PUCCINI: TOSCA

Andris Nelsons / Boston Symphony Orchestra [19 CD Boxset] "Shostakovich: Symphonies, Concertos, Lady MacBeth of Mtsensk District" / In the fifty years since Shostakovich's death, his stature has only continued to grow, and he is now recognized as one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century. Was he a loyal servant or an embittered closet-dissident? For BSO music director Andris Nelsons, these questions are irrelevant, "The greatness of his music lies beyond politics. It speaks to people whether they know the times he lived in or not." 19 CD boxset. Verve Label Group; Deutsche Grammophon; Classical.

Williams' legacy with the Boston Pops is superbly represented in this boxed set which collects the albums made for Philips from his first decade at the helm of the orchestra.

Jessye also features on a second disc in this collection with the Pops, singing the Great American Songbook. The Philip Classics recordings constitute one of the most salient testimonies of the importance of Williams' Boston Pops tenure, and the most comprehensive showcase of the musical skills, the interpretive acumen, and the stylistic range of conductor John Williams.

Carlo Maria Giulini/Los Angeles Philharmonic -"Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" [180gram Black Vinyl 2xLP ] Beethoven began composing his Third Symphony shortly after his increasing deafness and suicidal thoughts became public knowledge. The 'heroic' style of this symphony can be interpreted as a musical expression of his triumph over personal suffering. But the symphony also has enormous musical significance: with the 'Eroica,' Beethoven expanded the symphonic form and thus changed the expectations of a four-part symphony for the next two centuries. Giulini's recording with Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra is highly regarded as reference recording. 2-LP set, 180g viny

Anne-Sophie Mutter / Berliner Philharmoniker / Herbert von Karajan - Mozart: Violin Concertos Nos. 3 & 5 [180g LP] Some sensations occur without much ado, as they seem to be a matter of course. One such sensation took place at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall in 1978 when Herbert von Karajan introduced the 14-year-old violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter to the public in Mozart's G major Concerto. Karajan invited Mutter to make her concerto debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival in 1977, which led to their collaboration on this recording. Despite sending her away to mature for a year after their initial meeting, the second session was a success and a lesson that Mutter has never forgotten. "We sat next to each other studying the score as the daylight died, too engrossed to turn on the lights, and he talked about legato and bow changes and fingerings. Whenever I said, 'This is not possible, maestro,' he'd say, 'I don't care if it is violinistically possible; it must be musically possible. Everything you do must be driven from the point of view of music making.'" 180g vinyl.
