 | Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann [Read More ...]
Description: During her far-too-brief career, cellist Jacqueline du Pré exhibited an almost oracular power of communication. Her performances bristled with the kind of brilliant electricity that could change lives and convert listeners to a lifelong love of music. Happily, it's possible to e... |
 | Messiaen: Saint François d'Assise / van Dam, Upshaw, Nagano [Read More ...]
Description: Visionary French composer Olivier Messiaen spent nearly a decade writing St. Francis of Assisi, his four-hour opera inspired by the saint's life--including the famous legend of preaching to the birds, featuring the composer's mesmerizing musical aviary. This spectacular live rec... |
 | Les introuvables de Jacqueline du Pré [Read More ...]
Description: Although most of this set is devoted to major cello concertos (Elgar, Saint-Saëns, Dvorák, Schumann, Haydn) that Du Pré played so well, perhaps the most treasurable recording is one of two Beethoven cello sonatas with the pianist Stephen Bishop (Kovacevich). Recorded very e... |
 | Arnold Schoenberg: Chamber Music for Strings [Read More ...]
Review: Essential recording:This is a monumental recording. It ended my search for a good performance of Schoenberg's complete string quartets. Compared for instance to the Arditti's version, which makes for a pretty "difficult" listen, hard on the ear and the brain, this one is pretty "... |

 | Pierre Boulez ~ Schoenberg · Berio · Carter · Kurtág · Xenakis [Read More ...]
Description: Collecting five CDs for about the price of three, this set of Boulez recordings is without parallel among the conductor's new-music releases. Imagine getting Boulez's celebrated single CD of Luciano Berio's Sinfonia and Eindrücke and his equally impressive single CD of Arnold Sc... |
 | Bach - Matthäus-Passion / Prégardien, Goerne, C. Schäfer, Röschmann, Fink, von Magnus, Schade, M. Schäfer, Henschel, Widmer, Harnoncourt [with Enhanced CD-ROM] [Read More ...]
Review: Exceptional:The potential listeners should not be discouraged by some of the reviews posted here. After all, this recording won Gramophone Award in 2001 for best vocal baroque recording. And to quote from the "Gramophone" review: "This is another major recording [...]shining like... |
 | Mozart - Complete Sacred Works / Harnoncourt [Read More ...]
Just a thought:I was just wondering why if this is called "Mozart Complete Sacred Works" why is it missing K. 20 Motet "God is our Refuge" (Psalm 46:1) Am I missing it somewhere in the table of contents? |
![]() | Historic Broadcasts 1923-1987 [Read More ...]
Description: Culled from New York Philharmonic broadcasts spanning 75 years, this remarkable 10-disc compilation testifies to the strong-willed yet chameleon-like orchestra's virtuosity and versatility under a diverse assemblage of podium personalities. Stylistically speaking, the earlier ite... |
 | 300 Years of the Classics [Read More ...]
Review: Great Collection:This set of CDs is perfect for beginners to classical music since it takes you through the years of classical music from earliest to the most recent so you can hear how the music gradually changes over time. They go in order by the eras Baroque, Classical, Roman... |

![]() | The Live Radio Recordings (Box Set) [Read More ...]
Review: Essential For Mengelberg Fans:This 10-CD box set (plus a bonus 17 minute DVD) is a treasure trove of "live" performances 1938-1944 by one of the last century's greatest conductors. Unfortunately, it comes with a pretty stiff price tag of nearly $20 per CD. With excellent transf... |
 | Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Live Radio Recordings [Read More ...]
Review: Three-and-a-half stars ... All-around good but not essential:I'm a big admirer of Dutch conductor Bernard Haitink. I think he is among the most consistent maestros today. But while this treasury of live performances, recorded for broadcast, is very fine, there's surprisingly litt... |
