The budget Classics for Pleasure line from Britain has reissued a growing variety of famous performances from the 1960s and early 1970s. Some haven't aged a bit; some offer sterling examples of how fashions change. And some fall in between those extremes. Made in 1974, this was a reference recording of Haydn's The Creation for many years, ...

The three works collected here, Prokofiev's Ivan the Terrible and Alexander Nevsky and Rachmaninov's The Bells, are naturals to be grouped together in a set.

composed by Benjamin Britten, Franz Joseph Haydn, Maurice Ravel, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Robert Schumann, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Given the vaunted status of and incessant competitiveness among qualified musicians for the first section chairs of major symphony orchestras, perhaps it should not come as too much of a surprise that a first-chair soloist is often as skilled in transmitting concerto literature as a "star" recitalist. But producers of classical recordings have not ...

composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

One can hardly imagine an Adrian Boult Missa Solemnis or a John Barbirolli Missa Solemnis. Indeed, the whole notion of an English Missa Solemnis seems suspect, as if an English conductor would have to turn the Missa Solemnis into either Messiah meets Elijah or, worse yet, Gerontius meets A Mass of Life. Thankfully, Colin Davis' 1977 recording of ...

composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

This is a time-tested recording of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, reissued as part of Philips' reasonably priced Trio series. Over 30 years old at the time of this release, and perhaps not among the best available when it was new, Colin Davis' 1971 performance is still a respectable entry in the catalog of Figaro recordings. Davis deserves a lot of ...
