R. STRAUSS: Don Juan; Till Eulenspiegel; Death and Transfiguration; Vier letze Lieder – Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, sop./Vienna Philharmonic/ Wilhelm Furtwaengler/ Philharmonia Orch./ Otto Ackermann (Last Songs) – Praga Digitals
Gripping, “transcendent,” the Furtwaengler readings of Richard Strauss powerfully capture the composer’s symphonic ethos.
DVORÁK: Symphony No. 6; The Water Goblin – Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg/ Marcus Bosch – Coviello Classics
A splendid performance and recording of a popular symphony and a less well-known tone poem.
SMETANA: Ma Vlast (My Country) (2012)
A student orchestra performance, but don’t let that dissuade you from viewing/hearing this stirring performance.
