Benjamin Britten's A midsummer night's dream by Benjamin Britten( Visual )

1 edition published in 2004 in English and held by 241 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Glyndebourne's production of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream is pure magic. Brilliantly adapted from Shakespeare's play, the opera follows the adventures of the four lovers and a group of naïve rustics who, in a wood on a moonstruck night, fall foul of Oberon and Tytania, the quarreling King and Queen of Fairies. In Peter Hall's remarkable staging, that very wood comes alive as logs and trees move and rustle, creating ambiguous silhouettes in the dark mysterious woodland, lit only by John Bury's wonderful rising sun and moon. Counter-tenor James Bowman plays Oberon, Ileana Cotrubas proves a majestic Tytania while baritone Curt Appelgren gives a vivid performance as Bottom. The magic web of Britten's music is brilliantly spun by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Bernard Haitink.--Publisher website

Liebeslieder Walzer op. 52 [und] Neue Liebeslieder Walzer, op. 65 by Johannes Brahms( Recording )

3 editions published in 1967 in German and held by 100 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Johannes Brahms produserte et stort antall verker med vokalmusikk. Mange av disse er preget av en noe dyster stemning som preger mye av Brahms musikk. Unntaket er et par opusnummre hvor stemningen er mer sorgløs og preget av glede og overskudd. På denne utgivelsen er en av dem, "Liebesliederwalzer" op. 52 fra 1869. Ofte blir denne syklusen, som består av 18 sanger, fremført av blandet kor. Denne innspillingen er med en vokalkvartett i tillegg til firhendig klaver, noe som gjør at det tekstlige og Brahms flotte harmonier kommer mer til sin rett. CD-en inneholder også "Drei quartette" op. 64 fra 1874 og "Neue Liebeslieder" op. 65 fra 1875
