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 Richard Strauss

Decca's Elektra is a remarkable account of the opera. Recorded in 1968, produced by John Culshaw with an all-star cast, this performance captures the opera's brutality and atmosphere of nearly uninterrupted hysteria. Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the great Strauss orchestras, in a searing reading of the frenzied score. Solti ...

composed by Gustav Mahler

Anyone who became aware of Gustav Mahler's symphonies in the late '60s and 1970s surely knows of the many impressive recordings Georg Solti made for Decca, and likely remembers that they were held in high regard for their remarkable clarity, energetic playing, and overwhelming emotional expression. This 1966 recording of the Symphony No. 2 in C ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

Little on the outside packaging of this album, other than the names of the soloists, tells the buyer that the music was originally recorded in 1971. First released by the Vanguard label, the performance was well done in the first place and has had a durable life in budget reissues. The buyer should know what he or she is getting -- a thoroughly ...

composed by Arthur Sullivan

Malcolm Sargent began serving as an accompanist for amateur productions of Gilbert & Sullivan when he was 14, was musical director for the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company from 1926 to 1928, and made complete recordings of several of the operettas with the company, so he clearly had the Gilbert & Sullivan tradition in his blood. During the late '50s and ...

composed by Edward Elgar, Spoken Word

Anybody who loves the orchestral music of English composer Edward Elgar -- the brilliant Enigma Variations, the passionate Violin Concerto, the heartrending Cello Concerto, the magnificent symphonies, the spectacular overtures, and the virtuosic Bach and Handel transcriptions -- will sooner or later have to deal with his three sacred oratorios: ...

composed by Benjamin Britten

This second volume completes Decca's compact reissue of Britten conducting his own operas. As with the first volume, it is a self-recommending testament to the synergy of Britten's talents as a composer and conductor, and his continuing preeminence as a recorded interpreter of his own music. Because Britten never completed recordings of his Death ...
