Mozart: Horn Concertos 1-4; Quintet K 452

performed by Cecil James (bassoon), Colin Horsley (piano), Dennis Brain (horn), Dennis Brain Wind Ensemble, Leonard Brain (oboe), Stephen Waters (clarinet), Philharmonia Orchestra of London, Herbert von Karajan (conductor)
composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

It's only a matter of time until everyone in the world has a copy of Dennis Brain's 1954 recordings of Mozart's Horn Concerto. And why shouldn't they? Witty, sweet, noble, and tender, the works themselves are the peak of the solo horn repertoire and Brain's performances are the living, breathing incarnation of the works. His tone is warm and ...

Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia

Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (1958) more music like this

composed by Gioachino Rossini

EMI's 1957 Il barbiere di Siviglia remains near the top of the pack of recorded performances of the opera. As important as the fine cast is in making this a memorable version, it's a work that needs top-notch conducting to make its fullest impact, and Alceo Galliera leads the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus in a quicksilver performance that ...

performed by Elisabeth Höngen (mezzo-soprano), Gerald Moore (piano), Kirsten Flagstad (soprano), Set Svanholm (tenor), Philharmonia Orchestra of London
composed by Richard Wagner

EMI Classics' represents the work of Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad in its Great Artists of the Century series through a collection entitled Wagner: Wesendonck-Lieder -- Arias. Flagstad, unlike most sopranos, improved with age like a fine wine, with her postwar EMI recordings being Flagstad's latest and considered her best. These selections ...

Richard Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier

Richard Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier (1996) more music like this

composed by Richard Strauss

Though there are good reasons for hearing other recordings of Der Rosenkavalier -- the endlessly attractive 1954 Decca recording with Reining, Jurinac, Gueden, and Weber with Erich Kleiber leading the Vienna Philharmonic or the luminously appealing 1994 DG recording with Lott, von Otter, Bonney, and Moll with Carlos Kleiber, Erich's son, leading ...

Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro

Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro (1989) more music like this

composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Why not another record another Le nozze di Figaro? When this studio performance was taped in 1959, there had already been three great postwar recordings of the work -- the 1950 Karajan, the 1953 Furtwängler, and the 1955 Kleiber -- plus Böhm's 1956 and 1957 performances were surreptitiously available as pirate recordings from Europe, so it's not ...

Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty

Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty more music like this

performed by Philharmonia Orchestra of London, George Weldon (conductor)
composed by Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky

In reissuing George Weldon's 1956 performance with the Philharmonia Orchestra of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty as a double-disc package in the Classics for Pleasure series, EMI shows considerable pride in this groundbreaking recording, which was the first stereo version of the ballet. However, this reissue is inadequate by contemporary digital ...

Khachaturian: Violin Concerto; Taneyev: Suite de concert (2006) more music like this

performed by David Oistrakh (violin), Philharmonia Orchestra of London
composed by Aram Khachaturian, Sergei Taneyev

Although it is certainly possible to debate the relative merits of violinist David Oistrakh's recordings of the standard nineteenth century German concerto repertoire -- is his Beethoven concerto really the purest? Is his Mendelssohn concerto really the lightest? Is his Brahms concerto really the most lyrical? It is impossible to debate the merits ...

Wagner: Tristan und Isolde

Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (1993) more music like this

performed by Blanche Thebom (vocals), Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (vocals), Edgar Evans (vocals), Josef Greindl (vocals), Kirsten Flagstad (vocals), Ludwig Suthaus (vocals), Rhoderick Davies (vocals), Rudolf Schock (vocals)
composed by Richard Wagner

Wilhelm Furtwängler's 1952 EMI recording of Tristan und Isolde with the Philharmonia Orchestra is a gold standard among recordings of the opera. The integrity of his vision and his command of the opera's large structural elements make this a version that is widely admired by listeners who love the opera. Although his reading is never rushed, and ...

Christa Ludwig sings Wagner, Brahms, Mahler & Beethoven (2006) more music like this

performed by Christa Ludwig (mezzo-soprano), Philharmonia Chorus (choir, chorus), Philharmonia Orchestra of London, Otto Klemperer (conductor)
composed by Gustav Mahler, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner

Despite what one might initially think, the best performances here are not the Brahms Alto Rhapsody or even the Mahler lieder. No, as great as those performances are -- and they are assuredly among the greatest recordings of those works ever made -- the best performances here are the Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and "Abscheulicher!" ...

composed by Jean Sibelius

In the '50s, Herbert von Karajan recorded Sibelius' Second, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh symphonies, plus Finlandia with the Philharmonia, and ever since, EMI has been issuing and reissuing and re-reissuing them in every possible permutation. Last year, it released the Fourth and Fifth along with Finlandia, and this year, it has released the Second ...
