composed by Gaetano Donizetti, Georges Bizet, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Léo Delibes, Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

EMI's The Most Famous Opera Duets is a decent collection of excerpts that delivers on enough of its promise to be forgiven its superlative title. A few notable blockbusters are missing, like "O soave fanciulla" from La bohème and the evening prayer from Hansel and Gretel, but overall the collection covers its territory well -- from the famous ...

Mahler: Symphonies 1-10; Das Lied von der Erde (2005) more music like this

composed by Gustav Mahler

This cycle of Mahler's symphonies plus his Das Lied von der Erde is the last will and recorded testament of Gary Bertini. Although the Moldavian-born, Israeli citizen Bertini lived another decade after most of these performances were recorded in the early '90s, he made very few other recordings and thus his posthumous reputation will be determined ...

composed by Gustav Mahler

What an odd coupling: Mahler's Fourth and Eighth symphonies. One can imagine the First and Second or the Fifth and Sixth or the Ninth and Tenth together, but the Fourth and Eighth stand apart in Mahler's symphonic canon -- apart from everything else and apart from each other. The Fourth is his most lightly scored symphony -- no trombones! -- while ...

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. ...

composed by Richard Wagner

On the surface, this Ring cycle recording -- though a bargain price -- might seem like a poor relation to those by Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, James Levine, and others, or to the live recordings from the 1950s by the likes of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Clemens Kraus, and Hans Knappertsbusch. The very names constitute big guns in opera, and ...
