performed by Christine Brewer (soprano), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Donald Runnicles (conductor)
composed by Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner

An album made up of three popular works and written by two famous Richards leads to an obvious single question: who is one Donald Runnicles?

Britannia (2007) more music like this

performed by Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Donald Runnicles (conductor)
composed by Benjamin Britten, Edward Elgar, James MacMillan, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Peter Maxwell Davies

You might expect that a disc called Britannia with a photograph of the white cliffs of Dover on the cover would start with a Pomp and Circumstance March by Elgar. And so it does on this 2007 Telarc release with Donald Runnicles leading the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. But while the disc starts with a Pomp and Circumstance March, it's not No. 1 but ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Let's say you can only listen to one recording of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. Which one would you pick? Would it be the Wilhelm Furtwängler or possibly the Carlos Kleiber? Let's say, however, you can only pick from one of the digital Tristan recordings made around the turn of the millennium -- then which one would you pick? Would it be Antonio ...

Donald Runnicles is clearly one of the leading conductors of his generation. Under his leadership, the San Francisco Opera has become one of America's premier opera companies. His performances with the Orchestra of St. Luke's and the Atlanta Symphony are rapturously received and ecstatically reviewed. His appearances with the Vienna State Opera ...

performed by Alastair Miles (bass), Elizabeth Bishop (mezzo-soprano), Mary Dunleavy (soprano), Stephen Gould (tenor), Atlanta Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Donald Runnicles (conductor)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

At the hands of Donald Runnicles and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 receives a fairly conventional performance, competently played but neither inspired nor especially insightful. One might classify this as an old-school romantic interpretation, or perhaps a mannered imitation of that style since it sometimes ...
