composed by Benjamin Britten

Benjamin Britten's recordings of his own operas are definitive -- cutting out the interpretive middle man and going straight to the heart of every bar, every scene. For sure, there are better sounding, and in many cases better sung, recordings to be had, especially of the popular works like Peter Grimes and Billy Budd; but none of them are as ...

Britten: Peter Grimes (2006) more music like this

composed by Benjamin Britten

Decca is to be commended for reissuing the original 1959 recording of Peter Grimes, conducted by the composer and starring Peter Pears, who created the role. There have been a number of subsequent recordings of the opera, but this one, both as a document of the composer's intentions, and on its own musical merit, remains essential for any Britten ...

composed by Richard Strauss

Although it might seem reasonable to prefer Carlos Kleiber's later 1994 recording of Der Rosenkavalier for Deutsche Grammophon -- after all, it has the Felicity Lott, Anne Sofie von Otter, Barbara Bonney, and Kurt Moll, plus the Weiner Philharmoniker and first-class DG sound -- there are still compelling reasons to hear his earlier 1974 recording. ...

When Christa Ludwig retired from singing in 1994, the world lost one of its greatest mezzo-sopranos and the Wiener Staatsoper lost one of its greatest singing actresses. The combination of her warm, creamy voice with its lush lower register and her strong, subtle characterizations that found the heart of every role she undertook allowed Ludwig to ...

composed by Richard Wagner

If this slim two-disc set is a listener's first encounter with Georg Solti's Das Rheingold, he/she might be forgiven for thinking the recording was made in 2008 or 1988 or even 1968. But 1958? How could a recording this crisp, clean, detailed, full, deep, immediate, and overwhelmingly real have been recorded in 1958?It could have been and it was. ...
