Peter and the Wolf/Lieutenant Kije Sui (2006) more music like this

performed by Boris Karloff, Boris Karloff (vocals), Vienna State Orchestra, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, Mario Rossi (conductor)
composed by Sergey Prokofiev

There are many recordings of Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf read by celebrities; so many that a major scholar of recorded sound history spent two years compiling a listing of all of them. Actually, that wasn't just limited to celebrity recordings, but non-instrument playing actors, politicians, local TV show hosts, and other notables make up a large ...

composed by Fromental Halévy

La Juive was among the most frequently performed operas of its day, and it is still regarded as a masterpiece of French grand opera. But the sheer size and expense of mounting the work have made productions scarce in modern times, and there has yet to be a studio recording made. This live recording from 1998 on RCA Red Seal is easily the most ...

composed by Giuseppe Verdi

Orfeo's release of Otello captures a live 1987 performance from the Vienna Staatsoper. The sound quality is very fine for a live recording. The voices are full and vibrant, the orchestra is clear, and the balance is very good. There is some ancillary stage, pit, and audience noise, but not enough to be seriously distracting. The performance is ...

composed by Saverio Mercadante

This recording has long been something of a lodestone among operatic collectors. It is a concert performance, given and broadcast in Vienna in 1979, with one result being reasonably good sound. Another result is that the performers seem to warm up as they go, really hitting their strides about halfway through. In the case of Plácido Domingo, that ...

composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

The best performances of Beethoven's Fidelio are those performances that force listeners out of themselves, out of their real lives and into better lives of deeper emotions and higher ideals, performances that force listeners to change their lives and become deeper, higher, better human beings. How it happened that some of the best performances of ...
