Richard Strauss: Elektra

Richard Strauss: Elektra more music like this

performed by Birgit Nilsson (vocals), Felicia Weathers (vocals), Gerhard Stolze (vocals), Gerhard Unger (vocals), Helen Watts (vocals), Jane Cook (vocals), Leo Heppe (vocals), Margaret Sjostedt (vocals), Margarita Lilova (vocals), Marie Collier (vocals)
composed by Richard Strauss

Decca's Elektra is a remarkable account of the opera. Recorded in 1968, produced by John Culshaw with an all-star cast, this performance captures the opera's brutality and atmosphere of nearly uninterrupted hysteria. Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the great Strauss orchestras, in a searing reading of the frenzied score. Solti ...

Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen [Box Set]

Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen [Box Set] (2003) more music like this

composed by Richard Wagner

On the surface, this Ring cycle recording -- though a bargain price -- might seem like a poor relation to those by Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, James Levine, and others, or to the live recordings from the 1950s by the likes of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Clemens Kraus, and Hans Knappertsbusch. The very names constitute big guns in opera, and ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Opera d'Oro's live recording of Tristan und Isolde from the 1974 Bayreuth Festival has surprisingly good sound -- warm and relatively clean, with fine balance and little background noise. (Two caveats -- at one point during Isolde's first-act monologue, the sound drops out entirely for a split second, and there is a skip in the third act.) The ...

performed by Martti Talvela (bass), Pilar Lorengar (soprano), Stuart Burrows (tenor), Yvonne Minton (mezzo-soprano), Chicago Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Georg Solti (conductor)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, Spoken Word

Recorded between 1972 and 1974 and released in time for Christmas in 1975, Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's stereo cycle of Beethoven's symphonies was a classic in its time and remains so 30 years later in this splendidly remastered 2007 re-release. As was typical of the Solti/Chicago partnership, the performances here are big ...

Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro

Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro more music like this

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 ...

performed by Yvonne Minton (mezzo-soprano), Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Georg Solti (conductor)
composed by Gustav Mahler

Due to a wealth of excellent recordings produced in the decades after the Mahler boom of the 1960s, Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are no longer the most highly rated performers of Mahler's symphonies. Their recordings for Decca were valued in their day for their electric energy, clarity, and precision; many were widely praised ...

composed by Edward Elgar, Spoken Word

Anybody who loves the orchestral music of English composer Edward Elgar -- the brilliant Enigma Variations, the passionate Violin Concerto, the heartrending Cello Concerto, the magnificent symphonies, the spectacular overtures, and the virtuosic Bach and Handel transcriptions -- will sooner or later have to deal with his three sacred oratorios: ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

While Johannes Somary's 1970 Vanguard recording of Handel's Messiah provides an early example of authentic period re-creation -- it is a complete performance of the 1966 Watkins Shaw edition, with pared-down choral and orchestral forces, appropriate ornamentation, and a continuo alternating between harpsichord and organ -- it sounds a little ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Is this the greatest Tristan ever recorded? No: that would be Furtwängler's 1953 EMI recording. Is this the greatest Tristan by Carlos Kleiber ever recorded? No: that would be his 1982 DG recording. But, after those two, this 1974 Kleiber is arguably the greatest Tristan ever recorded. It has a sometimes terrific, sometimes merely tolerable cast, ...
