Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (1993) more music like this

performed by Blanche Thebom (vocals), Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (vocals), Edgar Evans (vocals), Josef Greindl (vocals), Kirsten Flagstad (vocals), Ludwig Suthaus (vocals), Rhoderick Davies (vocals), Rudolf Schock (vocals)
composed by Richard Wagner

Wilhelm Furtwängler's 1952 EMI recording of Tristan und Isolde with the Philharmonia Orchestra is a gold standard among recordings of the opera. The integrity of his vision and his command of the opera's large structural elements make this a version that is widely admired by listeners who love the opera. Although his reading is never rushed, and ...

This is it -- the pressing and the packaging you've been waiting for in a Clemens Krauss Ring. Old-timers know that, along with one of the other of the Furtwängler's, the Krauss Ring is the pre-stereo recording of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen to hear. Taped at the 1953 Bayreuth Festival, the Krauss Ring has fabulous singing from some of the ...

performed by Elisabeth Schartel (mezzo-soprano), Josef Greindl (bass), Bayreuth Festival Choir (choir, chorus), Bayreuth Festival Orchestra, Wilhelm Pitz (conductor)
composed by Richard Wagner

It wasn't often that Wilhelm Pitz, the chorus master at Wagner's Bayreuth, got a shot at making a disc on his own, and this 1958 recording of Wagner choruses is one of his very, very few. But so masterful, so confident, so profoundly sympathetic is his conducting here that even if this one disc was all he'd ever recorded under his own name, Pitz's ...

composed by Gioachino Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi

This budget two-disc set, combining a 1994 British recording of Verdi's Requiem mass with a 1960 Rossini Stabat Mater, might seem to be one of those random bargain-bin releases that does nothing but degrade the value of concert music. In the event, however, the two performances hang together in interesting ways, and while no one would pick these ...

composed by Alban Berg

While there is much for fans of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau to admire in this set of both the operas of Alban Berg, it is impossible to recommend these recordings. Fischer-Dieskau is a commanding presence in Wozzeck: powerfully sung and deeply affecting, his portrayal of the doomed everyman still stands with the best ever recorded. And Fischer ...

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 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Ferenc Fricsay's The Magic Flute from 1955 is one of the first great recordings of the work, and it remains a compelling listen today. Rita Streich's Queen of the Night can be considered one of the best ever: crystal clear in tone, fiery in mood, and rock solid on the all-important high notes. A 30-year-old Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau makes an ...
