SCHUBERT: Winterreise D 911

Landmark Schubert recording from internationally acclaimed Lied interpreter Thomas Quasthoff.

Two-time Grammy award winner and internationally acclaimed Schubert interpreter Thomas Quasthoff is releasing two all-new Schubert recordings this spring, each featuring one of the composer's big song cycles.

This new DVD showcases Quasthoff's soulful interpretation of Schubert's Winterreise, filmed earlier this year in Berlin with Daniel Barenboim on the piano.

It captures not only Quasthoff's exceptional musicality but also the emotional gravity of his performance, which led Der Tagesspiegel to extol Quasthoff's astonishing ability 'not so much to recall events as relive them all over again, summoning them back to life.'

In addition to the full concert, the DVD includes fascinating bonus footage from the rehearsal and interviews with Thomas Quasthoff and Daniel Barenboim - allowing a close look on how these two musical masterminds work out their vision of Schubert's touching masterpiece.

Hänsel und Gretel with Solti promises quality entertainment for the whole family.

Composer Engelbert Humperdinck transformed Grimm's beloved fairy tale Hänsel und Gretel into an opera that everyone can enjoy. Frequently staged in opera houses during the run up to the Christmas season, this DVD comes in perfect time to help families celebrate this magical time of year!

Sir Georg Solti is at the helm of the Wiener Philharmoniker with unforgettable performances by Brigitte Fassbaender as Hänsel and Edita Gruberova as Gretel. The supporting cast also includes such acclaimed performers as Hermann Prey, Helga Dernesch, Sena Jurinac and Norma Burrowes.

This much applauded performance from the Metropolitan Opera House took place November 1982 and enshrines the great Dame Joan Sutherland in her signature role, Lucia di Lammermoor. La Stupenda was in phenomenal voice and gave a performance that held critics and audiences spellbound. Her performance culminates in the famous mad scene and 'legendary' is the only word to describe it. Alfredo Kraus and Paul Plishka are Dame Joan's esteemed colleagues and Richard Bonynge, displaying all of his feted sympathy for this repertoire, conducts the Metropolitan Chorus and Orchestra. An evening to remember and a DVD to treasure.
