composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Believe it or not, Herbert von Karajan, one of the most self-absorbed conductors of all time, was once a singer's conductor. While in many ways Karajan's self-absorption was a good thing for his conducting -- his obsessive quest for absolute purity of tone coupled with flawless ensemble did result in a career full of opulent recordings -- in his ...

performed by Elisabeth Höngen (mezzo-soprano), Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (soprano), Hans Hotter (bass), Julius Patzak (tenor), Wiener Singverein (choir, chorus), Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan (conductor)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Is this 1947 performance the best of Herbert von Karajan's recordings of Beethoven's Ninth? One could make that argument. After all, Karajan's 1983 Ninth is abhorrent in its narcissism, and his 1977 Ninth is abominable in its egotism. And while his 1963 Ninth is at best the acme of Karajan's super-refined mature style, and his 1955 Ninth is at ...

Issued in France by the Pathé-Marconi branch of EMI, this May 1958 recording of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, "Choral," by Carl Schuricht was one of the few stereo recordings made for the label's Beethoven symphonies cycle, yet it was ultimately released in mono for the budget Concert Classics set. Thankfully, this historic ...

composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The story goes that once, when Furtwängler was rehearsing with an Italian orchestra, his unsteady opening downbeat caused one of the musicians to call out sympathetically "Coraggio, maestro!" Whether or not it's apocryphal, the story's totally credible. Just listen to the opening chords of this 1949 recording of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte with Furtw ...

Profil's Richard Strauss: Scenes of Operas, which constitutes Vol. 18 in its Edition Staatskapelle Dresden series, documents one of the happiest collaborations between a composer and a conductor in history -- the relationship between Strauss and conductor Karl Böhm during the latter's tenure as conductor of the Dresden Semperoper, which lasted ...
