{"product_id":"herbert-von-karajan_the-sacred-choral-recordings_2017_uni","title":"The sacred \u0026 choral recordings","description":"This box set contains the complete recordings of sacred and choral works by Karajan, made during his prolific career with the yellow label. The greatest conductor of the 20th century, the immense Herbert von Karajan, recorded no less than 300 albums for Deutsche Grammophon over his 50-year career for the yellow label. While he is usually associated with a symphonic and operatic repertoire, this edition of 29 CDs documents a lesser-known - but just as grand - aspect of his vast repertoire, sacred and choral music. This box set offers monuments from the DG catalog, recorded by some of the greatest lyrical singers of the past century - Barbara Hendricks, Gundula Janowitz, Christa Ludwig, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey, Peter Schreier, Fritz Wunderlich, and Mirella Freni. Presented in their original covers, the albums come with a 92-page booklet of new notes by Karajan's eminent biographer, Richard Osborne. The box set also includes several recordings of key works, thus providing a retrospective of the master's artistic evolution. Notably included are three recordings of Mozart's Requiem (61\/75\/86), as well as two recordings of Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem (64\/83), Beethoven's Missa Solemnis (66\/85), Haydn's La Création (66\/82), and Verdi's Messa da Requiem (72\/84).","brand":"Herbert von Karajan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57702026183000,"sku":null,"price":20170224.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/herbert-von-karajan_the-sacred-choral-recordings_2017_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
