Mendelssohn Symphony No. 3180g LP (Vinyl)
Otto Klemperer conducting the Phiharmonia Orchestra. Mendelssohn was one of the most gifted musicians of his age. Beginning to compose at the age of eleven he soon showed a degree of precociousness beside which even Mozart's must appear as less amazing. Mendelssohn enchants by an easy flow of graceful, elegantly tailored melody, by the perfection of his form and, in his orchestral works, by his instrumentation which is vivid, colorful and light. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Philharmonia Orchestra & lt;br & gt; Otto Klemperer, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1. & lt;b & gt;Overture & quot;The Hebrides & quot; (Fingal's Cave), Op. 26 & lt;br & gt; Symphony No. 3 in A minor ( & quot;Scotch & quot;) & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 2.

Wagner Siegfried The Ring Cycle 180g 5LP (Vinyl)
The most coveted performance of Wagner's legendary epic Ring Cycle was in fact recorded by Decca in Stereo live at the 1955 Bayreuth Festival. But until now, that lost performance has remained but a memory. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Thrillingly conducted by Joseph Keilberth (called by Astrid Varnay, & quot;a conductor with so much love, who was always there for you & quot;), the cycle provides the opportunity to hear complete for the first time on commercial release the definitive performances of Hans Hotter, Astrid Varnay and Paul Kuen, in addition to the much-loved Siegfried of Wolfgang Windgassen, here heard in his prime. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; These live Bayreuth performances were taped by a Decca team led by Peter Andry and including the noted engineers Kenneth Wilkinson and Roy Wallace, with Gordon Parry as assistant. Using a new six-channel mixer designed by Wallace, the team made both stereo and mono recordings of each opera. Three microphones were placed in the sunken orchestra pit and three were hanged from a lighting bridge about 20 feet above the stage. & quot;This was brilliant; it worked beautifully, & quot; remembers Wallace. The company prepared for an expected release, but John Culshaw, recently returned to Decca, vetoed the project. He disliked & quot;live & quot; recordings and already had plans for a studio Ring with Solti, which began four years later. Decca's recording vividly captures in wonderful stereo sound the unique acoustic and stage/pit balance of the Bayreuth Festival theatre with its sunken orchestra, in addition to preserving the leading singers from a Wagnerian golden age in live performance. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The revelations are the remarkable early stereo sound quality and Keilberth's elemental conducting. This Siegfried has an inexorable sweep that will take your breath away. The singing too is of a kind that you just don't hear today. The classical-record event of the year. Five stars. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;At the time Keilberth never seemed to receive his due his command of every aspect of this vast score is unerring in balance, detail and overall Schwung. No opera house or recording has since rivaled the cast assembled here, not even the Decca set, by which time Hotter, Windgassen and Neidlinger were all some ten years older. In 1955 all three are at the peak of their form. Don't take my word for it: buy the discs and experience Wagner as he was supremely performed in those special days. & quot; - Gramophone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;Magnificent is the only word for it. This is teamwork on an exalted scale. Keilberth was the first among equals in Wagner. & quot; The Independent & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Wolfgang Windgassen & lt;br & gt; Hans Hotter & lt;br & gt; Paul Kuen & lt;br & gt; Astrid Varnay & lt;br & gt; Gustav Neidlinger & lt;br & gt; Maria von Ilosvay & lt;br & gt; Joseph Greindl & lt;br & gt; Ilse Hollweg & lt;br & gt; Joseph Keilberth, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Richard Wagner (1813-1883) & lt;br & gt; Siegfried (Second Day of Stage Festival)
WAGNER GOTTERDAMMERUNG 6 LP BOX SET (Vinyl)
& lt;img src= & quot;/content/images/stereophilerecordstodiefor.jpg & quot; & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Richard Wagner was born in May 22, 1813 in Leipzig, Germany. Wagner is acknowledged as the master of German opera, and one of the most progressive composers in history. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; As a youth Wagner was fascinated by literature, particularly the plays of William Shakespeare. Through his teens he was increasingly attracted to composing. His opera based on the novel & quot;Rienzi, Last of the Tribunes, & quot; was produced in Dresden in 1842, and was a success. His next production, & quot;The Flying Dutchman & quot; (1843), was also a hit. Near the end of the 1840s Wagner began work on his monumental cycle of four musical dramas collectively titled & quot;Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelungs). & quot; This cycle, comprised of & quot;Das Rheingold, & quot; & quot;Die Walkure, & quot; & quot;Siegfried & quot; and & quot;Die Gotterdammerung, & quot; took 22 years to complete, and stands as one of the most remarkable and influential achievements in Western music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;Only on the shoulders of this great social movement can true art lift itself from its present state of civilized barbarianism, and take its post of honour. & quot; -Richard Wagner & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Leonid Borisovich Kogan was born on Nov. 14, 1924, in the Ukraine. His father played the violin as an amateur and the sound so fascinated the boy that by age 3 he would not go to sleep unless he had the fiddle beside him. After age 5 he began taking lessons on the instrument. He made his first public appearance playing, at age 10. His official concert debut came playing the Brahams Concerto with the Moscow Philharmonic in 1941. For the celebrated violinist, his interpretation of the Beethoven Concerto was one of the glories of his era; none of his contemporaries played it with such consistent stylistic command or such intellectual and spiritual penetration. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Full Analog Mono Production & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; First LP Release & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Leonid Kogan, violin & lt;br & gt; Paris Conservatoire Orchestra & lt;br & gt; Andre Vandernoot, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) & lt;br & gt; Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61 & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Canteloube Songs of the Auvergne 180g LP (Vinyl)
In the early 1930's, the French soprano Madeliene Grey made a famous recording of some of Joseph Canteloube's arrangements of folk songs from the mountainous French Auvergne region. But it was not until 1973 that this recording of a similar selection by Victoria de los Angeles brought Canteloube's attractive settings, with their colourful orchestrations, to a wider public. Chausson's gently flowing, romantic and even sensual Poeme de la'amour et de la mer makes an effective vehicle for the great Spanish soprano's beautiful voice and fine artistry. There are two vocal sections to the work, separated by a short orchestral interlude. In both works, De los Angeles' vivid vocal characterization is strongly supported by Lamoureux Orchestra under Jean-Pierre Jacquillat, all the richness, warmth and atmosphere of the original recordings are effectively re-created. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Chausson (Poeme De L'Amour Et De La Mer, Op. 19) & lt;br & gt; 2. Canteloube (Chants D'Auvergne)

