classical music: Richard Strauss     classical music:     Richard Strauss      Great Recordings Of The Century - Strauss, R.: Salome / Karajan, Behrens, Van Dam, Baltsa, et al Richard Strauss, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, ... EMI Classics, 1999 An ode to sensuousness. Generally, late 1970's and 1980's Karajan studio recordings, to my liking at least, must be approached with care and even mistrust. His immense talent not being the subject of discussion, yet as he aged he tended to give a lot more attention to how things were played, ...             Live in Vienna, Limited Edition (CD & DVD) Imre (Emmerich) Kalman, Franz Lehar, ... Denon Records, 2008 Limited Fun and Satisfaction If you prefer having Andre's music in CD format you'll enjoy the selections on this CD. The DVD is a bonus piece with selections from several of his other DVD shows. It's a good DVD sampler, but only whets your appetite for more. If you prefer sitting down to a full ...             Four Last Songs Antonin Dvorak, Jules Massenet, ... Decca, 2008 'Habe dank!' This very generous two disc release has so many positive aspects that it hopefully will manage to garner the attention of music lovers around the world despite the negative comments being published in some quarters. Fame of an artist is accompanied by that very public ...             Richard Strauss: Salome [Remastered] Richard Strauss, Georg Solti, ... Decca, 2006 A Masterpiece of an Opera Recording. A Great Success!! This is the first opera I ever bought. I bought it as a gift to a friend of mine, who kindly invited me over his house for a week in Santander. He let me make a copy, and until now, all I had was a copy of it. Now DECCA has remastered this excellent recording and ...             25 Thunderous Classics Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ... Vox (Classical), 2000 You will like this! I had purchased an abundance of the "Favorites" collection and some were better than others. This CD is at the top of them all. They may be short, but not that short. Wondrous music. I can almost guarantee that you will like this music. Well worth the price!             Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies Beethoven's Wig Rounder / Umgd, 2004 A must for Beethoven's Wig fans There are just as many great sing alongs in this CD as in the first. Most of the tracks are very singable (the Brahms piece is difficult). Lots of fun and plenty of goofy lyrics.             Pavarotti's Greatest Hits Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ... Decca, 2007 Excellent Survey of Pavarotti's Work For someone who is already a student of opera, this dual set will probably be somewhat redundant. However, if you are curious about opera in general or are unfamiliar with Pavarotti's recordings, this is an excellent anthology. I bought it as two cassettes some 20 ...             Four Last Songs Richard Strauss, Christian Thielemann, ... Decca, 2008 Strauss singing at the highest level of achievement It says something sad about the current state of opera recordings that Renee Fleming hasn't been given a complete Strauss role on disc, not the Marschallin or Ariadne. As evidenced here, she is uniquely gifted to assume those roles, as well as to sing Strauss's ...             The Three Tenors Christmas Adolphe Adam, Fermin Maria Alvarez, ... Sony, 2000 First Christmas Album I bought for myself Album is great. For any other holiday music, just listen to your local radio station that plays it during December.             The Most Famous Opera Duets Eberhard Wächter, Georges Bizet, ... EMI Classics, 1994 Beautiful duets... This CD is really awesome. I'm new to opera, but love the music on this CD. I use opera music in my CD clock radio (Timex from Amazon) to fall asleep to. What a way to fade into dreamland.             Favorite Waltzes Iosif Ivanovici, Johann II Strauss, ... EMI Classics, 1995 Wonderful This album is wonderful listening. It's one of the favorites in my entire collection.             Richard Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier / Te Kanawa, Howells, Haugland, Bonney, Solti, Schlesinger (The Royal ... Kiri Te Kanawa, Aage Haugland Kultur Video, 2004 Delightful I thoroughly enjoyed this performance. Both the singing and the acting were superb. I really cannot imagine that Te Kanawa's Marschallin can be bettered and Anne Howell's Oktavian was an eye-opener for me. If you want a moving and well acted performance you can't do ...             Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra, Don Juan / Karajan Richard Strauss, Herbert von Karajan, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 The greatest recording of Zarathustra ? Karajan and his beloved Berlin Philharmonic have been accused of "over indulgency" (for example, in the complete recordings of the Beethoven Symphonies, also available on Deutsche Gramaphon). However, the same cannot be said for this recording. Lustrous strings, ...             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.
