They're back!! Sony Classical is pleased to announce five new releases in the best-selling Essential Classics series. Essential Classics has become the staple of budget classical music the world over. To date, the series consists of over 100 great titles, with sales of over 10 million worldwide.
This edition adds five new "must have" titles to the series. Highlights include works by Puccini, Charles Ives, Manuel de Falla, Mahler's Fifth Symphony and Mozart's Requiem. Those who collected the original LPs will be delighted to see these performances reissued on CD at attractive prices.
This fantastic new collection of the works of Manuel de Falla features the legendary Leopold Stokowski leading the Philadelphia Orchestra in his much sought after rendition of "El amor brujo" featuring the mezzo-soprano voice of Shirley Verrett. Also included are Falla's "Nights in the Garden of Spain" (with pianist Philippe Entremont) and Three Dances from "The Three-Cornered Hat", both with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
