composed by Arnold Schoenberg

The performers on this recording, whom Georg Solti instructed, "Please play and sing as if you were performing Brahms!" clearly took his directions to heart. This performance is characterized by the kind of passion, and occasional frenzy, Schoenberg had in mind -- in this incarnation, the opera could never be taken as an academic exercise in ...

performed by Derek Lee Ragin (counter tenor), Frank Lloyd (horn), Gerald Finley (baritone), Jean Rigby (contralto), Judi Dench, Osian Ellis (harp), Philip Langridge (tenor), Steuart Bedford (piano)
composed by Benjamin Britten

At their best, Benjamin Britten's Canticles are hypnotic works that walk a fine line between piety and theater. If they sound studied, they lose their connection to gut emotion, and if they go over the top expressively, Britten's finely woven tapestries of sound give way to chaos. Few recordings have managed to straddle that line as well as this ...

composed by Daniel Purcell, George Frederick Pinto, George Munro, James Hook, Johann Peter Salomon, John Blow, John Eccles, Maurice Greene, Stephen Storace, Thomas Arne, Thomas Linley (The Younger), William Boyce, William Croft, William Jackson

The eighteenth century concerts at London's Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens represented a major turning point in the history of public concerts. They were relatively inexpensive and attracted patrons from nearly all walks of life, from the nobility down to the lower middle class. The usual fare at Vauxhall Gardens was the English-language pop tunes of ...

performed by Catherine Denley (contralto), Catherine Wyn-Rogers (contralto), Christopher Maltman (baritone), Daniel Norman (tenor), Geraldine McGreevy (soprano), Graham Johnson (piano), Ian Bostridge (tenor), Jamie MacDougall (tenor), John Mark Ainsley (tenor)
composed by Franz Schubert

One would have thought that at some point Graham Johnson would simply have run out of great Schubert songs in compiling his Schubert edition. And one would have been wrong: even here at volume 35 in a program with the unwieldy title of Schubert, 1822 -- 1825, Johnson has seemingly saved some of the best for nearly the end. But what else could a ...
