A very belated purchase: Poulenc's opera Dialogues des Carmélites. My first  :o  ever recording of the work, with Crespin, Duval, Gorr: the classic EMI recording.

A single disc of highlights from R. Strauss' Rosenkavalier under Silvio Varviso. Wiener Philharmoniker, Régine Crespin (Marschallin), Elisabeth Söderström (Octavian) and Hilde Güeden (Sophie). I could not reference a complete recording. Was it recorded in full, or just these highlights ?

Mostly for Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht - the rest is a bonus!

Do you own this disc, Peter?



It receives my highest recommendation and is my favorite Schoenberg recording. It doesn't get much better than this IMHO.

Edit: I see you answered my question in the 'Listening' thread. ;)

I have that disc... the orchestral version of Transfigured Night annoys me a bit on principle*, and my last recollection of Pelleas is that it's too long for its own good!


* And also because I've heard the original version live once, and it was magnificent, and I want to know why the sextet isn't more widely available on disc, dammit!!
Nobody has to apologise for using their brain.

Oh, strong agreement here!  Love the original sextet.  (Not that I mind the string orchestra arrangement overmuch  8) )

Quick mental inventory of my holdings suggests I have roughly 2 recordings of the sextet version for every 1 of the orchestral.  Favorite of the sextet versions is Artemis Quartet, but not by much.  There seem to have been a few new recordings in the last two or three years.

ETA...of course,  I should mention Janine Jensen and family's recording!

I have this one, too. I agree it's wonderful.

In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach
