Gabriela Montero ó Piano Recital
This recording features piano works by the pillars of nineteenth-century Romantic piano composition (Chopin and Liszt), the Spanish-speaking musical nationalists (Granados, Ginastera, and de Falla), and the Russian composer-pianists (Scriabin and Rachmaninov) who reinterpreted the Romantic spirit in new and innovative ways for the piano.
MOZART: Requiem
Mozartís Requiem has become widely-known and popular since the 1984 movie Amadeus. Left incomplete at his death, his student and assistant Franz Xaver Sussmayr (1766-1803) completed the work from Mozartís notes.
VERDI: La Traviata
Could La Traviata be the opera with the most versions available on DVD? The appetite for the doomed heroine never wavers.

If Richard Wagnerís music may be seen to pervade the late nineteenth century, an area that is rarely discussed is his influence on song.
DOVE: Flight
For most of its 40 plus years the Adelaide Festival of Arts has had as its central attraction the Australian premieres of a landmark European opera like Wozzeck, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, The Fiery Angel or landmark contemporary works like Death in Venice, Nixon in China or El Nino presented within a few years of their world premieres.
