Respighi: The Complete Orchestral Music [8 CD]

Offenbach: Les Contes D'Hoffmann [2 DVD]

Andrei Serban's spectacular and thrilling 1984 production of Puccini's final and grandest opera has long been a classic at the Royal Opera House. First filmed for BBC TV in the 80s, this new recording - of its fifteenth revival - is in stunning HD and makes this famous production available for the first time on DVD and Blu-ray. The release will rightfully take its place alongside the outstanding Royal Opera Puccini DVDs of La Bohème, Tosca (on EMI) and Il Trittico. American Lise Lindstrom is one of the very few contemporary Turandots who can genuinely sing this 'killer' role, and is supported by a touching Liù from Japanese soprano Eri Nakamura and an unashamedly Italianite Calaf from Marco Berti. The young Hungarian conductor Henrik Nánási directs the large orchestra and all-important chorus.<br/><br/>Extra features: Turandot - An Introduction, Behind the Masks and a cast gallery.<br/><br/>Running time: 125 minutes<br/><br/>Subtitles: EN/FR/DE/ES/IT/KO<br/><br/>Sound format: 2.0LPCM + 5.1(5.0) DTS

Brahms: The Complete Trios [2 CD]

Prokofiev: Symphonies Nos 1-7 [4 CD]

Franz Halász hyllades för sin inspelning av Bachs fyra lutsviter, transkriberade för gitarr. Nu går han vidare till mästarens sonater och partitor, ursprungligen skrivna för soloviolin, men som passar utmärkt för Halász flinka gitarrfingrar.
