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. All are essentially orchestral works with a significant choral component and parts for soloists. Prokofiev's two works are derived from film scores he wrote for the director Sergei Eisenstein ...

Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius (2007) more music like this

by Janet Baker (mezzo-soprano), John Mitchinson (tenor), John Shirley-Quirk (bass), City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Simon Rattle (conductor)

For EMI, the label that had already made a series of ever more opulent and magnificent recordings of Elgar's oratorio The Dream of Gerontius, the temptation to try again in 1986 must have been irresistible. Mezzo-soprano Janet Baker, who starred in Barbirolli's 1964 recording, was still professionally active in 1986, and so were fellow veterans ...

Aside from his sensational Wagner Ring cycle, if one recording in Georg Solti's catalog bears repeated reissues, it must be his truly legendary rendition of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 in E flat major, "Symphony of a Thousand," a captivating performance that was unmatched in its day and one that still holds its own against later releases. No ...

Arnold Schoenberg: Serenade/Five Pieces For Orchestra (1993) more music like this

by Alain Neveux (piano), Andre Saint-Clivier (mandolin), Gerard Causse (viola), Guy Arnaud (clarinet), Jacques Ghestem (violin), John Shirley-Quirk (vocals), Marie-Therese Ghirardi (guitar), Members of the Ensemble InterContemporain

The three works presented here reveal distinctly different phases of Arnold Schoenberg's development, each a critical point of departure. In the Pieces (5) for Orchestra (1909), Schoenberg's atonal language appears full-blown and marks a clear break with tonality. For the first time, Schoenberg places content over form and dispenses with any ...

Britten Conducts Britten: Operas 1 [Box Set] (2004) more music like this

Benjamin Britten's recordings of his own operas are definitive -- cutting out the interpretive middle man and going straight to the heart of every bar, every scene. For sure, there are better sounding, and in many cases better sung, recordings to be had, especially of the popular works like Peter Grimes and Billy Budd; but none of them are as ...

The performances on this two-CD budget-price set from EMI are classics of the English choral sound, but the music included is a bit of a mishmash. The Choir of King's College, Cambridge, with its 16 adult male and boy choristers, recorded often during the directorship of Sir David Willcocks, and this set includes selections from their several Bach ...

The authoritative recording of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 1, "A Sea Symphony" (1903-1909), is generally conceded to be the stirring rendition by Adrian Boult and the London Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus, with soprano Sheila Armstrong and baritone John Carol Case, released in 1968 on EMI. But the 1970 RCA recording by André Previn ...
