composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The golden age for recordings of Mozart's operas was the '50s and '60s. Even Così fan tutte, the last and least popular of his collaborations with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, received two superlative sets: Karajan and the Philharmonia's stylish 1954 EMI recording with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Nan Merriman, Rolando Panerai, Léopold Simoneau, Sesto ...

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 ...

composed by Antonin Dvorák, Claudio Monteverdi, Engelbert Humperdinck, Giacomo Carissimi, Richard Strauss

The rather odd sequence of events on this historical reissue results from the joining of several different performances from different times and places (although all were under the impresarioship of EMI executive Walter Legge). The Monteverdi, Carissimi, and Dvorák selections are taken from a recording made directly after a 1955 London recital, ...

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 ...

composed by Friedrich Holderlin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Karl Böhm's 1971 Deutsche Grammophon recording of Mozart's Requiem has long been regarded as the best, deepest, truest, and most Austrian recording of the work. With the Wiener Staatsopernchor and the Wiener Philharmoniker, plus soloists Edith Mathis, Julia Hamari, Wieslaw Ochman, and Karl Ridderbusch, Böhm created a fuliginously sorrowful, ...

composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

The best performances of Beethoven's Fidelio are those performances that force listeners out of themselves, out of their real lives and into better lives of deeper emotions and higher ideals, performances that force listeners to change their lives and become deeper, higher, better human beings. How it happened that some of the best performances of ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Is this arguably the greatest recorded performance of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg of all time? No, the conductor is probably too individualistic for some tastes and the Walter is surely too pathetic for most tastes. Is this Meistersinger nevertheless still well worth hearing by fans of Wagner's comedy who already know and love the work ...
