'2 CDs in perfect harmony'.

GEMINI features an impressive roster of singers, conductors, soloists and ensembles of international renown, all from the incomparable EMI Classics stable. You will see Vladimir Ashkenazy, Daniel Barenboim, Sir Thomas Beecham, Michel Plasson, Yehudi Menuhin, André Previn, the London Symphony Orchestra and many more.

EMI's rich legacy of recording expertise comes to the fore in performances from the 1960s to the 1990s. New to CD are Ronald Smith's recordings of Alkan's Piano Works, Carlo Maria Giulini's Beethoven 6, Christoph Eschenbach's Beethoven Piano Sonatas and orchestral works by Sibelius under the direction of Sir Charles Groves. These titles have been digitally remastered to the highest standards at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.

Gemini is the ideal place to start or develop your collection of classical music: find complete recordings of classical favourites like Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Bizet's Carmen; discover Alkan, largely forgotten today but the wow of 19th-century Paris, and 20th-century Polish composer Szymanowski; get Schubert's complete music for violin and piano in one 2CD set.
