Angel Records, 2002 Wozzeck was composed by Alban Berg in the 1920s, and it uses as a libretto, virtually unchanged, a play that had been written almost a century earlier (and was later made into a film by Werner Herzog). But it is a shockingly modern work that hits 21st-century audiences with an impact like a tabloid headline: "GI SLAYS MATE, SELF." The opera takes ...             Who Is Afraid 20th Century V.2 Ingo Metzmacher Angel, 2004             Berg: Lyric Suite; Violin Concerto; Lulu-Suite Sabine Meyer, Alban Berg, ... EMI Classics, 2007 Bonus Bargan Berg!... . Another big winner from EMI's double CD reissues!--even more remarkable that they should release this fine set of the esoteric New Viennese Berg.

This is a long-awaited re-release of most of the 1992 "Portrait of Charles Ives" CD, coupled with the Ives songs recorded by Marni Nixon (a GREAT album!) from the old Nonesuch LP.

Conlon Nancarrow, Ingo Metzmacher, ... RCA, 1993 A fantastic testament to a great, long-neglected composer. To put it bluntly, this is some of the most original and entertaining 20th century music you will ever hear.

Angel Records, 1999 Beautiful Strauss, but even more beautiful Britten... The Strauss concerti are very good -- no overbrassy nonsense here, but instead exquisite phrasing and a good sense of musical narrative. But Neunecker is also capable of power when needed -- the finale of the First Concerto being an example. Yet for me the real ...             Karl Amadeus Hartmann: Symphony No. 7, for Great Orchestra (1959) / Symphony No. 8, for Great Orchestra ...

What can I say about this amazing album? Britten was a brilliant composer, and his music always takes my breath away, but this has been my first thorough exposure to song cycles.
