Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (1958) more music like this

composed by Gioachino Rossini

EMI's 1957 Il barbiere di Siviglia remains near the top of the pack of recorded performances of the opera. As important as the fine cast is in making this a memorable version, it's a work that needs top-notch conducting to make its fullest impact, and Alceo Galliera leads the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus in a quicksilver performance that ...

composed by Richard Strauss

Though there are good reasons for hearing other recordings of Der Rosenkavalier -- the endlessly attractive 1954 Decca recording with Reining, Jurinac, Gueden, and Weber with Erich Kleiber leading the Vienna Philharmonic or the luminously appealing 1994 DG recording with Lott, von Otter, Bonney, and Moll with Carlos Kleiber, Erich's son, leading ...

composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Why not another record another Le nozze di Figaro? When this studio performance was taped in 1959, there had already been three great postwar recordings of the work -- the 1950 Karajan, the 1953 Furtwängler, and the 1955 Kleiber -- plus Böhm's 1956 and 1957 performances were surreptitiously available as pirate recordings from Europe, so it's not ...

performed by Christa Ludwig (mezzo-soprano), Philharmonia Chorus (choir, chorus), Philharmonia Orchestra of London, Otto Klemperer (conductor)
composed by Gustav Mahler, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner

Despite what one might initially think, the best performances here are not the Brahms Alto Rhapsody or even the Mahler lieder. No, as great as those performances are -- and they are assuredly among the greatest recordings of those works ever made -- the best performances here are the Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and "Abscheulicher!" ...

composed by Gioachino Rossini

There's no doubting Gioachino Rossini's sincerity in his Stabat Mater -- he himself was so moved by the piece that he couldn't bear to attend the work's dress rehearsal or any of its first performances -- but still, his setting of the Latin text is, strictly speaking, only a sacred work. With its heightened drama, its passionate lyricism and its ...
