| |  | Schnittke - Film Music Volume 2
Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Frank Strobel “…it’s a matter for some rejoicing that the quantities of this music are now becoming available, for the
first time on disc…It’s a task for which Strobel is almost uniquely qualified. Not only has his career
been intimately meshed with film music…he was also closely associated with Schnittke…Designed to
accompany moving images rather than to demand our full attention, this film music is transparent,
uncluttered and wonderfully direct…It amply rewards full attention…The performances are spirited
and committed and Steffen Georgi’s elegantly translated booklet notes are both intelligent and
informative. For Schnittke lovers, the disc is essential; for everyone else, it’s most warmly
recommended.” Christopher Ballantine, International Record Review | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Elisabeth Schwarzkopf sings Cornelius & Weber
Cornelius: | The Barber of Baghdad Recorded 11th-12th and 14th-15th May, 1956 in the Town Hall, Watford and in EMI Abbey Road Studio No. 1, London Oskar Czerwenka, Gerhard Unger, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Grace Hoffman, Nicolai Gedda & Hermann Prey Philharmonia Chorus and Orchestra, Erich Leinsdorf | Weber: | Abu Hassan Recorded in Berlin in 1944 Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Erich Witte & Michael Bohnen Berlin Radio Symphony Chorus and Orchestra, Leopold Ludwig |
When this recording of Peter Cornelius’s sparkling German comedy Der Barbier von Bagdad was released in 1957, The Gramophone reviewer remarked that “there is no mistaking the enjoyment which the cast find in the work – an enjoyment seemingly shared by the orchestra and the chorus… Outstanding in this company is Oskar Czerwenka, who very obviously relished the verbal humour in his part and gives a splendid comic performance… Nicolai Gedda is on his best form, and Schwarzkopf brings distinction to [her] part”. The 1944 recording of Weber’s delightful one-act Singspiel Abu Hassan, based on The Arabian Nights, features Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Erich Witte as “a very melodious pair of lovers, Michael Bohnen revels in his buffo part, and Leopold Ludwig keeps the little opera moving briskly” The Gramophone, July 1961 |

| |  | Wolfgang Windgassen sings WagnerHere, in extracts from eight Wagner operas he displays all the lyrical and dramatic qualities of his beautifully natural voice to great advantage. Annelies Küpper also appears, as Elizabeth, in an extended extract from Tannhäuser.
Wolfgang Windgassen (tenor) Bamberger Symphoniker, Münchener Philharmoniker & Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Richard Kraus, Ferdinand Leitner & Leopold Ludwig To this day Wagner presents special challenges to every singer, and natural Wagner interpreters are rare. One such was the unforgettable Wolfgang Windgassen, the leading postwar Heldentenor, who sang all the major tenor roles – from Rienzi, Tannhäuser and Lohengrin to Siegfried, Tristan and Parsifal – at Bayreuth from 1951 to 1970 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
