The Most Famous Opera Duets (1994) more music like this

composed by Gaetano Donizetti, Georges Bizet, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Léo Delibes, Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

EMI's The Most Famous Opera Duets is a decent collection of excerpts that delivers on enough of its promise to be forgiven its superlative title. A few notable blockbusters are missing, like "O soave fanciulla" from La bohème and the evening prayer from Hansel and Gretel, but overall the collection covers its territory well -- from the famous ...

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

Released in 2006, that is, 250 years after Mozart's birth, this four-disc set returns to the catalog many of the recordings that made the bicentenary of Mozart's birth in 1956 a reason to celebrate. Perhaps not all the recordings were wholly worth reissuing -- Otto Ackermann's 1953 recording of Symphonies No. 22 and No. 24 with the Amsterdam ...

composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, Recorded Sound

How many great Böhm Ninths are there? There's one for every decade of his career. There's the maniacal 1941 Ninth with the Staatskapelle Dresden. There's the fanatical 1954 Ninth with the Hessischen Rundfunks. There's the ecstatic 1963 Ninth with the Orchestra of the Bayreuth Festival. There's the transcendent 1970 Ninth with the Vienna ...

composed by Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner

This is what one lives for: one lucid moment of absolute understanding. Jascha Horenstein's recording from February 23, 1961, is what one lives for: one of the two of three greatest performances of one of the two or three greatest sacred choral works ever recorded. If Jascha Horenstein is not one of the great names in twentieth century conducting, ...

Karl Böhm is presented with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in this 1956 recording of the Requiem in D minor, K. 526, a historic recording on Archipel that should not be mistaken for the 1955 recording reissued on Orfeo with the same conductor and chorus, but with the Vienna Philharmonic and a different quartet of vocal soloists.
