GENRE Opera<br />
It is a pity that one of the most acclaimed recordings of Rosenkavalier was only recorded as<br />
excerpts, but at over an hour, and including some of the absolute plums of scenes from the opera, it<br />
is rightly regarded as a gem among great recordings of Strauss’s music. Included are the<br />
Marchallin’s Act I monologue, the Presentation of the Rose, and naturally, the trio and final duet.<br />
“impassioned and youthful sounding [Söderström] … sensuous charm exerted by singers …<br />
superlative recording … I was nearly consumed by the burning flames of eroticism that Silvio<br />
Varviso kindles in the first half of the prelude! ... This is, I am sure, the best recording and<br />
performance of the music selected we have had so far” Gramophone<br />

Opera<br />
One of Fricsay’s last recordings, this sublime Figaro is once more restored to the catalogue.<br />
It boasts a Who’s Who of great Mozarteans from the late-1950s/early 1960s, including Irmgard<br />
Seefried, Maria Stader and Hertha Töpper, with, of course, the magnificent Fischer-Dieskau in<br />
incomparable form as the Count Almaviva.<br />
The extensive booklet notes include a synopsis, notes on the provenance of the opera and on the<br />
artists.<br />

Opera<br />
After a spell of recording with Decca, the legendary Wagnerian conductor Hans Knappertsbusch<br />
recorded for Westminster, and among his best recordings for this label is this 1961 recording of Fidelio.<br />
Boasting a cast of great singers at the Austrian and German opera houses, this recording includes the<br />
much-loved Sena Jurinac.<br />
“Sena Jurinac gives a deeply affecting performance in the Prison Scene … Jan Peerce was an<br />
unexpected but good choice for the hero. His singing is strong and clear; both words and musical<br />
phrases are firmly moulded; ardour and the ring of conviction inform his singing.” Gramophone<br />
