composed by Gustav Mahler

This 12-CD set is of obvious interest on two counts -- first, because it assembles all of the classic 1960s vintage Leonard Bernstein recordings of Mahler's symphonies, done during Bernstein's tenure as music director of the New York Philharmonic, in one place in some of the best digital remasterings. Second, they're all together here in one very ...

performed by Geoffrey Parsons (piano), Thomas Hampson (baritone)
composed by Alexander von Zemlinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, Carl Loewe, Carl Maria von Weber, Felix Mendelssohn, Gustav Mahler, Johannes Brahms, Richard Strauss, Robert Schumann

Strong but soulful singing, sympathetic but characterful accompanying, inspired programming and a rich recording: what's not to like? As it turns out, nothing: baritone Thomas Hampson and pianist Geoffrey Parsons were an unbeatable partnership and their 1989 recording of settings of poems from Des Knaben Wunderhorn is full of superb performances. ...

Bach: Transcriptions

Bach: Transcriptions (2000) more music like this

performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, Esa-Pekka Salonen (conductor)
composed by Anton Webern, Arnold Schoenberg, Edward Elgar, Gustav Mahler, Leopold Stokowski

"Cranked-up," "Rock 'n' Roll," "thick shag of strings": these are just a few of the unlikely descriptions used by the writer of the liner notes for his release in a useless attempt to justify the ways of transcription to man. But no justification is possible or even necessary. To the purist, a transcription is an abomination in the ears of God ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 3 (2007) more music like this

performed by Michelle DeYoung (mezzo-soprano), Chicago Children's Choir (choir, chorus), Chicago Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Bernard Haitink (conductor)
composed by Gustav Mahler

Bernard Haitink recorded Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3 in D minor with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1966, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra recorded the work with Georg Solti in 1982, so each already has a classic rendition that is readily available and worth including in any collection. But this live 2006 recording, which marks Haitink's ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 6 (2005) more music like this

performed by Berliner Philharmoniker, Claudio Abbado (conductor)
composed by Gustav Mahler, Recorded Sound

When at last it was revealed what Mahler's final intentions were regarding the ordering of the inner movements of his Sixth Symphony, 90 years of theory, history, and performance practice went right out the window. For theorists, it altered the harmonic structure of Mahler's A minor Symphony. For historians, it modified the meaning of Mahler's ...

composed by Gustav Mahler

This cycle of Mahler's symphonies plus his Das Lied von der Erde is the last will and recorded testament of Gary Bertini. Although the Moldavian-born, Israeli citizen Bertini lived another decade after most of these performances were recorded in the early '90s, he made very few other recordings and thus his posthumous reputation will be determined ...

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 Claude Debussy, Gustav Mahler

You have to listen to this disc. It justifies the whole invention of recording sound. Claudio Abbado -- a man of 70 who had just recovered from a life-threatening illness -- leads the Lucerne Festival Orchestra -- an orchestra made of up some of the best musicians in Europe -- in two of the greatest orchestral works of the fin de sičcle -- ...
