Presley Elvis: Milestones Of A Legend 1954-62 [10 CD]

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.

The best-known symphonies in artistic perfection.<br/><br/>Conductors of international fame, top orchestras from Europe and the USA.<br/><br/>Outstanding sound and recording quality.<br/><br/>A basic collection of the major symphonies in world literature.<br/><br/>These ten CDs contain the central symphonic repertoire of our concert life. Top orchestras from Europe and the United States demonstrate the high standard of their art, led by conductors of world renown: Bernstein and Karajan, Klemperer, Szell, Furtwängler, and Toscanini. The demands in terms of sound these masterpieces present, have been met brilliantly by the sound engineers working on these recordings and many of them have hardly been surpassed until today, making the 19 works in this CD box the ideal foundation for a collection of the major symphonies in world literature, both musically and technically.
