Michael Studer is a remarkable pianist who, although he studied in Paris and Vienna, is not well-known outside his native Switzerland. Since 2000, he has suffered from a hearing disability which tragically caused premature retirement, and CLAVES have gathered together his best recordings, made between 1971 and 1999, into this handsome 6-disc tribute. For the unbeatable price of just one CD, here is a unique chance to discover a rare talent, placed genunely and directly at the service of each composer in turn. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

5 April 2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Herbert von Karajan, the legendary Austrian-born conductor who achieved a position of musical supremacy as director of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra that made him one of the most famous and celebrated conductors of the second half of the twentieth century. While the majority of his symphonic recordings were made for Deutsche Grammophon, von Karajan also recorded for Decca and EMI during the 1950s and 1960s. This set is reissued to mark this momentous anniversary and contains all of his orchestral recordings made with the Vienna Philharmonic for Decca during the late 1950s/early 1960s. One of the most celebrated of these – and a composer he was closely identified with, is Richard Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra – a recording heard by countless people around the globe as the opening was used on the soundtrack for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. “Karajan's short spell with Decca produced some of his finest recordings with the VPO. In that category here are the Richard Strauss tone-poems, performances full of character and sharply detailed. One marvels at the wide dynamic range of Also sprach Zarathustra (1959) as much for the recording as for the thrilling orchestral virtuosity.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

These recordings were made at the end of the 1940’s at the time that magnetic recordings were being introduced in the USSR. The first (German) recordings appeared at Moscow radio in 1945 and shortly afterwards they began to be produced in the USSR. These are important documents from this time and provide a fascinating insight into early recording techniques. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
