As a musician, as a man of ideals, and as a true world citizen, Yehudi Menuhin made an extraordinary mark on his era. The Menuhin Century commemorates the 100th anniversary of his birth on 22 April 1916. Offering both dazzling showpieces and major concertos and sonatas, The Virtuoso and his Landmark Recordings reveals as much about Menuhin's technical brilliance as about his depth as an interpreter.

This is another release in EMI’s highly successful 50 BEST series. This 3CD set contains 50 tracks from the finest EMI recordings of the famous Wiener Philharmoniker, know in English as the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, under some of the world’s greatest conductors including Wilhelm Furtwängler, Herbert von Karajan, Rudolf Kempe, André Cluytens, Riccardo Muti and many others.

The artistry of Rita Streich presented in this multi-disc set represents an art that in all likelihood would not return: the Viennese school of coloratura and lyrical singing.

Muzyka polska XIX wieku wywołuje bezpośrednie skojarzenia z twórczością dwóch kompozytorów, Chopina i Moniuszki. Poszerzenie tych skojarzeń o nazwisko Zarębskiego zbyt jeszcze często wywołuje zdumienie, a niekiedy konsternację. Fakt istnienia tego wybitnego kompozytora i pianisty, artysty – kosmopolity, ucznia Liszta i obywatela XIX-wiecznej Europy, który powielił w pewnym sensie drogę, jaka była udziałem Chopina, w świadomości ogółu jeszcze nie funkcjonuje.

This is Reger at his most accessible. In both pieces there is plenty of atmosphere and colour. The Hiller Variations is possibly his greatest and most satisfying orchestral work and is indispensable. Reger was a prolific composer, and it has to be said not all that came from his pen was necessarily memorable. However, the two works on this disc are vintage Reger. He lived his short life as fast as he composed his music. His is a special and unique sound-world which offers great rewards to those who take the time to explore it. Radiant playing from the Concertgebouw under Jarvi and sound to match.
