 75th Anniversary, Vol. 3: 1983-2007 (2007) more music like this

composed by Anton Bruckner, Dmitry Shostakovich, Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Strauss, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Though there are good points to all three sets, probably the best of the three volumes of the London Philharmonic's 75th Anniversary edition is the third. For one thing, the choice of repertoire is stronger: instead of the first volume's excerpts and shorter works or the second volume's predominantly English fare, the third volume features mostly ...
