Label: FARAO SACD 108048 Our Price: $19.25 Quantity in Basket: none Chorgemeinschaft Neubeuern Orchester der Klang Verwaltung/Enoch zu Guttenberg Recorded at Farao Studio, Munich, October 2005 The Requiem is W.A.Mozart’s last composition. He died before he could finish it. In July 1771 Mozart received from a secretive messenger the commission to compose a Requiem mass. Mozart worked intensively, passionately, and with all his energy on this lucrative commission. It was at this time that Mozart contracted a fell disease. Showing signs of pain and suffering, Mozart is said to have spoken of death and to have been convinced that it was his own Requiem that he was working on. Little did he know that it was for Count Franz Walsegg von Stuppach that he was working, who wished to create a memorial to his late wife. On December 5th, 1791 whilst working on the Requiem, Mozart died of rheumatic fever. Mozart’s wife, plagued by financial worries commissioned Franz Xaver Süssmayr, a pupil and assistant of Mozart, to finish the score. |

Label: FARAO SACD 108051 Our Price: $19.25 Quantity in Basket: none When visiting the composer, Bruckner’s former teacher and lifelong friend Otto Kitzler advised him to get married due to his chaotic housekeeping. Appalled, the almost 50 year old musician replied that he had no time, and that he had to work on his Fourth. Because of the debacle at the world premiere of his Third Symphony, Anton Bruckner filed away at the follow-up symphony for a long time. The first version was created in 1874, the second version featuring a completely new Scherzo in 1878. Before its world premiere at the Vienna Musikverein in 1881, Bruckner once more revised the Finale. The result was triumphal. "Bruckner was called back four to five times after every movement. In a word: Bruckner was very well received, since last Sunday he ranks among our most important sound creators and has become a part of our common artistic property." wrote the Wiener Abendpost. As was to be expected, Enoch zu Guttenberg once again presents an interesting, absolutely unique version of Bruckner’s phenomenal symphony. "I can merely conduct something that I really understand and that charges me emotionally." says the conductor. |

Label: FARAO SACD 108070 Our Price: $38.50 Quantity in Basket: none Chorus of the Bavarian State Opera/Zubin Mehta Live at the Munich Bayarian Statopera, March 2006. In the last two years shooting star Anja Harteros has become one of the greatest stars of the operatic profession. At the beginning of March she stood in at short notice for Margarita De Arellano, who was indisposed, to sing the title role of Violetta. The performances on 6th and 9th March were not only her debut in this role in Munich, but also the last time Zubin Mehta will conduct this opera as Bavarian General Music Director. As Violetta, Anja Harteros exceeds all expectations. She masters the coloratura of the first act effortlessly, the drama of the second act is absolutely soul-stirring, and in the moving arias of the third act her lyric soprano voice tells magnificently. As her partner, tenor Piotr Beczala, as Alfredo Germont, is quite her equal. He has no difficulty in assuming his place among the elite group of all the really great singers. He has after all, a remarkable Legato and has as his trump card, a strikingly masculine sound. As Giorgio Germont, Paolo Gavanelli, a favorite among audiences, impresses with his outstanding perfection and an indescribably velvety tone. These two exceptional operatic performances have been recorded by FARAO classics and will appear in time for this year’s Opera Festival on SACD/CD - a tribute to the General Music Director as he takes his leave, and to an exceptional, absolutely top-class young soprano.

Label: FARAO SACD 108080 Our Price: $57.75 Quantity in Basket: none Anja Harteros; Vesselina Kasarova; Veronica Cangemi; Sonia Prina; John Mark Ainsley; Christopher Purves; Deborah York Bavarian State Orchestra/Ivor Bolton The festival premiere of ALCINA at the Prinzregententheater on July 17th, 2005 was, like so many other premieres of baroque operas, a highlight of the Munich opera season. Who does not like to think back to "Poppea", "Rinaldo" or, needless to say, "Giulio Cesare". The production featured Anja Harteros and Vesselina Kasarova, two superstars of the international opera scene. Under the approved direction of Ivor Bolton, the entire ensemble was celebrated by the audience with standing ovations, and no less euphoric was the echo in the press! " …Vesselina Kasarova’s restrained, mourning voice is so heartbreaking that the audience of Prinzregententheater wished themselves to be back in the lovely woods with Ruggiero…" - Münchner Merkur "Ivor Bolton and the Bavarian State Orchestra are well attuned to one another, and present their approved Handel, not plump in a baroque fashion, but rather muscular, who has become the trademark of the Munich Handel renaissance." - Neue Zürcher Zeitung - (3 CDs) |
