Classical Masterpieces of the Millennium [20 CD Set]

Hermann Prey, Miklos Perenyi, ...

Delta, 1999

Y'all ain't ready
I bought this set wanting an introduction to a bunch of composers, many of whom I have heard very little if not nothing at all from, and expected to enjoy about half of the discs in this set. What I did not prepare for was having my rear end rocked off by one great ...

Neujahrskonzert In Wien (New Year's Concert)

Johann II Strauss, Johann II and Josef Strauss, ...

Polygram Records, 1990

The best Strauss collection on CD
If you're looking for a single CD of the Strauss family's music, look no further than this recording of the 1987 New Year's Day concert (which is also available on DVD, and is perhaps the most recommendable Karajan concert film). Every work is marvellously conducted, ...

Johann Strauss - Die Fledermaus / Domingo, Te Kanawa, Prey, Royal Opera Covent Garden

Kiri Te Kanawa, Hermann Prey

Warner Music Group Germany, 2003

Die Fledermaus
Although the performance dates from the 1980s the DVD is visually and technically quite satisfactory. The DVD I ordered suffered from two or three brief interruptions. It was a gift to a relative and I wasn't able to determine whether the problem was with the disc or ...

Instruments of the Orchestra

Various Artists

Naxos, 2002

Very Informative and Enjoyable
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes ...

The Art of Fritz Wunderlich

August Messthaler, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

I wish I could give this release more than 5 stars: it's terrific!!!
I knew little about the German tenor Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), except reading the accolades given to his recordings and performances by reviewers in "American Record Guide" over the past 13 years. I knew Wunderlich recorded the role of Tamino in the famous DG ...

Story Of Johann Strauss In Words And Music

Johann II Strauss, Johann II and Josef Strauss, ...

Vox (Classical), 1995

Strauss Music
I had ordered 3 CDs of Strauss music. I was informed that there was a problem with my credit card on two of the items and the orders were cancelled. The third item was shipped in duplicate.(I only wanted one) and it was the worst of the three as it is more talk ...

Strauss: The Best of Vienna

Johann II Strauss, Johann II and Josef Strauss, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1999

Repackaged New Year's Concert 1984 with VPO, etc.
If I'm not mistaken, most of the pieces were recorded originally live during a 1984 New Year's Concert conducted by Lorin Maazel with the Vienna Philharmonic playing in its grand concert hall, the Musikverein. Maazel and the Vienna Philharmonic have had a longstanding ...

The Very Best of Lucia Popp

Antonin Dvorak, Edvard Grieg, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Lucy: The Reigning Queen of Opera
Lucia Popp is one of the best sopranos to ever grace the operatic/classical voice stage. This CD compilation shows her progression through lyric Handel to lyric and dramatic Mozart (her Der Holle Rache from Magic Flute is unrivaled) to tender art song and operetta ...

Strauss Waltzes

Johann II Strauss, Josef Strauss, ...

Decca, 1992

Another Gold Record for Mantovani!
This remarkable CD was first released on LP in 1953 and re-released in stereo sound in 1958. It was one of Maestro Mantovani's classic gold records, an enormous favorite then and now. These are the original London/Decca recordings so you will hear the brilliance of the ...

The American Brass Band Journal

George Bicknell, Henri Cramatte, ...

Sony, 2005

The Early Brass Band in America
A fine CD reconstruction of 1850s and 1860s band music in America. Actually a combination of two older LPs that were collected onto one disc it is great to see these recordings back in print again. The linear notes are complete and pretty extensive. The selection of ...

Carlos Kleiber Conducts Strauss

Johann II Strauss, Johann II and Josef Strauss, ...

Sony, 1991

The only CD you'll ever need...
...when you are stranded on a lonely island, with a beautiful wom... Ok, seriously: Carlos Kleiber (God bless him!) was the best of all Johann Strauss conductors, actually in my opinion far better than Karajan (who's work I otherwise respect a lot). Kleiber brings a ...

Johann Strauss: Virtuoso Piano Transcriptions

Ernst von Dohnanyi, Leopold Godowsky, ...

Video Artists Int'l, 1995

Old Magicians at large
This is a fun CD. These repertoires have become more "politically incorrect" among musicians today, but I had one of the most enchanting hour from listening to these old pianistic magicians. It is a similar feeling to eating all the delicious desserts full of ...
