Elektra / Wea, 1992 a solid, exciting production, supurb sound Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov is so rich that it never can be encompassed by one interpretation, however strong.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sir Colin Davis, ... Philips, 1991 Zaide Even though it was found many years after Mozart died, the astonishing beauty of this work of art is ovious. The perfect choice of notes is such as only Mozart could have made it, and Zaide is something that has been left to us from this very wonderful composer.             Mozart - Il sogno di Scipione / Schreier, Popp, Gruberova, Ahnsjö, Moser, Mathis; Hager Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Leopold Hager, ...

Philips, 1991 A joy for the ears, and soul I agree with the writer who once wrote, that when asked his religion, replied "Mozart."
