composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

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 ...

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.

So how come Haydn, who wrote six -- count 'em, six -- masses at the end of his life, and how many ...

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 ...

The nearest nineteenth century equivalent to American college students' semesters in Europe was the Grand Tour, a trip to the Mediterranean countries to see the glories of Renaissance cultures undertaken by well-educated 20-somethings from bourgeois England and other northern countries. And at the center of the Grand Tour was Venice, a living ...

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 ...

Teldec's 1983 recording of Dido and Aeneas features Nikolaus Harnoncourt leading the Arnold Schoenberg Choir and Concentus Musicus Wein, two exceptionally accomplished ensembles.
