CD-ROM: Munich Opera
Product Description
With AE004, the Audio Encyclopedia represented the Bavarian State Opera in its presentations of the operas Richard Strauss, native son of München. The present volume omits Strauss and two other major groups of works: the operas of Wagner and those of the 20th century. We have tried to represent here the breadth of the house's standard works with those exceptions.

The Bavarian State Opera in Munich is not only one of the great opera houses of the world, it was also the home theater for Richard Strauss, whose first and last premieres were offered there. Indeed, the CD-ROM, Operas of Richard Strauss, is taken almost entirely from performances in München, so we have not included Strauss's works on Opera from Munich. We have also arbitrarily saved the company's performances of Wagner and of contemporary opera for another project. On this CD-ROM, we provide a view of the rest of the company's repertoire.
For the illustrations here, I've chosen some representative duets for tenor and soprano - simply because there needed some criterion was needed.
Adriana Lecouvreur offers Margaret Price and Neil Shicoff under Roberto Abbado in a 1990 performance.
Faust featured Mirella Freni and Jaime Aragall led by Georges Prêtre.
Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor is as bright as ever but far from trivial when heard, as here, with Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting Julie Kaufmann and Peter Seiffert. While this selection does not convey the wit and sonority of Lucia Popp, Kurt Moll and the others in the cast, it suggests the joy of the work and the performance.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
