“Curzon's 1962 account of Brahms No. 1 with Szell remains one of the work's finest recordings: noble, dramatic, poetic. His Brahms No. 2 with Knappertsbusch is excellent too.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2009 ***** | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Josef Krips was at the forefront of the Mozart revival in the years following World War II with highly acclaimed and celebrated performances at Salzburg and other impoortant venues. This recording of Don Giovanni was made in 1955 and quickly achieved classic status. "Consistently satisfying, with a cast of all-round quality headed by the dark-toned Don of Cesare Siepi." The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs “A 1955 classic that still captivates thanks to Krips's darkly dramatic atmosphere and a ripe Viennese cast headed by Siepi's richly Italianate seducer, sardonic Corena and the brilliant Della Casa. Excellent early stereo.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2009 **** “Freshly remastered, it sounds better than ever...Its intense, dramatic account of the Don's disappearance into hell has rarely been equalled and never surpassed on CD...As a bass Don, Siepi (a wonderful, truly great singer) is marvellously convincing, but there is hardly a weak link in the rest of the cast” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
