It is ...             Debussy: L'Enfant Prodigue/La Damoiselle Elue Claude Debussy, Gary Bertini, ... Orfeo, 1993 A wonderful rendition of Debussy's operettas This is the only known recording of Debussy's "L'enant Prodigue" (Prodigal Son), and it is superbly rendered with excellent orchestration and vocals. The orchestral preludes to the two operettas, especially "L'enfant Prodigue", are beautiful. My only complaint is that ...             Rochberg: String Quartets Nos. 3-6 Norman Fischer, George Rochberg, ... New World Records, 1999 Some of the greatest American classical music of the 20th century, wonderfully performed and recorded I was overjoyed to see these recordings released on CD a few years ago. I heard Rochberg's third quartet in a college class in the mid-1970s, and it changed my life. It was the first time I had heard music that was beautiful, emotional, tonally connected to the ...             American String Quartets, 1950-1970 Norman Fischer, Earle Brown, ... Vox (Classical), 1995 compendium of the richness of American innovation This is a great showcase of the American string quartet,innovation,vision,iconoclasm,all elements which we often overlook and forget easily.But only Elliot Carter is missing, and that's because he has what! Five Quartets now.Inclusion of the First Carter would have ...             100 Best Opera Classics Andreas Schmidt, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, ... Emd Int'l, 2007 Amazing Value I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection. It captures many of the great operatic voices in stellar performances spanning the last 50 years. If you are enchanted by beautiful ...             Britten Conducts Britten Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Donald Francke, ... Decca, 2006             Wagner: Lohengrin Richard Wagner, Sir Georg Solti, ... Polygram Records, 1990 Wagner, Twain and Carlyle In his Tramp Abroad Mark Twain reports attending a performance of this opera and finding it intolerable. Specifically he complained that the opera was too loud. In reality he probably had no taste for anything but Stephen Foster songs; but his complaint reflects ...             The Berlioz Experience Thomas Allen [baritone], Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, ... Umvd Labels, 2003 Berlioz with immaginative variety This box makes a nice alternative to the Philips boxes under Colin Davis. Not to take anything away from Davis. His Berlioz cycle certainly ranks up there with the elite for recording achievements. But many will not want to invest in all 3 boxes, so Universal has ...             Britten: Holy Sonnets, Billy Budd, etc. / Britten, Glossop, Pears, et al Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Benjamin Luxon, ... Decca, 1989 TAKING OUR SALVATION ANY WAY IT COMES The strained economic situation of the classical music industry is working in many ways to our advantage as consumers. Britten's settings of Blake and Donne would never have been issued bundled together with Billy Budd in the vinyl era I'm quite sure. These days if we ...             Pachelbel's Greatest Hit: Canon in D Norman Fischer, Johann Pachelbel, ... RCA, 1991 fabulous ~~not enough stars!!

It is ...             Franck: Les Béatitudes Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Karl Christian Kohn, ... Gala, 2000 A tremendous recording I am astonished to be the first listener to comment on this set. Perhaps others were left speechless, in awe of Franck's score of sweeping majesty, Kubelik's glorious realization, and flawless performances throughout. Superb sonics Are a bonus in addition to the ...             Schubert: Lieder, Vol. 2 Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Franz Schubert, ... Polygram Records, 1993 LAS ROSAS DEL JARDIN Indudablemente, si de Lieder vamos hablar, los de Schubert son LA BIBLIA en la materia. Ningún otro compositor por más bueno que sea, llega acercarse a la belleza de los Lieder de Franz Peter Schubert, entre ellos me refiero concretamente a ilustres compositores como: ...             George Rochberg, Vol. 1 Norman Fischer, George Rochberg, ... Composers Recordings, 1997 A *GREAT* American symphony This CD contains some of Rochberg's early works: i.e. before he turned retro. The two chamber works are interesting, but the grand prize here is the Symphony #2, one of the few great American symphonies of the now nearly defunct 20th century. The New York ...             Richard Strauss: Ariadne auf Naxos Richard Strauss, Kurt Masur, ... Philips, 2005 Choosing the best Ariadne on CD Strauss's chamber opera, preceded by a theatrical spoof as a first act, has had devoted -- even besotted -- admirers since it first appeared. There have been half a dozen notable recordings in the modern era, but I think only four are serious rivals for top place. Let ...             The Music of Ellsworth Milburn Astrid Schween, Norman Fischer, ... Composers Recordings, 1997 great CD!! Milburn is a brilliant composer and deserves to have, at last, a national reputation. His colors are fresh and dynamic, his orchestration pristine, and his development of ideas compelling.          products you might be interested in   search for classical music 1950-1970, béatitudes, damoiselle, ellsworth, experience, lohengrin      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: All about Louisiana Birds
