CALLAS in Lucia di Lammermoor

We're celebrating Maria Callas's 100th birthday with this wonderful 1959 stereo studio recording of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, recorded in London with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus under Tullio Serafin.

"It is the great dramatic truth of Maria Callas’s Lucia, in this new recording, which sets it above the impersonation of the earlier Columbia set. In every way Mme Callas has refined her interpretation of the role, and made it more exquisite, more fascinating, musically and dramatically more subtle — in a word, more beautiful. For example, in “Verrano a te" she no longer presses, but spins a tender thread of legato: this duet is melting, with Tagliavini at his most dulcet; the final verse in octaves is ravishing." - The Gramophone, 1959

LEINSDORF in Philadelphia

This week's new releases brings the unique opportunity to hear Erich Leinsdorf conduct an almost-complete Philadelphia Orchestra in two major symphonic works.
Operating in its summertime guise as the Robin Hood Dell Orchestra of Philadelphia, in 1952 the orchestra performed and then recorded Brahms' Symphony No. 1 and Franck's Symphony in D minor under Leinsdorf's baton, two recordings ripe for rediscovery in Mark Obert-Thorn's excellent transfers for Pristine!


BRITTEN PROMOTION To mark the 110th birthday of composer Britten, this week we're offering a 20% discount on all his recordings. Offer runs until 24 November.

FURTWÄNGLER Wagner Ring Cycle: 4. Götterdämmerung (1950, La Scala) - PACO093

Flagstad pours it on—the quality of her voice and her stamina are remarkable

This “Eroica” is one of Klemperer’s great statements of the work
