City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus & Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle

The music of the great Polish composer Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) has, until recently, been relatively neglected. Sir Simon Rattle's recordings, gathered together here for the first time, brought it before a new and receptive audience. This 4-CD set contains all the Szymanowski recordings that Sir Simon has made for EMI Classics. The collection contains some of the composer's best-known works: the two Violin Concertos, The Song of the Night, the beautiful Stabat Mater and the exquisite Love Songs of Hafiz. The set also contains Rattle's complete recording of the opera King Roger.

. . . striking productions of all 22 operas, plus a wealth of bonus interviews with conductors, singers, and other members of the artistic team . . . Part of the enticement lies with the casts and productions. Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), for example, features such top-tier artists as the spectacular Diana Damrau as the Queen of the Night, René Pape as a sterling, pensive High Priest Sarastro, and Paul Groves as Tamino . . . this performance of the opera is as compelling visually as it is vocally. Don't miss Pape's designer denim casuals and provocatively demonic goatee in the bonus section . . . Le Nozze di Figaro has a dream cast . . . Of these productions, 90% reflect the zeitgeist of new directors who tend to appeal to viewers of all ages. Some of the more obscure directors especially whet the appetite . . . On the levels of edification, enjoyment, and sheer entertainment-the last value sorely missing from many audio-only recordings-this remarkable project scores a solid 10. Record Review
