Lise Davidsen: Beethoven - Wagner - Verdi RecommendedLise Davidsen (soprano), London Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Mark Elder
Her voice reminds me now of Birgit Nilsson’s at the same stage, an Elsa and Sieglinde who is a Brünnhilde in waiting, with the same thrilling edge to her top register, though she isn’t lacking... — More…

Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 & Wagner: Siegfried’s Funeral March
RecommendedGewandhausorchester, Andris Nelsons
What elevates these performances for me is the fact that Nelsons takes equal care over the string parts...Having said that, the brass certainly don't disappoint either: the outbursts of the slow... — More…

Might this be the start of a complete Bruckner symphonies from the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under Andris Nelsons? On the strength of this I very much hope so. The orchestra is still on with... — More…

Lise Davidsen sings Wagner and Strauss
RecommendedLise Davidsen (soprano)
Philharmonia Orchestra, Esa-Pekka Salonen
Davidsen is no ordinary singer. Throughout the whole album one marvels at the voice, its easy grandeur and sheer size, its steely focus and security… The timbre has a default cool beauty but... — More…

New,
Im Abendrot: Songs By Wagner, Pfitzner, Strauss Matthias Goerne (baritone), Seong-Jin Cho (piano)
Hearing Wagner’s Wesendonck-Lieder sung by a low male voice proves quite revelatory here, with Goerne tapping into the songs’ intimacy rather than the full-throttle grandeur that’s often to the... — More…

Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 & Wagner: Lohengrin Prelude to Act 1
RecommendedGewandhausorchester, Andris Nelsons
It is a fairly leisurely account, encouraging us to listen to what is happening at the moment rather than what is going to emerge from or follow it. That is fine until we reach the last movement,... — More…

The way Levit has formed this programme is extraordinarily effective. The Brahms reworking for left hand of Bach’s D minor violin Chaconne is a probing, introverted affair, and how effectively... — More…

Bruckner: Symphonies Nos. 8 & 2 & Wagner: Meistersinger Prelude
RecommendedGewandhausorchester Leipzig, Andris Nelsons
I like Nelsons’s approach [in No. 8], and the orchestra is magnificent...The Leipzigers have the right kind of sound, but Nelsons seems uncertain how smoothly the music should flow, so though... — More…

Wagner: Parsifal

Mariinsky Orchestra & Chorus, Valery Gergiev
What really distinguishes this...is Gergiev. His reading is vivid and luminous, generally expansive but with fluidly shifting tempos, unashamedly guilty of theatrical excitement. Yet he evokes... — More…
