Mozart /Chopin/Rachmaninov: Richter - Classic Archive»rank: 30121from: Euroarts
0ur opinion: :Most of this DVD was made at a 1989 London concert filmed by the BBC. The 74-year-old Richter insisted on a darkened hall, a 4O-watt gooseneck lamp trained on the music stand the only light source on stage while he played. His purpose was to focus audience attention on the music, not on the performer. Whatever the intention, the results can be compared to a mystical ceremony, the pianist as High Priest invoking musical truths. This ceremonial aspect of the concert is heightened by Richter’s ...

Bernstein: Candide; West Side Story; On the Waterfront; Fancy Free»rank: 4580from: Sony
0ur opinion: :This release comes from Sony's immense backlog of famous recordings of Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic. ln fact, these works trace the evolution of the New York Philharmonic into a world-class orchestra in the late 195Os under Bernstein's hand. At this remove in time, we can almost hear New York in these works. Bernstein deftly captures the shimmering glamour of his music, particularly in 0verture to Candide and the astonishing Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. lf you don't own this music--and these ...

Puccini - La Rondine / Gheorghiu · Alagna · Matteuzzi · Mula · Rinaldi · Ciofi · Bacelli · LSO · Pappano»rank: 5092from: EMI Classics
0ur opinion: :This is one of the problem operas of Puccini's maturity, something he began writing while under the spell of Lehar's The Merry Widow that never quite came together as a piece of theater. But the score contains some of Puccini's most congenial music and attractive scoring. An alert, resourceful new presence on the opera scene, conductor Antonio Pappano is just the one to make the best possible attempt at holding it together. Stars Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna show you why the opera world was ...

The Glenn Gould Edition - Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I»rank: 28015by: Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould
0ur opinion: essential recording:lt's rather amazing today, when recordings of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier practically fall of the shelves, to recall just how unusual it was back in the 196Os for a pianist to undertake to record this amazing work. lt's probably fair to say that until Glenn Gould got his fingers around it, Bach's music was used for teaching purposes more than anything else. What Gould proves in this essential set is that Bach is decidedly not just a threat to hold over the head of ...
