classical music: Otto Klemperer     classical music:     Otto Klemperer      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 ...             Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde Gustav Mahler, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 1999 The Most Poetic Das Lied von der Erde Otto Klemperer was a majestic force of nature during the 50s to the 70s who offered one of the most old-fashioned, granitic interpretations of classical music. His Beethoven stands perhaps at the pantheon of the composer's greatest aural representations, and his ...             Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem [A German Requiem] Johannes Brahms, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 1999 Real Brahms He understand Brahms and the performances are superb. Buy this recording and you will be very happy.             EMI Great Recordings of Century - Brahms: Symphonies Nos. 1-4/Klemperer Johannes Brahms, Philharmonia Orchestra, ... EMI Classics, 2004 Karajan or Klemperer in Brahms? Otto Klempeerer owes his late career in London and on EMI records to von Karajan. Since its founding in 1949, the Philharmonia Orch. was closely allied with Karajan, who built it up as his own career took off after the war. But when Furtwangler died in 1954 and his ...             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 ...             Missa Solemnis in D major, op.123 L.V. Beethoven, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 2001 Should you buy the latest remastering of this classic recording? By any measure the Missa Solemnis is almost impossible to faithfully record, given that the engineers must find a way to balance orchestra, solo quartet, and a large chorus, a total of two hundred performers trying to live up to Beethoven's cosmic conception. Recording ...             Sacred Classics - Messiah, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Zadok the Priest, L'enfance du Christ George Frideric Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... EMI Classics, 2003 A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pieces. Of particular quality is the recording ...             Wagner: Orchestral Music Richard Wagner, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 2002 The ultimate Wagner orchestral music I have these CDs for almost 15 years before they became a 2-CD set and still play them regularly. Got to know Wagner from the classical Furtwangler cycle, for many the best Wagner music ever recorded. Although Furtwangler is exceptional I do not think that it can ...             Beethoven: The Complete Symphonies and Piano Concertos Hans Hotter, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... EMI Classics, 2000 Great performances These are classic, fine performances of the Beethoven symphonic and piano concerto canon by one of the great artists of the 20th century. They are not necessarily the most passionate or electrifying of Klemperer's recorded legacy; those belong to many of the live ...             Mozart: Die Zauberflote Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 2000 A glorious achievement, brimming with magic and wonder Walter Klemperer's historic 1964 recording of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte is a genius in operatic productions. Unlike Le Nozze di Figaro or Don Giovanni, Mozart's final opera is so dramatically convoluted and ridiculous that the recitatives provide more of a source of ...             Wagner: Wesendonck Lieder & Isoldes Liebestod/Brahms: Alto Rhapsody/Mahler: 5 Lieder - Christa Ludwig, Otto ... Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ... EMI Classics, 2006 Musicianship at the most inspired level Most lovers of Klemperer and Ludwig will already own all these classic 60s performances, but they have been scattered across a range of reissues--not always in the best sound--and now we have them all together and remastered. It's no exaggeration to say that every ...             Very Best of Mirella Freni EMI Classics, 2003 My growing affection Freni is a soprano I didn't much care for in the past. For some reason I took her for granted and didn't listen to her records a lot. However, in search for an lyric soprano with ample coloratura to tackle bel canto roles as well, Freni was one of the few I could think ...             Mozart: Symphonies Nos 29, 35 (Haffner), 38 (Prague), 39, 40, and 41 (Jupiter) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 2006 Newly discovered rarity here At first I thought this Great Performances reissue of Otto Klemperer's Mozart symphony recordings was just another repackaging by EMI of music that was already in my collection. But then a few words on the track listing told me otherwise. In 1956, Klemperer and the ...             Mahler: Symphony No. 2 / Klemperer, Philharmonia Orchestra Gustav Mahler, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 2000 Oldie but Goodie This is a majestic and stately recording. But I find it pretty exciting too. Did NOT find the tempos "too slow" as some contend. I own several versions of this symphony. But is is my favorite. Technical quality is pretty good and no faults stand out. This recording is ...             Beethoven: Piano Concertos 1-5/Choral Fantasia - Daniel Barenboim, Otto Klemperer, New Philharmonia Orchestra ... Ludwig van Beethoven, Otto Klemperer, ... EMI Classics, 2006 Great performances, not so great audio engineers I am a big fan of Klemperer and Barenboim and I did enjoy these performances, but my enjoyment was negatively affected by the very audible audio distortion. These discs date from the mid 60s and, from the audio engineers standpoint, they sound FAR WORSE than the ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music orchestral, philharmonia, recordings, symphonies, wesendonck, zauberflote      toavi.com    web randomly chosen VHS: 8 Minute Legs
