Ode to Freedom - Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 (Official Concert of the Fall of the Berlin Wall 1989)

Leonard Bernstein's historical concert in celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 has long become almost as legendary as the revolutionary moment that it celebrated.

The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 1989 unleashed a wave of democratisation in Central and Eastern Europe that radically transformed the world order and Leonard Bernstein spontaneously accepted an invitation to conduct a perform...

The Planets in Full Score (Dover Music Scores)

Among the most popular and important modern British composers, Gustav Holst (1874–1934) was a true eccentric, given to odd enthusiasms and mystical musings. His spectacular symphonic suite The Planets, first performed in 1918, established his international reputation and remains a staple of the orchestral repertoire to this day.Scored for huge orchestral forces and a wordless chorus, the work is divided into seven movements, the music of each embodying the astrological and mystical qualities of a different planet. From the ominous, relentless march of "Mars, the Bringer of War" to the robust... [Read More]

Shostakovich: Complete Symphonies

The Complete Symphonies - Shostakovich's music is the music of 20th century Russia, from the turbulent Revolution, through the horrors of war to the communistic repression. It is the cry of a soul in torment, expressing grief, despair in a highly personal way, through irony or bitter truth. The symphonies span Shostakovich's whole life, and form a milestone in the symphonic repertoire. They are frequently played, and have gained nearly the same popularity as Mahler's symphonies. A stupendous recording by Russian conductor Rudolf Barshai, an authority in this repertoire, as he has worked closel... [Read More]

In the liner notes to this disc, which accompanies the book by Elizabeth Miles, the author theorizes that music acts as an anti-depressant. According to Miles, music is an endorphin generator, the aestheic equivalent of the Stairmaster or pumping iron.Miles prescribes these chestnuts of Beethoven as a way for listeners to feel better. Though the disc consists of excerpts, it is a very pleasant compilation of fine and energetic performances. Starting out with the last movement of the Symphony No. 8 in F major played by the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Herbert von Karajan, it culminates with the same group interpreting "Ode to Joy," the last movement of the Ninth Symphony.Other world-class artists, including the pianists Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Wilhelm Kempff, the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, and the conductors Carlo Maria Giulini, and Myung-When Chung, contribute to the cause.
