composed by Richard Wagner

For the first postwar Bayreuth Festival in 1951, the Wagner family presented two complete -- and two completely different -- performances of Der Rings des Nibelungen -- one by old-hand Hans Knappertsbusch, he of the lush textures and the flowing tempos, and the other by new boy Herbert von Karajan, he of the strong, sinewy line.

composed by Johann Sebastian Bach

As collections of Bach's cantatas go, the three joined together on this disc are more than acceptable. Karl Richter was one of the best Bach conductors -- and, let us not forget, one of the better Bach organists -- of the postwar, prehistorically informed performance period, and his recordings for Deutsche Grammophon's Archiv label of a complete ...

composed by George Frederick Handel
