Complete Symphonic, Lieder & Choral Recordings 65cd - The Warner Classics Ed.

Description

For five decades, Wolfgang Sawallisch held a central place in the world of music. Originally from Munich, a city of orchestras and a major opera company, which he directed for 21 years, he began his career as a pianist and accompanist for great soloists and later became a conductor. This "Volume 1" box set bears witness to these collaborations by offering recordings with singers, choirs, and soloists. The 65-CD box set brings together all the non-operatic recordings that Sawallisch made between 1954 and 1997 for Warner Classics. It pays particular attention to his symphonic achievements: Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Bruckner, Dvorak, and Richard Strauss. With Y. Egorov, S. Kovacevich, J. Martzy, F.P. Zimmermann, N. Gutman, B. Fassbaender, D. Fischer-Dieskau.. The Volume 2 box set will focus on his vocal recordings.
