The Westminster Legacy (DG

undefined

Few record labels from the dawn of the LP era are recalled with more admiration and affection than Westminster Records – its first records from 1950 established Westminster as a pioneering source, exploring new and exciting corners of repertoire. The Westminster box gives a cross-section of Westminster’s activity in all genres, from solo piano s (Jörg Demus, Paul Badura-Skoda, Clara Haskil, Egon Petri) to complete operas (Handel’s Rodelinda with Teresa Stich-Randall, Maureen Forrester, Alexander Young, conducted by Brian Priestman, receiving its CD premiere) to orchestral s by the legendary conductors Hermann Scherchen and Artur Rodzinski. Many of these albums have never been released internationally before on CD. The box set includes: - 40 CDs with original cover art sleeves - 100-page booklet Tracklist: Beethoven: Symphonies No.3 "Eroica" & No.6 "Pastorale" Beethoven: Symphonies No.2 In D, Op. 36; No.4 In B Flat, Op.60 & No.8 In F, Op.93 Beethoven: Symphony No.9 "Choral" Haydn: Symphony No.45 In F Sharp Minor "Farewell"; Symphony No.100 In G Major "" Mozart: Symphonies No. 39 In E Flat, K.543; No.40 In G Minor, K.550; No.41 In C, K.551 "Jupiter" Holst: The Planets, Op.32 / Vaughan Williams: Fantasia On Greensleeves; Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis [ CD 6 ] Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, Op. 71 (Part 1) [ CD 7 ] Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, Op.71 (Part 2); Symphony No.4 In F Minor, Bruckner: Symphony No.8 In C Minor (Part 1) [ CD 9 ] Bruckner: Symphony No.8 In C Minor (Part 2) / Wagner: Lohengrin - Prelude; Mahler: Symphony No.1 In D; Symphony No.2 In C Minor [ CD 11 ] Mahler: Symphony No.2 In C Minor [ CD 12 ] Glière: Symphony No.3 "Ilya Murometz" [ CD 13 ] Beethoven: Wellington's Victory, Op.91 / Orff: Entrata / Gabrielli: Canzon Primi Toni [ CD 14 ] Mozart: Piano Concerto No.20, K.466 / latti, D.: 11 Sonatas [ CD 15 ] Mozart, W.A.: Piano Concerto No.22, K.482; Piano Sonata No.16, K.570 & Piano Sonata No.8, K.310 [ CD 16 ] Rachmaninov: Concerto No.2 Pour Piano En Ut Mineur, Op.18; Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini, Op.43 [ CD 17 ] Brahms: Violin Concerto In D, Op.77 / Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto In D, Op.35 [ CD 18 ] Mozart, W.A.: String Quintet No.3 In G Minor, K.516; String Quartet No.23 IN F, K.590 "Prussian No.3" [ CD 19 ] Beethoven: String Quartets Op. 18 No.4 & Op.59 No.3 "Razumovsky" [ CD 20 Schubert: String Quintet In C, D.956 [ CD 21 ] Schubert: Octet In F Major, D.803 [ CD 22 ] Mendelssohn: Octet In E Flat, Op.20 / Beethoven: String Quartet No.8 In E Minor, Op.59 No.2 "Rasumovsky No.2" [ CD 23 ] Dvorák: String Sextet Op.48; String Quintet Op.97 [ CD 24 ] Beethoven: Piano Sonatas No.8, Op.13 "Pathétique"; No.23, Op.57 "Appassionata"; No.29, Op.106 "Hammerklavier" [ CD 25 ] Schubert: Fantasia For Piano In C, D.760 "Wanderer - Fantasie"; 6 Moments musicaux D.780; Impromptus Op.90 [ CD 26 ] Franck: Prélude, Choral et Fugue; Prélude, Aria et Fugue / Fauré: Impromptus Op.31, 91, 102; Thème et variations, Op.73; Barcarolle Op.70; Noturne No.6, Op.63 [ CD 27 ] Spanish Guitar Music [ CD 28 ] Schumann: Frauenliebe und -leben, Op.42; Liederkreis, Op.39 / Respighi: Il tramonto [ CD 29 ] Duparc: Opera Recitals And Songs [ CD 30 ] Beethoven: Christus am Ölberge / Mozart, W.A.: An Chloë, K.524; Oiseaux, si tous les ans K.307/K.284d; Ridente la calma K.152; "Un moto di gioia" (Le nozze di Figaro) K.492; Das Veilchen K.476 [ CD 31 ] Bach, J.S.: Mass In B Minor, BWV 232 (Part 1) [ CD 32 ] Bach, J.S.: Mass In B Minor, BWV 232 (Part 2) [ CD 33 ] Mozart: Requiem In D Minor, K.626 [ CD 34 ] Händel: Rodelinda (Part 1) [ CD 35 ] Händel: Rodelinda (Part 2) [ CD 36 ] Händel: Rodelinda (Part 3) [ CD 37 ] Berlioz: Roméo & Juliette (Part 1) [ CD 38 ] Berlioz: Roméo & Juliette (Part 2); Symphonie fantastique [ CD 39 ] Opera Arias [ CD 40 ]
