Rachmaninov and Glinka: Lieder • Songs • Chants
Originally released by Deutsche Grammophon in 1976, this recording of selected songs by Sergei
Rachmaninov (1873-1943) and Mikhail Glinka (1804-57) make available some fine examples of
Russian art song to Western audiences.
ADAM: Le Postillon de Longjumeau
Why should anyone buy a German language broadcast of a delicious French opéra-comique?
Bach Cantatas, Volume 21
John Eliot Gardiner’s Bach Cantata Pilgrimage continues to echo with the release of concert
recordings of this historic millennial tour.
WAGNER: Tannhäuser
As familiar Richard Wagner’s Tannhäuser is, the opera benefits from solid performances that bring together fine singing, exquisite orchestral playing, and effective staging, and the Metropolitan Opera’s 1982 production conducted by James Levine gave audiences an exemplary performance that remains a touchstone for this work.
BIZET: Carmen
OpÈra comique in four acts.
Music composed by Georges Bizet (1838-1875). Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic HalÈvy after Prosper MÈrimÈe’s novella, Carmen.
