Pärt Arvo: The collection [9 CD]

It would not be an overstatement to declare that Ludwig van Beethoven stands as one of the most significant figures in Western civilisation: a composer who shaped the course of music history through his mastery of rhythm, melody and harmonic exploration, pushing the boundaries of form and effectively bridging the gap between Classicism and Romanticism - and yet all the while continuously professing how difficult he found composition. Detailing his complete output - from his earliest years to his last, by which time he had almost completely lost his hearing - this 85CD box reveals an extensive palette of styles and mediums, rendered all the more obvious by the box's division into different genres (starting with the symphonies and ending with the large corpus of different national folk songs). This box is the 2017 reissue of Brilliant Classics' acclaimed Beethoven Complete Edition, with updates including Beethovenian pianist par excellence Alfred Brendel now in the complete cycle of Piano Concertos, Alessandro Commellato on historic fortepianos in brand new recordings of the 18 sets of 'without opus' piano variations, Emmy Verhey in the Violin Concerto and Romances and a definitive Mass in C from Stuttgart's Gächinger Kantorei and Bach-Collegium.

30 world-class conductors at the top of their form. The best-sellers from the concert-halls. Top-orchestras from Europe and the USA.

Millions of people all over the world know these tunes. But an awful lot of them don't know that they come from the inexhaustible store of "classical" music. Many of them have been turned into big hits like "Stranger in Paradise" (Polovtsian Dances) or "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" (Dance of the Hours) and football anthems like "Nessun dorma" (Puccini's Turandot). Others, like Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" or the bridal chorus from Wagner's "Lohengrin", enrich our marriage ceremonies. Yet others have entered the language with such phrases as "Wine, Women and Song" or "Pomp and Circumstance". They are all brought together on these 10 CDs in a wonderfully melodious reunion of more than 170 tunes, the accompaniment to our lives. Anyone who has fought shy of "the classics" up to now will discover hidden treasure here and become an enthusiastic fan.<br/><br/>With Maurice André, Claudio Arrau, Maria Callas, Mirella Freni, Nicolai Gedda, Ingeborg Hallstein, Herbert von Karajan, Mario Lanza, Nathan Milstein, Lucia Popp, Hermann Prey, Anneliese Rothenberger, Artur Rubinstein, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Georg Solti, Leopold Stokowski and many more.
