classical music: Eugen Jochum ...     classical music:       An Die Musik (Bonus Dvd) (Dig)1 review Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 An excellent overview of Dietrich Fischer Dieskau with Deutsche Grammophon "An die Musik", aptly named after the famous Schubert lied of the same title, is an excellent overview of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's recorded output for Deutsche Grammophon over the past 56 years. On the CDs, there are six Schubert lieder from Fischer-Dieskau's 21 disc set with pianist Gerald Moore, (dating from ca. 1970) and other lieder by Wolf, Richard Strauss, Brahms, and Schoeck. Also ...             Carl Orff: Carmina Burana39 reviews Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Carl Orff, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 The IDEAL of all recordings! This is Jochum's stereo remake recording of 1968, the original made in horrible mono early in 1950. By far and wide his remake is so much of a stunning success that is has achieved classic status, and has not been out of print once since it's original release. Eugen Jochum was a long time friend of Carl Orff's and even though Carl Orff was present in both recordings he gave his official ...             Beethoven: Violin Concerto; Romances 1 & 2 Ludwig van Beethoven, Eugen Jochum, ... Deutsche Grammophon/PolyGram Classics, 1990             Hallelujah: 35 Great Choruses3 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Sparrow, 2004 lovely works... Excellent selections... my favorite is the Sanctus by Gounod. The music seems to build in the blood... the organ being the heartbeat. If you turn the volume up just right... a memorable experience. Beautiful!             Bach at Bedtime: Lullabies for the Still of the Night12 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Karl Mnchinger, ... Philips, 1995 Mellow, Sleepy, Wonderful I bought this CD for myself, a 60 year old. I have trouble sleeping and have been buying CDs by this company. They are all wonderful. I'm asleep in about 15 minutes!             Wagner: Overtures & Preludes13 reviews Richard [Classical] Wagner, Karl Bhm, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1995 Perfect Wagner. Superb recordings of Wagner. Especially Lohengrin, Prelude to Act 1 which is by far the best recording of that piece, with the perfect tempo.             Richard Strauss: 5 Great Tone Poems6 reviews Richard [1] Strauss, Bernard Haitink, ... Philips, 1994 Sensational Strauss at an Excellent Price Before discussing this great reissue I thought I'd give a little provenance to these recordings. Far too many people today simply don't realize these CDs were once long playing records, since the majority of buyers have never owned a record player! Many years ago - when you could buy several gallons of gas for a single dollar - the recording world was all about long playing records. As the ...             Bruckner: Die 3 Messen/Masses Nos. 1-3/Les Messes7 reviews Anton Bruckner, Eugen Jochum, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 An excellent set Compared to the symphonies, Bruckner's masses have much of the same smoldering power and sense of grandeur, but in a far more serene - angelic - framework. They do perhaps lack the grand sense of purpose of the symphonies, but pretty much manage to make up for that with different means, proving without a trace of doubt that Bruckner was a master without peers when it came to writing for choral ...             Haydn: The 12 "London" Symphonies [Box Set]16 reviews Franz Joseph Haydn, Eugen Jochum, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2003 Better than 4 stars I'm prompted to write this review by our Haydn fan: There's a story about Brahms listening to a performance of his first piano concerto, turning to his friend sitting next to him and saying, "You can play it that way, too." Most of us would never think that one conductor would reveal everything there is to reveal in a Beethoven or Mozart symphony; why would we think differently about Haydn? ...             Brahms: Concertos for Piano No. 1 & 2, Fantasia Op. 11635 reviews Johannes Brahms, Eugen Jochum, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 Scary Jochum said this recording was the best thing he'd ever done, but obviously impressions vary. Maybe I had the advantage of limited expectations and a personal crisis the first time I heard it, but it literally made me shudder. The opening sequence, which others here have described as "ponderous," struck me with an almost religious clarity. I found it utterly convincing - a revelation, ...             Symphonies 1-915 reviews Bruckner, Jochum Deutsche Grammophon, 2003 Used this is One Great Bargain! Bruckner is amongst my favorite composers of the 19th century's second half. That is, he is a favorite when he is properly presented. I've heard Jochum several times in person playing these works and own most if not all his other versions on CD as well. This set is better played than the EMI/Dresden version, although that one has more "guts" because the orchestra is going all out at every ...             