The budget Classics for Pleasure line from Britain has reissued a growing variety of famous performances from the 1960s and early 1970s. Some haven't aged a bit; some offer sterling examples of how fashions change. And some fall in between those extremes. Made in 1974, this was a reference recording of Haydn's The Creation for many years, ...

composed by Gustav Mahler

Aside from his sensational Wagner Ring cycle, if one recording in Georg Solti's catalog bears repeated reissues, it must be his truly legendary 1971 rendition of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 in E flat major, "Symphony of a Thousand," a captivating performance that was unmatched in its day and one that still holds its own against later releases. ...

The performances on this two-CD budget-price set from EMI are classics of the English choral sound, but the music included is a bit of a mishmash. The Choir of King's College, Cambridge, with its 16 adult male and boy choristers, recorded often during the directorship of Sir David Willcocks, and this set includes selections from their several Bach ...

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.
