Mozart: Requiem / Auger, Ziegler, Hadley, Krause, Shaw

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, ...

Telarc, 1990

Shaw is the best
This performance of the Requiem is meticulous and rhythmically brilliant, which is one of Shaw's legacies. I have noticed, over the last thirty years, that conductors often miss the juxtaposition of rhythm in the Rex Tremendae. The strings have double dotted rhythm; ...

The Essential Placido Domingo

Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, ...

Sony BMG, 2004

Great for what it is
I agree with the previous poster that this does not contain his great dramatic stuff like otello/wagner, but the collection is a beautiful one. There are some great recordings here, and his crossover stuff(maria, Dulcinea, impossible dream) is very interesting. His ...

Monteverdi/Henze - Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria / Jeffrey Tate, Salzburg Festival (1985)

Thomas Allen, Kathleen Kuhlmann

Kultur Video, 1997

Monteverdi & Henze - A Great Match!
This is one of my very favorite videos. Allen's double duty as L'Umana fragilita & Ulisse makes perfect sense. I think the work goes to another level when this pairing is practiced. Allen is naked enough for us to get the idea. Ideally, L'Umana fragilita SHOULD be ...

Ute Lemper - Berlin Caberet Songs

Mischa Spoliansky, Friedrich Hollaender, ...

Decca, 1997

Ute, Ute, what would we do without you (and these songs)?
This album is absolutely to DIE for! These songs, as everyone knows, are still very effective today, so it is schocking to think that they were first written in the 1920s and `30s. But when you are supressed (like the Germans were during this time) things come ...

Divenire

Ludovico Einaudi, Robert Ziegler, ...

Ponderosa Italy, 2008

Fantastique!
One of the most beautiful compilations of piano music I have ever heard. Mesmerizing! I'll leave the more technical reviews to the music professionals. As a piano music lover I can only say that I've listened to this CD for so many hours that I hear it in my dreams. ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 8 "Symphony of a Thousand"

William Stone, Kenneth Cox, ...

Telarc, 1991

Shamefully Underrated
I couldn't say it any better, i prefer this to the other recording i have (Solti), this sounds much more authentic and might i say at a bargain price. start your exploration of Mahler's 8'th here.

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 ...

The Power & The Majesty: Essential Choral Classics

Robert Shaw Festival Singers, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Choruses

Telarc, 1995

Best of American Choral Singing!
This CD could be the cornerstone of your choral music library! Wonderful performances of all of the essential choral pieces give a wonderful introduction to choral music for someone new to it, and also give a nice sampler of the best pieces for someone already familiar ...

Bach: Mass in B minor / McNair, Ziegler, Simpson, Aler, Stone, Paul; Shaw

Johann Sebastian Bach, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, ...

Telarc, 1990

Indescribably Beautiful and Ingenious
This remains the best recording of the B minor mass that I have ever heard. Each and every phrase soars to new levels. This recording, and of course, this mass, uplift the listener spiritually and intellectually. I own two other recordings of this mass, another by ...

Absolute Heaven

William Stone, John Cheek, ...

Telarc, 1997

I may be musically challanged but....
This is one of those recordings that would have a hole worn in it from overuse if CD's were capable of getting holes from being used. This is the most used CD in my entire collection. I love it! It picks me up when I am down and it quiets me when I am high. It send ...

The Best of Bach
William Stone, Thomas Paul, ...

Telarc, 2001

Von der Königlichen Hofoper zur Staatsoper Unter den Linden
Eugen d' Albert, Vincenzo Bellini, ...

Preiser Records, 1998

Sony Classical: Great Performances 1903-1998

Giuseppe Campanari, Edgar Meyer, ...

Sony, 1999

A touch of history....
An exceptional set. The history of music making of the 20th century in 4 CDs. Even from the first track with Giuseppe Campanari and Charles Adams Prince you can see that people put much time in collecting the best interpretations and putting together an amazing ...