Beethoven, Mozart: Violin Concertos / Schneiderhan, Jochum10 reviews Beethoven, Mozart, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 SPECIAL BEETHOVEN... This is a special realization, and no mistake! We're so used to hearing the Kreisler cadenzas in Beethoven's Violin Concerto, that Schneiderhan's reworking of Beethoven's adaptation for piano strikes us as stunning. This is an unusual thing: Beethoven prepared a piano version for his unique Violin Concerto. Since Beethoven did not write the cadenzas for the violin version--(he did, ...             Brahms: 4 Symphonien12 reviews Johannes Brahms, Eugen Jochum, ... Dg Imports, 1996 Another 5 Stars for Jochum's Brahms I've heard and been dissatisfied with many recordings of these symphonies. Von Karajan immediately puts me off in the intro to the 1st with the tympani inaudibly buried beneath his typically overweight strings. Klemperer, though one of my favorite conductors, affirms his reputation for dragging allegros. Haitink is too civilized, cool and restrained. Toscanini was at his best with Brahms, but ...             Lohengrin5 reviews Wagner, Nilsson Opera D'oro, 1998 One of the best-sung and well-acted versions available The cast of this Lohengrin is superb. Windgassen presents a genuinely moving portrayal of Lohengrin, especially in the monologue. In her debut season at Bayreuth, Nilsson offers a beautifully sung and well-characterized Elsa. Her silvery tone is perfect for the naive and inexperienced young woman. Varnay is an unparalleled Ortrud. Her frightening intensity makes other interpreters of this role ...             The Art of Fritz Wunderlich [Box Set]5 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 I wish I could give this release more than 5 stars: it's terrific!!! I knew little about the German tenor Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), except reading the accolades given to his recordings and performances by reviewers in "American Record Guide" over the past 13 years. I knew Wunderlich recorded the role of Tamino in the famous DG recording of Mozart's "Die Zauberflote", with Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic (Now on DG Originals CDs), but was not aware of what a ...             Mass in B Minor2 reviews Bach, Donath, ... EMI Classics, 2005 Even more solid Jochum's first recording of the Mass in B minor (Bach: Mass in B minor/Mass in F) was as solid a reading as one is likely to find: not outstanding, but not awful. In this, the third of his three recordings, Jochum's performance is much improved in many ways. The forces he uses are again rather large for the prevailing trends in Bach scholarship (but who cares for all of that?), and the ...             Carmina Burana2 reviews Orff, Janowitz, ... Polygram Records, 1988 A benchmark recording - still today, more than forty years later This version was recorded in 1967 and has been considered ever since as the benchmark version - and rightly so. The 1967 sound holds up very well, with only slight traces of congestion in the louder climaxes. It has been recently reissued on DG's Originals as Carl Orff: Carmina Burana, but the sound of this first CD reissue from 1988 was already very good. Choral and orchestral work is superb, ...             Bruckner: Te Deum, Motets, Psalm 150 / Jochum, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra6 reviews Anton Bruckner, Eugen Jochum, ... Dg Imports, 1999 THE OTHER SIDE OF BRUCKNER Jochum was a prominent advocate of Bruckner, and whether or not there are other available versions of this sacred music I imagine he and his Berlin choir and orchestra will be the first port of call both for committed Brucknerians and for the rest of us. 7 of the 15 pieces here were recorded between 1966 and 1971. The dates of the others, including the final Psalm 150 in which the recording shows ...             Trionfi (Trittico teatrale): Carmina Burana, Catulli Carmina, and Trionfo di Afrodite5 reviews Carl Orff, Eugen Jochum, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2003 ribald, raw, and wonderful ! Rousing and wild, this is a fabulous recording of Orff's "Carmina Burana". It has a lot of lively fire to it, and has not been tamed in the sudden soft/loud changes, making it one of your neighbor's worst nightmares, second only to Wagner operas. "Carmina Burana" is a favorite of Madison Avenue ad-meisters, and is used on TV to sell everything from movie promos to toilet bowls, so even if you ...             Bruckner: The Complete Symphonies28 reviews Anton Bruckner, Eugen Jochum, ... EMI Classics, 2000 If I Could Have Only One Set of Bruckner Symphonies? Both of Jochum's "complete Bruckner symphonies" have long satisfied collectors of every stripe. They're performed by one of Bruckner's greatest interpreters and in the EMI set he is at the helm of a unique sounding group of players, the Dresden Staatskapelle Orchestra. It stands up well under "desert island" scrutiny. The difference between the DGG and EMI versions has more to do with the ...              search for classical music afrodite, bedtime, beethoven, bruckner, carmina, catulli, choruses, complete, concerto, concertos, fantasia, hallelujah, lohengrin, lullabies, messes, orchestra, overtures, philharmonic, preludes, richard, romances, schneiderhan, strauss, symphonien, symphonies, teatrale, trionfi, trionfo, trittico, wunderlich classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
