RecommendedGrigory Sokolov (piano)
Mahler Chamber Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Trevor Pinnock, Yan Pascal Tortelier

If the programme sounds familiar, the reality is anything but. The first movement of Beethoven’s Sonata Op. 2 No. 3 emerges spacious and unhurried…The Op. 119 Bagatelles are an even greater revelation,... — More…

RecommendedTeresa Stratas (Salome), Bernd Weikl (Jochanaan), Astrid Varnay (Herodias), Hans Beirer (Herodes), Wieslaw Ochman (Narraboth), Hanna Schwarz (Ein Page)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm
Stratas's sinuous child-woman comes close to the ideal in Friedrich's glitzy but unnerving film, strongly cast throughout and superbly conducted. — More…

RecommendedSpas Wenkoff (Tannhäuser), Gwyneth Jones (Elisabeth/Venus), Bernd Weikl (Wolfram), Hans Sotin (Hermann), Robert Schunk (Walther von der Vogelweide)
Bayreuther Festspiele, Sir Colin Davis
At last on DVD, a legendary staging which really did revitalise its subject. The staging's intensity, on a single stark rostrum, is supercharged by the committed, first-rate ensemble 1970s Bayreuth... — More…

Bayreuth Festival, Philippe Jordan, Barrie Kosky
In Barrie Kosky’s spirited but uneven 2017 staging of Wagner’s comedy there are splurges of ideas…The performances of the cast are of a high standard dramatically and mostly musically. Volle... — More…Awards:

RecommendedPiotr Beczała (Lohengrin), Anja Harteros (Elsa), Waltraud Meier (Ortrud), Tomasz Konieczny (Friedrich), Georg Zeppenfeld (Heinrich)
Bayreuth Festspiele, Christian Thielemann, Yuval Sharon
Harteros as Elsa responds with singing of considerable lyric beauty, her tonal response generous and well matched to the music…Beczała’s Lohengrin provides glorious singing from start to finish... — More…

Janáček: From the House of the Dead
Olaf Bär, Eric Stocklossa, Stefan Margita, Heinz Zednik & John Mark Ainsley
Arnold Schoenberg Chor & Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Pierre Boulez
Presently the only DVD version of Janácek's last opera, and it's a good one - even if it doesn't match the Scottish Opera/Welsh National staging many will remember. — More…

Wagner: Tristan und Isolde
René Kollo, Johanna Meier, Matti Salminen, Hermann Becht & Hanna Schwarz
Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele, Daniel Barenboim
For a supposedly 'difficult' opera, there's a fair choice of DVD Tristans… But this 1983 Bayreuth version, reappearing at last here on DVD, remains the finest. Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's staging... — More…

Metropolitan...
...everyone on stage, from stars to comprimarios and children (authentically underfoot), crackles with individual life, ideal on video... Garanča's clean-cut Baltic mezzo and fresh good looks... — More…
