Mozart - Don Giovanni / Skovhus · Girolami · Pieczonka · I. Raimondi · Halász
: :This recording of Mozart's Don Giovanni would be worth acquiring even if it sold at full price: as a bargain issue, it's almost a dream release. From the explosive opening bars through to the final epilogue, the reading is dramatically high-voltage. Conducted by Michael Halasz at energized tempi, it has room to breathe in a spacious recording ambience, which means that numbers like 'Fin ch'han dal vino' register as something more than a garbled blur. The orchestral playing is crisp and alert, with clear projection of ...

The Grace EPs
: :It was hard to imagine at the time of his untimely death in 1997 at age 30, but Jeff Buckley ended up one of the decade's most influential singer-songwriters. Buckley's posthumous legend was built on precious little more than his debut album, Grace, and the tracks he was working on at the time of his death, which makes this collection of five rare, mostly promo-only foreign EPs a welcome addition to his legacy. The two and a half hours of music here spans the three years ...

Sibelius: The Complete Symphonies, Kullervo
: :From the Slavic-tinged exuberance of the First and Second to the dark undercurrents of the Fourth and Fifth and the passionate abstraction of the Sixth and Seventh, Sibelius's symphonies loom larger than ever among the 20th century's influential orchestral landmarks. Petri Sakari charts the composer's rugged, sometimes cryptic terrain with authority and inspires the Iceland Symphony Orchestra to a generous and heartfelt performance. You won't find the opulent sheen of Karajan's or Ormandy's Sibelius, nor the micro details Paavo Berglund elicits from his Chamber Orchestra of ...

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
