composed by Benjamin Britten

What can be said about Britten's War Requiem that hasn't already been said? That it is brilliantly composed, endlessly fascinating, and profoundly affecting? That it is lyrically heartrending, musically heartbreaking, and emotionally devastating? That it is the single most persuasive setting of the Requiem text of the twentieth century? That is ...

performed by Arve Tellefsen (violin), Frantz Lemmser (flute), Ib Jarlkov (drums), Kjell-Inge Stevensson (clarinet), Melos Ensemble of London, Danmarks Radiosymfoniorkester
composed by Carl Nielsen

Though the Melos Ensemble's reading of the Wind Quintet is highly entertaining and the Danish soloists' accounts of the three concertos are deeply satisfying, the real find on this two-disc set dedicated to the music of Danish modernist Carl Nielsen is Rafael Kubelik's soaring, surging performance of his Fifth Symphony. Recorded in 1983 and ...

John Ireland: Sextets, Trios & Sonatas for clarinet, cello & violin (2007) more music like this

performed by Eric Parkin (piano), Julian Lloyd Webber (cello), Melos Ensemble of London, Yfrah Neaman (violin)
composed by John Ireland

Here are three words not often heard together: English chamber music. Elgar, Rubbra, Tippet, and Vaughan Williams all wrote some, but their body of work in the intimate genres is far outweighed by their output of symphonies. Standing apart from this trend is John Ireland, who wrote only one concerto, few orchestral works, and no symphonies at all. ...

20th Century Masterpieces [Box Set] (2008) more music like this

performed by André Previn (piano), Angel Romero (guitar), Barry McDaniel (baritone), Christa Ludwig (mezzo-soprano), Ensemble de Percussion de l'Orchestre de Paris, Frank Peter Zimmermann (violin), Gerhard Unger (tenor), Gidon Kremer (violin), Gillian Weir (organ)
composed by Aaron Copland, Alban Berg, Alfred Schnittke, Anton Webern, Aram Khachaturian, Arnold Schoenberg, Arthur Honegger, Arvo Pärt, Béla Bartók, Benjamin Britten, Carl Nielsen, Carl Orff, Claude Debussy, Darius Milhaud, Dmitry Shostakovich, Edward Elgar

This 16-disc collection is even more ambitious than it appears on the cover. It's not just an anthology of recordings of music of the twentieth century, but an introduction to the whole subject, with a comprehensive text overview (or at least as comprehensive as you can be in 17 pages). The organization is chronological, and each piece is ...

Nielsen: Symphonies 1-6; Overtures; Concertos; Wind Quintet; Piano Music [Box Set] (2008) more music like this

performed by Arve Tellefsen (violin), Bent Norup (bass baritone), Bodil Gobel (soprano), Copenhagen Boys' Choir, Frantz Lemmser (flute), Hans Christian Andersen (bass), Ib Eriksson (clarinet), Ib Jarlkov (drums), Kirsten Schultz (soprano)
composed by Carl Nielsen

Even though the revival of Carl Nielsen's music in the late '60s proved to be nearly as revelatory as the slightly earlier promotion of Gustav Mahler's symphonies, the pace of recordings at the time was quite sluggish. Indeed, by the early '70s, the discography of Nielsen's symphonies included a smattering of releases by Leonard Bernstein and ...
