Schubert: Lieder more music like this

performed by Geoffrey Parsons (piano), Gerald Moore (piano), Janet Baker (mezzo-soprano)
composed by Franz Schubert

There is no denying Janet Baker's artistry. The English mezzo soprano always sounds as if she understands everything in the texts and music she sings. In the case of this two-disc set of 42 of Schubert's lieder, that's quite a bit, ranging from the insouciant cheerfulness of Heidenroslein to the tender soulfulness of the Mignon songs to the sexual ...

If you are only ever going to have one collection of the orchestral works of Edward Elgar, let it be this collection led by John Barbirolli.

The performances on this two-CD budget-price set from EMI are classics of the English choral sound, but the music included is a bit of a mishmash. The Choir of King's College, Cambridge, with its 16 adult male and boy choristers, recorded often during the directorship of Sir David Willcocks, and this set includes selections from their several Bach ...

composed by Benjamin Britten

Benjamin Britten's recordings of his own operas are definitive -- cutting out the interpretive middle man and going straight to the heart of every bar, every scene. For sure, there are better sounding, and in many cases better sung, recordings to be had, especially of the popular works like Peter Grimes and Billy Budd; but none of them are as ...

composed by Edward Elgar

For EMI, the label that had already made a series of ever more opulent and magnificent recordings of Elgar's oratorio The Dream of Gerontius, the temptation to try again in 1986 must have been irresistible. Mezzo-soprano Janet Baker, who starred in Barbirolli's 1964 recording, was still professionally active in 1986, and so were fellow veterans ...

composed by Antonin Dvorák, Carl Maria von Weber, Claude Debussy, Cristobal Halffter, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Gabriel Fauré, Gerald Moore, Gioachino Rossini, Gustav Mahler, Hugo Wolf, Joaquin Nin, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms

This album is two re-releases in one: the live recording of Gerald Moore's retirement "party" in 1967 (a live recital in London's Festival Hall) and the tribute LP EMI released in 1969. Both are worthy celebrations of the finest collaborative pianist of the twentieth century, made even better by being combined into one package. That this album ...
