A deluxe edition re-mastered and remixed for SACD surround sound from the original acclaimed recording made in 1999. CD received glowing reviews and is in the Gramophone Best CDs and DVDs Yearbook. Steve Davislim is a highly sought after Australian tenor based in Vienna who has established a stellar international career working with the most prestigious orchestras and conductors in Europe, the USA and Australia. Davislim’s voice is full of colour and warmth and informed in every note by an all too rare combination of intelligence and imagination: “it’s almost enough to make you believe in God” St Petersburg Times. Recording debut of Australian-born Simone Young, recognised as one of the leading conductors of her generation and Music Director of Hamburg State Opera. First of a series of five CDs that Steve Davislim is making with Melba, including Schubert’s song-cycle Winterreise and the world premiere recording of Saint-Saëns’ 1-act opera Hélène. CD notes by distinguished Strauss biographer Michael Kennedy. Digipak with picture disc and 30-page colour booklet with essay and aria translations. “An outstanding recital by an excellent young tenor singing superb Strauss… [Davislim] is worth being spoken of in the same breath as his notable predecessors – Peter Anders and Fritz Wunderlich – praise can hardly be higher than that.” Gramophone
“The years drop off Richard Strauss... in this new disc of his orchestrated songs... [Davislim’s] lithe, rhythmically and verbally alert tenor has the red blood surging from the start...” BBC Music Magazine (on Original CD Release) | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

35 CD + CD-ROM (including Stephen Jay Taylor's 'Richard Strauss: The Man and his Music') A superb collection of some of the greatest performances of Richard Strauss’s orchestral, operatic, chamber and vocal works, brought together in a stunning 35-CD edition of fantastic value. The collection begins with a survey of Strauss’s orchestral music, including the supremely popular symphonic poems - Don Juan, Don Quixote, Also sprach Zarathustra, Till Eulenspiegel, Tod und Verklärung, Eine Alpensinfonie and Ein Heldenleben are included, together with comparatively rare orchestral works such as the wonderful Burlesque for piano and orchestra. These recordings, performed by the Staatskapelle Dresden and conducted by Rudolf Kempe, are a particular highlight of this box set, some of the greatest recordings of the classical catalogue. Of Kempe’s Aus Italien, Gramophone stated:‘The Dresden orchestra play superbly and this version undoubtedly sweeps the board’. Of another release in the series, Gramophone commented: ‘the splendour of the Dresden orchestra is most impressive: at that period and under this conductor they may have had equals in this music but surely no superiors’. An extensive survey of Strauss’s chamber music, performed by major international instrumentalists including Wolfgang Sawallisch (piano), Erno Sebestyen (violin), Wenn-Sinn Yang (cello) and the Sinnoffer Quartet. Includes definitive performances of Strauss’s best-loved operas – Der Rosenkavelier, Elektra, Salome, Die Frau ohne Schatten, Ariadne auf Naxos plus the rarely heard Friedenstag. In particular, Herbert von Karajan’s Der Rosenkavalier remains unsurpassed.‘It really does triumph over them all - even the outstanding 1969 Solti/Decca - and the triumph is, almost entirely, Schwarzkopf's own’, wrote Gramophone. This comprehensive box set concludes with 3 CDs of Lieder, including the enduringly popular Four Last Songs sung by Charlotte Margiono and a disc of historical recordings accompanied by Richard Strauss on piano. A truly unique set (the only one on the market!):The Richard Strauss Edition. Contains a wealth of repertoire: the complete Orchestral Works, the complete Chamber Music, a generous selection of songs, the most famous operas and a disc of rare choral works. A fitting tribute to one of the most important Late-Romantic composers, who for such a long period reflected his “Zeitgeist” in his fascinating and highly personal music. A star studded line-up of famous Strauss interpreters: Rudolf Kempe and his Staatskapelle Dresden (a Strauss orchestra par excellence!), Herbert von Karajan, Joseph Keilberth, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Karl Böhm, and vocalists Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Alessandra Marc, Deborah Voigt, Anne Sofie von Otter, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Charlotte Margiono. Containing a historical recording of songs accompanied by Richard Strauss himself on the piano. Liner notes included on CD-ROM. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
