composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Sawallisch's 1973 Die Zauberflöte is a fully satisfying version of the opera; it features superb soloists and exemplary playing and singing by the orchestra and chorus of the Bavarian State Opera. All of the performers very clearly have this music in their blood and are absolutely convincing in putting it across. Sawallisch has both the ...

composed by Richard Strauss

Although it might seem reasonable to prefer Carlos Kleiber's later 1994 recording of Der Rosenkavalier for Deutsche Grammophon -- after all, it has the Felicity Lott, Anne Sofie von Otter, Barbara Bonney, and Kurt Moll, plus the Weiner Philharmoniker and first-class DG sound -- there are still compelling reasons to hear his earlier 1974 recording. ...

Georg Friedrich Händel: Alcina [SACD] (2007) more music like this

composed by George Frederick Handel

The quality of the vocal performances in this live recording of Alcina can be strongly correlated to the singers' prior experience in the Baroque repertoire. Contralto Sonia Prina, with a solid background in Baroque opera, is absolutely stellar in the role of Bradamante, a woman impersonating a man in her quest to release her lover from the spells ...

composed by Richard Strauss

This is not Erich Kleiber's classic Decca recording of Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier taped in the studio with the Wiener Philharmoniker in 1955 with Sena Jurinac, Hilde Gueden, Anton Dermota, Ludwig Weber, and the matchless Maria Reining as the Feldmarschallin. This is Kleiber's 1952 Rosenkavalier taped live with the Bayerischen Staatsorchester with ...

Bruno Walter, the great Jewish conductor, didn't leave his job as the music director of the Munich Opera because he wasn't an artistic and financial success in the Bavarian capital. With his highly regarded and well-attended performances of Mozart and Wagner, plus a host of triumphant world premieres, Walter was certainly a success in what one ...

composed by Giuseppe Verdi

Carlos Kleiber's 1977 La Traviata is a rare gestalt among studio opera recordings, and it is one of the conductor's finer achievements. Kleiber knits the score together with unwavering rhythmic and dramatic intensity, never allowing any single moment to eclipse the larger scene or musical structure. The singers are kept on a tight leash -- given ...

performed by Bavarian State Opera Orchestra, Kent Nagano (conductor)
composed by Anton Bruckner

As more conductors release recordings of the original versions of Anton Bruckner's symphonies, it appears that the composer's wish to have them become the standard editions is at last being fulfilled, well over a century after his death. Certainly, the Symphony No. 4 in E flat major, "Romantic," has been most frequently performed in the critical ...
