Original Masters is conceived on the dual premise of presenting a logical grouping of historical repertoire of a single great Decca artist. |
Artist: Various Artists|
Artist: Karl Bohm The recordings of Karl Böhm have lately enjoyed a well-deserved renaissance. The Austrian conductor’s emphasis on rhythmic, textural and structural clarity give us timeless interpretations of Mozart (his greatest love), as well as Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Richard Strauss, Haydn and Mahler. |
|
Artist: Antonin Dvorak This whopping 40-disc set, contains familiar performances of the major works, and most of them are quite good. Symphonies Nos. 1-7 feature Kosler and the Slovak Philharmonic--not a first-class orchestra, but a fine conductor who gets the ensemble to play idiomatically and well. |
|
Artist: Sviatoslav Richter For the 100th anniversary of Sviatoslav Richter, Firma Melodiya presents its arguably biggest project in its semicentennial history: a 50-CD set of Sviatoslav Richters concert recordings! This collection is far from the complete phonographic legacy of the great musician. |
|
Artist: Armida Quartett The act of thinking and composing in counterpoint – in fugues – has reigned as the supreme musical discipline ever since Western music emerged around the year 1200 from the shadows of purely oral transmission to be codified in writing, initially in mensural notation. |

Artist: Ditta Rohmann |
|
Artist: Ditta Rohmann & Laszlo Fassang J. S. Bach’s sonatas for violin and harpsichord and his solo partitas for violin and flute are presented on this recording on solo cello or on cello and organ. The transcriptions were made by Ditta Rohmann and László Fassang. |
|
Artist: Ditta Rohmann & Imre Rohmann The excellent cellist Ditta Rohmann plays cello arrangements of the exquisitely selected repertory from the early 20th century in the company of her father, the pianist Imre Rohmann. |
|
Artist: Víkingur Olafsson This is a tribute to the master of minimal music, legendary Philip Glass, who turns 80 on 31.01.2017. A year ago Philip Glass handpicked some pianists to perform all of his Etudes together at the Barbican in London. |

Artist: Russell Watson Russell Watson (born 23 November 1966) is an English tenor who has released singles and albums of both operatic-style and pop songs. The self-styled "People's Tenor" had been singing since he was a child, and became known after performing at a working men's club. |
