Wagner: Rienzi

Richard Wagner, Heinrich Hollreiser, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

A wonderful discovery!
Coming from listening to practically all of Wagner's other known works---from Kempe's Lohengrin to Solti's Ring---I have to admit that Rienzi was a wonderful discovery, even a surprise. Upon first listening, I can understand why Wagner would not want to look back on ...

25 Classical Dance Favorites

Ludwig van Beethoven, Alexander Borodin, ...

Vox (Classical), 1997

Wonderful selection, but not really dancing music
I agree that this is indeed absolutely beautiful light classical music. It is indeed a perfect beginning to a lifelong passion to have classical music playing in the background or to turn up the volume and immerse yourself in it. But it consists of mostly ballet ...

The Art of Ivry Gitlis

Bela Bartok, Max Bruch, ...

Vox (Classical), 1992

Please don't delete this item!
It is such a shame that more isn't available from this artist. There exists somewhere (only on LP?) an amazing Paganini 1 of Gitlis for example, that hasn't been on CD for years, or ever? The violin playing on this collection is from Gitlis' earlier years (a good ...

Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Vox (Classical), 1997

A Grand symphonic adventure
This album provides a quick exposure to some of the best movements in the best symphonies. Many of the tracks will sound familiar. They are played well and have good sound quality. As a novice musician, i have great appreciation for it.

Krenek Jonny Spielt Auf

Gerd Feldhoff, Thomas Stewart, ...

Vanguard Classics, 1994

A big hit in 1927 combining traditional opera, a touch of atonality, jazz, and a salacious story (for the time)
Ernst K?enek had has biggest success with "Johnny Spielt Auf" ("Johnny Plays On", his first opera. It was 1927 and its combination of a salacious story (by their times), traditional opera, some atonal touches, and jazz elements caused a scandal. And of course, the ...

25 Tchaikovsky Favorites

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Alois Springer, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Wonderful, inexpensive CD
This is a great CD offering 25 of Tchaikovsky's best. The quality is good, and the price can't be beat! I bought it for $2.99 with free super-saver shipping.

Strauss: Four Last Songs, Arabella/Della Casa (Vier letzte Lieder)

Richard Strauss, Heinrich Hollreiser, ...

Decca, 2000

NOT TO BE MISSED
As one record reviewer put it: "It was a voice unlike any other." Indeed, for sheer vocal beauty no one matches Lisa della Casa, and a quick sampling of this disc's contents will demonstrate why Strauss himself identified her as his ideal Arabella. The voice's glory ...

Richard Strauss - Josephs Legende (The Legend of Joseph)

Judith Jamison, Kevin Haigen

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

The best ballet on DVD
I first had this ballet on Laser Disc and watch it at least a dozen times. It was the best photographed ballet I had seen up to that time. The DVD is even better since the images are sharper; and it is still the best photographed of any ballet I have seen. The ...

A Collection Of Classics By The Greatest Russian Composers
I've always loved the style of Tchaikovsky's music. It was one of my first classical Russian composer I listened to. The melancholy, romantic style associated with Russian music was great and sounds close to the modern classical music/film scores of today. The ...

Richard Wagner: Rienzi

Gunther Leib, Nikolaus Hillebrand, ...

Angel Records, 1991

Outstanding Performance of Dramatic Opera (Revised Review)
Revision of previously submitted review. I did not give proper credit to the key solo performers, wish to clarify my comments on this. A music fan from Northern Virginia , April 9, 1999 (Review revised from March 24 submission). Outstanding performance of great ...
