composed by Antonin Dvorák, Benjamin Godard, Camille Saint-Saëns, Franz von Suppé, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Giuseppe Verdi, Johann Strauss II, Luigi Arditi

The category of light vocal music by German singers is not large, but this recording may be its historical high point. It was made in 1958, and part of its original Deutsche Grammophon liner notes are reproduced on the inside of the package.

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.

A 30-year-old Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau makes an ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Although the big story in Wagner reissues in 2006 was the first commercial release of the 1953 Joseph Keilberth/Bayreuth Ring, the first stereo Ring, the real story is the first great-sounding release of the 1953 Clemens Krauss/Bayreuth Ring, the first and only Ring by one of the greatest of Wagner conductors.
