composed by Gioachino Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi

This budget two-disc set, combining a 1994 British recording of Verdi's Requiem mass with a 1960 Rossini Stabat Mater, might seem to be one of those random bargain-bin releases that does nothing but degrade the value of concert music. In the event, however, the two performances hang together in interesting ways, and while no one would pick these ...

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 Richard Wagner

A perfectly acceptable performance, Joseph Keilberth's Das Rheingold at the 1955 Bayreuth Festival would no doubt have satisfied most listeners. But although the performance was taped in stereo by Decca, the recording remained unreleased until 2006 when Testament finally issued it, and by that time finer performances, including Decca's own ...

composed by Richard Wagner

If Decca had issued this 1955 Bayreuth performance of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen in 1956 instead of shelving it until Testament issued it in 2007, what would have happened? As the first complete Ring cycle, it would no doubt have been greeted with cheers from the composer's many fans, and as a real, if cramped, stereo recording in the early ...
