## Description

Product description               Few record labels from the dawn of the LP era are recalled with more admiration and affection than Westminster Records – its first records from 1950 established Westminster as a pioneering source, exploring new and exciting corners of repertoire.  The Westminster box gives a cross-section of Westminster’s activity in all genres, from solo piano recordings (Jörg Demus, Paul Badura-Skoda, Clara Haskil, Egon Petri) to complete operas (Handel’s Rodelinda with Teresa Stich-Randall, Maureen Forrester, Alexander Young, conducted by Brian Priestman, receiving its CD premiere) to orchestral recordings by the legendary conductors Hermann Scherchen and Artur Rodzinski. Many of these albums have never been released internationally before on CD. The box set includes: - 40 CDs with original cover art sleeves - 100-page booklet  Tracklist: Beethoven: Symphonies No.3 "Eroica" & No.6 "Pastorale" Beethoven: Symphonies No.2 In D, Op. 36; No.4 In B Flat, Op.60 & No.8 In F, Op.93  Beethoven: Symphony No.9 "Choral" Haydn: Symphony No.45 In F Sharp Minor "Farewell"; Symphony No.100 In G Major "Military" Mozart: Symphonies No. 39 In E Flat, K.543; No.40 In G Minor, K.550; No.41 In C, K.551 "Jupiter"  Holst: The Planets, Op.32 / Vaughan Williams: Fantasia On Greensleeves; Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis [ CD 6 ]  Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, Op. 71 (Part 1) [ CD 7 ]  Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, Op.71 (Part 2); Symphony No.4 In F Minor,  Bruckner: Symphony No.8 In C Minor (Part 1) [ CD 9 ]  Bruckner: Symphony No.8 In C Minor (Part 2) / Wagner: Lohengrin - Prelude;  Mahler: Symphony No.1 In D; Symphony No.2 In C Minor [ CD 11 ]  Mahler: Symphony No.2 In C Minor [ CD 12 ]  Glière: Symphony No.3 "Ilya Murometz" [ CD 13 ]  Beethoven: Wellington's Victory, Op.91 / Orff: Entrata / Gabrielli: Canzon Primi Toni [ CD 14 ] Mozart: Piano Concerto No.20, K.466 / Scarlatti, D.: 11 Sonatas [ CD 15 ]  Mozart, W.A.: Piano Concerto No.22, K.482; Piano Sonata No.16, K.570 & Piano Sonata No.8, K.310 [ CD 16 ]  Rachmaninov: Concerto No.2 Pour Piano En Ut Mineur, Op.18; Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini, Op.43 [ CD 17 ]  Brahms: Violin Concerto In D, Op.77 / Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto In D, Op.35 [ CD 18 ]  Mozart, W.A.: String Quintet No.3 In G Minor, K.516; String Quartet No.23 IN F, K.590 "Prussian No.3" [ CD 19 ]  Beethoven: String Quartets Op. 18 No.4 & Op.59 No.3 "Razumovsky" [ CD 20 Schubert: String Quintet In C, D.956 [ CD 21 ]  Schubert: Octet In F Major, D.803 [ CD 22 ]  Mendelssohn: Octet In E Flat, Op.20 / Beethoven: String Quartet No.8 In E Minor, Op.59 No.2 "Rasumovsky No.2" [ CD 23 ]  Dvorák: String Sextet Op.48; String Quintet Op.97 [ CD 24 ]  Beethoven: Piano Sonatas No.8, Op.13 "Pathétique"; No.23, Op.57 "Appassionata"; No.29, Op.106 "Hammerklavier" [ CD 25 ]  Schubert: Fantasia For Piano In C, D.760 "Wanderer - Fantasie"; 6 Moments musicaux D.780; Impromptus Op.90 [ CD 26 ]  Franck: Prélude, Choral et Fugue; Prélude, Aria et Fugue / Fauré: Impromptus Op.31, 91, 102; Thème et variations, Op.73; Barcarolle Op.70; Noturne No.6, Op.63 [ CD 27 ] Spanish Guitar Music [ CD 28 ]  Schumann: Frauenliebe und -leben, Op.42; Liederkreis, Op.39 / Respighi: Il tramonto [ CD 29 ] Duparc: Opera Recitals And Songs [ CD 30 ] Beethoven: Christus am Ölberge / Mozart, W.A.: An Chloë, K.524; Oiseaux, si tous les ans K.307/K.284d; Ridente la calma K.152; "Un moto di gioia" (Le nozze di Figaro) K.492; Das Veilchen K.476 [ CD 31 ] Bach, J.S.: Mass In B Minor, BWV 232 (Part 1) [ CD 32 ] Bach, J.S.: Mass In B Minor, BWV 232 (Part 2) [ CD 33 ] Mozart: Requiem In D Minor, K.626 [ CD 34 ] Händel: Rodelinda (Part 1) [ CD 35 ] Händel: Rodelinda (Part 2) [ CD 36 ] Händel: Rodelinda (Part 3) [ CD 37 ] Berlioz: Roméo & Juliette (Part 1) [ CD 38 ] Berlioz: Roméo & Juliette (Part 2); Symphonie fantastique [ CD 39 ] Opera Arias [ CD 40 ]                  Review               Scherchens Eroica rocks. Adopting what at the time (1958) seemed absurdly fast speeds in the outer movements, a funeral march bereft of excessive sentiment, top-to-bottom ensemble clarity, and a comparatively cavalier approach to ensemble discipline, it turns out that the old maestro actually beat many of todays period instrument folks at their own game. The whole performance whizzes by with boundless energy, and its great fun. --David Hurwitz, classicstoday.com

    Treasures resurrected!
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2014*

This box arrived and I was instantly hooked. There are many recordings included that I have owned for a long time on vinyl, so it was like meeting old friends. One of the most dear to me is the 1964 recording of Handel's "Rodelinda". I lived in the Netherlands at the time and it took me five long months to receive it from the States. There were not many Handel opera recordings at that time, so this was a major find in 1967. I know the recording is now quite old and the style is dated, but the enthusiasm of the artists is palpable. Theresa Stich-Randall was not a Handel singer and is clearly past her best, but never mind. Then there is the Beethoven 9th under Monteux, the 3rd and 6th under the very modern sounding Scherchen.Bruckner under Knappertsbusch, Clara Haskil in Mozart, the great Erica Morini in Tchaikovsky and Brahms. The list goes on and on. Beautiful presentation in the booklet, and complete recording information in the booklet as well as on the sleeves. Obviously a lot of thought went into this project and I cannot thank Universal enough for making these treasures available to a wide public. Buy it before it disappears!

    Historic sound at a great price!
  

*by R***1 on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016*

Heartily agree with all of the previous reviews! This set of Westminster recordings is an absolute treasure! It has a few recordings that haven't stood up to the years well -- Monteux's interpretation of Berlioz's "Romeo and Juliet" Symphony gets a bit muddy in the louder choral passages, probably due to the age of the source tapes -- but overall, I'd say that you'd be hard-pressed to find a better all-around collection of mono and pre-digital stereo recordings at such a great price

    not what I had hoped for in regards to sound quality
  

*by K***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018*

Musicianship and Interpretation are probably great (based on the expert reviews).However I am disappointed with the sound quality.  Sounds like what you would expect from recordings from the late 40s early 50s.  In comparison to modern day hi-rez recordings, these CDs are dynamic range limited, extended high frequencies gone, deep bass gone, not great "sound-stage", vocals a bit muted.
