Gundula Janowitz, James King, Sylvia Geszty, Teresa Zylis-Gara, Hermann Prey, Peter Schreier & Theo Adam Staatskapelle Dresden, Rudolf Kempe “Still the airiest, most lyrical recording. Silver-voiced Janowitz and ringingly golden-toned King are superb as the divine lovers heading a cast as vibrant as any on disc.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2008 ***** |

Christa Ludwig, Gundula Janowitz, Jon Vickers, Walter Berry, Walter Kreppel, Waldemar Kmentt & Eberhard Wächter Wiener Staatsopernchor & Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper, Herbert von Karajan Never before released (we do not acknowledge pirate productions!), recorded at a single evening's performance (25 May 1962), this Fidelio, under the baton of Herbert von Karajan (who was also responsible for the acclaimed stage production), is remarkable for its spontaneity and sense of theatrical presence. “This live recording is fascinating, but falls below Karajan’s famed perfectionism, and both Ludwig and Vickers sound less comfortable than with Klemperer. Gundula Janowitz’s Marzelline is a gem, while Ludwig and Vickers even below par are worth hearing for their dramatic conviction.” Sunday Times, 13th April 2008 *** “An intense, exciting night at the opera, tightly controlled and successfully brought off by Karajan … It’s fascinating to share the experience of such live recordings.” Hermes Opera Lexicon | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Gundula Janowitz, Edita Gruberova, Bernd Weikl and Rene Kollo Wiener Philharmoniker, Sir Georg Solti The only film version available of this opera, the celebrated director Otto Schenk’s intimate film of Strauss’s comedy of manners, set in mid-19th century Vienna. Schenk’s beautiful staging uses traditional sets and costumes, making this a classic, historic and faithful account. “Schenk's direction is stodgy, but authentic settings and a superb cast, with Janowitz in angelic voice and Solti at his Straussian finest make this the best Arabella in any medium. Michael Scott Rohan” BBC Music Magazine, June 2008 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Gundula Janowitz, Eberhard Wächter, Wolfgang Windgassen, Heinz Holecek & Erich Kunz Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm Staged and Directed by: Otto Schenk "Optimally captured on film” (Die Presse, Vienna) “A glittering account of the most perfect of all operettas, with an incredibly starry cast, all in peak condition. Karl Böhm's conducting is relaxed but sparkling.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 ***** “…an agreeably old-fashioned staging… The greatest glory of the performance… remains the ladies - above all Renate Holm's effervescent Adele - just as it was all those years ago.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
