Der Ring Des Nibelungen

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002
"Furchtbar nun erfind ich des Fluches Kraft!"
There are over 20 complete recordings of Richard Wagner's "Der Ring Des Nibelungen". This, with James Levine and the Metropolitan Opera, is one of them. This conductor has his own fair share of Herbert von Karajan's lyricism, Only, his lyricism is softer and much ...
Robert Schumann: Genoveva, Op 81
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
, Siegfried Lorenz, ...
Berlin Classics, 1994
Schumann's forgotten opera
Genoveva, Robert Schumann's only opera, has unfortunately never entered the repertory, due largely to unfounded contemporry criticisn at the time of its first performances in 1850. This opera is vintage Schumann, full of delightful music. The story of a faithful wife ...

WOW! Beethoven in a box!
Who could ask for more? This is the ultimate. To have all of Beethoven's works in one, easy to access place is heaven for the Beethovenite! The price, considering what one would have to pay for each recording separately, is so well worth it. The booklet provided, ...
Birgit Nilsson Sings Richard Wagner & Richard Strauss

Gala, 2000
Great
This is a very good CD for people who follow Birgit Nilsson's development. It contains live performances from 1949 (Ariadne auf Naxos - Nilsson sang Ariadne!!) to 1977 (Dyer's Wife in Die Frau Ohne Schatten). You can see her development from young to old over close to ...
Bach: Secular Cantatas [Box Set]

Brilliant Classics, 2006
YOUNGER GENERATION LEIPZIG SCHOOL
I bought this album on Archiv LP some years ago, and it has been a favorite of mine ever since. Getting it on CD was something I had been trying to do for several years. If you like the Gunther Ramin, Wilhelm Ehmann and Karl Richter style of cantati, this is probably ...
Schoenberg - Moses und Aron / Pittman-Jennings · Merritt · Boulez
Arnold Schoenberg
,
Pierre Boulez
, ...
Deutsche Grammophon, 1996
Enormous clarity surpasses lack of spontaneous passion
You may find problems with Boulez's conducting. His Mahler you might think impossible,two men of widely different temperments. You can claim the same for Schoenberg and you need to either place Schoenberg in this century as Boulez does or throw him back as the late ...
Bach: The Sacred Cantatas
Albert Hartinger

Hanns-Friedrich Kunz

Warner Classics, 2008
Logic on Fire, hundreds of hours worth....
This is the landmark 60-CD set of the complete Bach sacred cantatas recorded by period instrument pioneers Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt with their respective original instrument ensembles Concentus Musicus Wein and the Leonhardt Consort between the early ...
Mendelssohn: Die erste Walpurgisnacht
Siegfried Vogel,
Felix Mendelssohn
, ...
Berlin Classics, 1993
Great stuff.
It's too bad Mendelssohn died so young. If he lived to a healthy old age, I'm sure he would have given Richard Wagner some serious competition. Just listen to "Die erste Walpurgisnacht"! It has all of Wagner's strengths, but none of his weaknesses. To elaborate, it ...
Beethoven Edition: Complete Works (85CD Box Set)
Ludwig van Beethoven

Florian Prey

Brilliant Classics, 2007
Great price for every note written by Beethoven
I have the complete sets for Mozart and Bach too. Overall they pick pretty good versions of each piece, but at this price, you can use it as reference to fill out with specific artist, later. This is compact in packaging and a great gift for people in apartments or ...
Classical Christmas

Delta, 1993
A joyful Christmas box of many rare musical jewels.
Laserlight has the rights to so much recorded music - excellent, good, indifferent, bad - & of such varying sound quality, that it's difficult to rate the label's bargain compilations. Most are afflicted with "excerpt-itis," the "greatest hits" disease. However, some ...
Bach: B Minor Mass; St. Matthew Passion; St. John Passion; Christmas Oratorio
Hermann Prey

RCA, 2004
Bach Oratorios
Good recordings of great oratorios at a great price, I see the price has gone up considerably now, and I'd think twice before paying that much for these recordings. However trying to collect these separately is going to cost you a lot more than this box set, hope this ...
Richard Wagner on Record

Preiser Records, 1998
Astonishingly Affecting Artist
Meta Seinemeyer remains one of the legends of not only German opera, but all of opera. She recorded for only a short time during the twenties, dying very young under tragic circumstances. Her repetoire was essentially that of the lyric soprano, but she added a great ...
Prokofiev: The Fiery Angel
Sergey Prokofiev
,
Neeme Järvi

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005
A Horror Opera
The story of this opera is dated now, but when it was first written, it was a true horror story. I won't give the plot away, but it has its moments. Prokofiev was a very underrated composer, and this music is wonderful for the story. Even if you don't like opera, ...