He never reached the age of 36, yet remains one of the most fondly remembered of virtuoso violinists for listeners and fellow musicians. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Michael Rabin, violin & lt;br & gt; Philharmonia Orchestra & lt;br & gt; Alceo Galliera, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;br & gt; Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35 & lt;br & gt; 1.

Michael Rabin Bruch Scottish Fantasy, Etc. 180g LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Violin virtuoso Michael Rabin performs on this rare Columbia recording, pressed on 180 Gram Vinyl! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Michael Rabin managed to be one of the most talented and tragic violin virtuosi of his generation. Hailed as a child prodigy, his talent matured gracefully into an adult level, but he failed to follow in his emotional growth, resulting in a cutting short of his career. He never reached the age of 36, yet remains one of the most fondly remembered of virtuoso violinists for listeners and fellow musicians. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Sir Adrian Boult founded the BBC Symphony Orchestra which set standards of excellence in the orchestra world. In 1950, he took over the leadership of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and revived its reputation, which had been on the decline after its peak in the 1930s. From the mid-1960s until his retirement after his last sessions in 1978 he recorded extensively for EMI. Boult's legacy includes his influence on prominent conductors to follow including Colin Davis and Vernon Handley. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The Philharmonia Orchestra is one of the leading orchestras in Great Britain. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Michael Rabin is a very remarkable young violinist, and admirably equipped to give us our first LP recording of Wieniawski's rarely heard first concerto. It's not much of a concerto, considered dispassionately, but it is a stout vehicle for technical display, and that is just what Rabin, discreetly abetted by Boult and the Philharmonia, provides. He rides this aged war-horse with an almost Quixotic conviction that is enjoyable and rather touching. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Gramophone.net, J.N., June 1958 Issue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Michael Rabin, violin & lt;br & gt; Philharmonia Orchestra & lt;br & gt; Sir Adrian Boult, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;br & gt; Max Bruch (1838-1920) & lt;br & gt; Scottish Fantasy Op. 46 & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Bizet L'Arlesienne & Carmen Suites 180g LP (Vinyl)

The overture is fresh and rousing, the toreador theme marches in proudly and purposefully, followed by the destiny motif in the minor key which burns itself into ones ear and mind. With every bar it becomes obvious that this suite is not so much a series of excerpts but rather the true substance of its creator's musical ideas. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; All that remained of the five-act play L'Arlesienne after its unsuccessful premiere was Bizet's incidental music, which he himself orchestrated lavishly and premiered with success. Similar to Carmen, popular melodies are treated with the composer's own unique style to make them ageless. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Paris Conservatoire Orchestra & lt;br & gt; Andre Cluytens, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Georges Bizet (1838-1875) & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;br & gt; L'Arlesienne & lt;br & gt; Suite No. 1 & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
