composed by Richard Wagner

This is it -- the pressing and the packaging you've been waiting for in a Clemens Krauss Ring. Old-timers know that, along with one of the other of the Furtwängler's, the Krauss Ring is the pre-stereo recording of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen to hear. Taped at the 1953 Bayreuth Festival, the Krauss Ring has fabulous singing from some of the ...

composed by Richard Wagner

This classic performance of Tristan und Isolde from the 1952 Bayreuth Festival has seen a number of incarnations on CD. That's not surprising, given the sound quality, which is unusually clean, full, and well-balanced for a live recording of that era, the high standard of the orchestral playing, and the star turns from the principals. Herbert von ...

Richard Strauss: Arabella (2005) more music like this

composed by Richard Strauss

By common assent, the great postwar Arabella was Swiss soprano Lisa della Casa. She was everything an Arabella should be: steely willed but also lyrical, golden-toned but also dramatic, passionate but also compassionate. Although she went on to record the role twice for major labels, first with Georg Solti on Decca in 1957 and then with Karl Böhm ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Is it or isn't it a great Dutchman? It's hard to tell from the reviews. When first released in 1955, this Die fliegende Holländer with Astrid Varnay as Senta, Ludwig Weber as Daland, and Hermann Uhde in the title role plus Joseph Keilberth leading the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra and Chorus was praised for its singing and slighted for its ...

composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The story goes that once, when Furtwängler was rehearsing with an Italian orchestra, his unsteady opening downbeat caused one of the musicians to call out sympathetically "Coraggio, maestro!" Whether or not it's apocryphal, the story's totally credible. Just listen to the opening chords of this 1949 recording of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte with Furtw ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Although the big story in Wagner reissues in 2006 was the first commercial release of the 1953 Joseph Keilberth/Bayreuth Ring, the first stereo Ring, the real story is the first great-sounding release of the 1953 Clemens Krauss/Bayreuth Ring, the first and only Ring by one of the greatest of Wagner conductors.
