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 bohčme and the evening prayer from Hansel and Gretel, but overall the collection covers its territory well -- from the famous ...

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 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. No ...

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 Franz Schubert

Considering that Schubert himself didn't really believe in the texts he was setting, it's remarkable how credible so much of his sacred music is. But considering that Schubert himself was probably the greatest melodist of all the great composers, it's equally remarkable how forgettable so much of his sacred music is. Even in these dedicated and ...

composed by Leos Janácek

If you love Janácek, you probably already own these recordings because to love Janácek means to love his five greatest operas, his supreme artistic achievements, and to love his five final operas means to love these recordings, by common agreement the best performances any of them ever received. The central reason for this is the conducting of ...

composed by Leos Janácek

It's hard to think of a twentieth century Czech-language opera that has enjoyed more success than Leos Janácek's Jenufa, and there is certainly no shortage of good recordings of it, including one in English. Among the most exceptional is this 1983 effort for Decca led by Charles Mackerras, now revived in its The Originals series. Elisabeth S ...
