| "Composer Lieberson wrote these songs for his wife, Lorraine, who premiered and toured with them shortly before she died of cancer. Swan-song elements aside, it's a great convergence of music and performers. Vocal lines are so suited to her that navigational aspects of singing are irrelevant, freeing her to project the Pablo Neruda words with an artistry and identification that suggests she wrote them." | |||||||||||||

| Rescued from a half-century in the London/Decca vaults, this live Ring cycle is among the best ever, with its golden-age-of-Wagner cast in amazingly vivid stereo sound. The strongest installment is Siegfried; the most vocally fallible, Das Rheingold. But even in Rheingold, Keilberth's arresting conducting never lets you forget that this music is about things more important than mermaids and gnomes. Götterdämmerung comes next year. | |||||||||||||

| "Argentine Jewish composer Golijov shows here why he's such a hot property. The opera is a free-floating biography of Federico García Lorca, with a Latin-influenced, alternately exalted and brutal score that's so vibrant it feels dangerous, like a religious rite that could take you to hell as well as heaven." | |||||||||||||

| "This choice is not about civic pride. It's prompted by the end-of-the-world power of the performance, with the orchestra sounding like it's had a triple espresso and Eschenbach's considerable imagination in full tilt. No matter how many Mahler Sixths anybody has, there should always be room for ones this good." | |||||||||||||

| "If there's a feel-good disc this year, it's this. All three concertos are shamelessly melodic and scored for the 20th-century orchestra at its lushest. Ehnes gains more musical charisma with age - and here plays concertos that call for a hero." | |||||||||||||

| "Written for one of the composer's vocally limited but theatrically adept proteges, this opera isn't just another Vivaldian recycling of arias and plots, but is earnest about telling a story. There are also ample vocal athletics in this cast, a cross-section of Europe's best early-music singers." | |||||||||||||

| "Critics of the early-music movement say that what Beethoven heard can never be reproduced. Literally speaking, that's wrong: This recording uses a newly discovered violin once owned by a composer. More important, performances are so vital they border on being irritable - with myriad details that modern instruments miss." | |||||||||||||

| "Computer animation comes together with baroque opera at Paris' Chatelet Theater in ground-breaking but breathtakingly seamless ways. As staged and supervised by José Montalvo, Rameau is mainly an adhesive for hip-hop choreography and a plethora of animated images, from cherubs to New York subway trains, from which real singers emerge. You can't believe it until you see it." | |||||||||||||

| "This live mid-'80s recording is one of many previously unreleased Tennstedt recordings issued over the last year by BBC Music and the orchestra's own label, LPO. Often, the late German conductor is heard in repertoire he never recorded commercially. Also, he was infinitely more alive when heard live, with so much dynamic tension between his rhythmic excitability and surging melodic line." | |||||||||||||
