Historical Reissue Classical CDs, LPs, 78s, Related Books & Ephemera
Since 1972
Along with raging snow storms, March is coming in with most interesting new CD titles! A violinist new to us is Matitiahu Braun, of whom we have two different titles, one of which features him playing the viola as well as the violin.
Walhall has been very busy again, this time with the 1959 Böhm-conducted DIE MEISTERSINGER, featuring Edelmann, Feiersinger, Dönch, Nordmo-Løvberg, etc.
From 1956 we have LES CONTES D'HOFFMANN with Schippers conducting George London, Richard Tucker, Laurel Hurley, Lucine Amara, etc. Another Leonie Rysanek performance of her famous Senta appears in the 1960 DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER, again with Schippers conducting, this time also featuring George London and Karl Liebl.
After all the excitement created by Licia Albanese's 1955 New Year's performance of Violetta, we now have her 1955 version in which she is partnered by Cesare Valletti and Mario Sereni. From Glyndebourne we have the 1962 L'ELISIR D'AMORE with Cillario conducting Freni, Alva, Sordello and Bruscantini. The latter comes with an elaborate 218pp Libretto-Brochure.
We continue working on completing our 2010 Auction of 78s, Signed Photos, Opera Programs and other Ephemera, which will be offered in March on our website.
Check back often in our "New Offerings" and "Of Special Interest" categories for new titles. If you would like to join our emailing list, please sign up on the left.
