Allen Pettersson - Symphony No. 12 delivers emotionally

Lindberg -- and the gathered ensembles -- succeed admirably. This is an intense, and intensely satisfying, musical experience from beginning to end.

Bizet: Carmen - Beecham conducts at the Met

But for a recording with an authentic feel for the opera house in superior remastered sound, the recent (2021) Pristine Audio release, PACO 176, is in a class by itself. You can hear it and judge for yourself on WTJU’s Sunday Opera Matinee at 2:00 P.M. on April 18.

Lucie Bartholomäi crushes it with female

Check this release out because of the repertoire, and the performances. Age doesn't matter here -- just Bartholomäi's considerable experience and musicality.

Early Music by Walter Braunfels Promising

The ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under Gregor Buhl turn in some solid performances. I think I prefer the composer's later style, but these are a good entry point into his catalog.
