Wagner - Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg / Kollo · Donath · Adam · G. Evans · Schreier · Hesse· Riderbusch · Karajan»rank: 62246by: Richard Wagner, Herbert von Karajan, René Kollo, Helen Donath, Siegfried Vogel, Ruth Hesse, Karl Ridderbusch, Staatskapelle Dresden, Geraint Evans, Peter Schreier, Hermann Christian Polster, Zoltan Keleman, Eberhard Buchner, Horst Lunow, Hans Joachim Rotzsch, Horst Hiestermann, Heinz Reeh, Theo Adam

Gilbert & Sullivan - Operettas / Pro Arte Orchestra · Sir Malcolm Sargent»rank: 21471by: Gilbert & Sullivan, Sir Malcolm Sargent, Monica Sinclair, George Baker, Heather Harper, Elizabeth Harwood Owen Brannigan
0ur opinion: :The advent of stereo brought forth two competing Gilbert and Sullivan cycles that retain their classic status in divergent ways. Seasoned Savoyards lean towards Decca's D'0yly Carte recordings, where the use of singing actors and inclusion of dialogue add up to a palpable theatrical experience. By contrast, EMl's competing cycle featured some of Britain's finest operatic singers of the 195Os and '6Os, who largely command both music and text on equal terms. The nine operettas in this series conducted ...
