composed by Richard Strauss

Richard Strauss' early operatic success with Salome helped secure the composer a distinguished place in history. Although the lustful Salome had been portrayed before, it wasn't until Strauss expounded upon Oscar Wilde's play that this story became so massively successful.

Just a generation ago, posterity hadn't quite made up its mind about Franco Corelli. Corelli was an operatic oddity, a self-trained singer with movie star looks who largely learned his craft from listening to old records of his predecessors. Corelli made up for what he may have lacked in conventionally trained, "beautiful" tone with an approach ...

composed by Giacomo Puccini

Puccini's last opera, Turandot, marks what would have been, had Puccini lived, a turning point in that composer's style. After having written several operas, mostly named after the heroine -- usually a frail, shallow creature who lives and dies for love in a world where erotic passion, sensuality, tenderness, pathos, and despair intersect -- ...

Decca has pulled together a blockbuster collection of many of opera's greatest hits from the standard repertoire. The selection is heavily weighted to the nineteenth century, and to Italian operas, but it does indeed offer a generous sampling of what the general public understands as the staples of the repertoire. It includes one Baroque aria, ...

composed by Giuseppe Verdi

Decca's reissue of its 1961 all-star recording of Un ballo in maschera is a disappointment on most counts. Even though it was produced by John Culshaw during Decca's golden age of studio recordings, the sound quality is mostly mediocre: the soloists are often overshadowed by the orchestra, and the sound is shallow, with little sense of meaningful ...

composed by Richard Strauss

Decca's Elektra is a remarkable account of the opera. Recorded in 1968, produced by John Culshaw with an all-star cast, this performance captures the opera's brutality and atmosphere of nearly uninterrupted hysteria. Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the great Strauss orchestras, in a searing reading of the frenzied score. Solti ...

performed by Birgit Nilsson (soprano), Philharmonia Orchestra of London, Otto Klemperer (conductor)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Is Otto Klemperer's 1957 recording of the "Pastoral" the greatest ever recorded? Despite the stiff competition, it could be. Furtwängler's with the Vienna is a richly imagined fantasy of the "Pastoral" and very, very great. Walter's with the Philadelphia is a superbly played, deeply poetic, and profoundly beautiful "Pastoral" and very, very great. ...
