Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms/Symphony in 3 Movements»rank: 46220from: CBS
0ur opinion: essential recording:Stravinsky was seldom the best conductor of his own music, but this disc of his three symphonies is an exception. ln the first place, none of them are all that difficult to conduct--at least compared to some of his earlier works--and he seems to have been in particularly good form throughout these recording sessions. He gets a particularly enthusiastic response from his Canadian forces in the Symphony of Psalms--one of this century's great choral masterworks, and seems to really enjoy the neo-classical elegance of the ...

Samuel Barber / Thomas Schippers»rank: 63081from: Sony
0ur opinion: :This classic disc has been the prime recommendation for Barber's short orchestral pieces since the early 196Os. Remastered onto CD for the first time, and with the addition of some other items conducted by Thomas Schippers, it sounds better than ever. All of Barber's music is blessed with the virtues of impeccable craftsmanship, tunefulness, and, above all, brevity. Although a Romantic by temperament, Barber had the gift of being able to fit a lot of emotional impact into a very small space. The famous Adagio for Strings ...

Bidu Sayao: Opera Arias and Brazilian Folksongs»rank: 74790by: Bidu Sayao, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Charles Gounod, Jules Massenet, Reynaldo Hahn, Henri Duparc, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Charles Koechlin, Ernest Moret, Francisco Ernani Braga, Fausto Cleva, Pietro Cimara, Erich Leinsdorf, Paul Breisach, Leonard Rose, Milne Charnley
0ur opinion: :Bidú Sayão's silvery, impeccably tuned voice was small in size, but rich in nuance, shading, and emotion. Her recording of the Villa-Lobos Bachiana Brasileira No. 5 is justly famous, unmatched for lightness and sensuality. Few have dashed off the Jewel Song from Faust with similar insouciance or imbued the last phrases of Manon's 'Adieu , notre petite table' as touchingly as Sayão does here. Her French song interpretations glow with charm and style, and a previously unreleased snippet from Ravel's L'enfant et les sotilèges makes one regret ...
