performed by Roberto Alagna (tenor), Thomas Hampson (baritone), London Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), London Symphony Orchestra, Antonio Pappano (conductor)
composed by Giacomo Puccini

Rare is the album that features works by Puccini that do not include anything selected from his operas. Indeed, this compact disc showcases three works that may be unfamiliar to lovers of La bohème. The first work featured, Preludio Sinfonico, was completed when the composer was just 18 years of age, and bears distinction as Puccini's premiere ...

performed by Adolph Herseth (trumpet), Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano), London Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus)
composed by Sergey Prokofiev

In an early "Peanuts" strip, Charlie Brown says to Schroeder that the music they're listening to is "the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard," to which Schroeder crushingly replies "uh huh...It is kind of nice now and then to listen to something semi-classical." One wonders if they were listening to Prokofiev, a composer capable of ...

Beethoven's nine symphonies -- what can one say? The greatest body of orchestral works ever composed? Probably. The most performed body of orchestral works ever composed? Certainly.
