April New Releases

 
8 New RARE Titles
 

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure—and challenge—of sorting through an extraordinary influx of recordings from a collector who spent decades assembling an opera archive of truly impressive scope. We're talking over ten thousand titles.

Our April New Releases represent just a handful of performances that immediately caught my attention. There’s much more to come, but I think you’ll find these initial highlights as exciting as I did.

Dive in and stay tuned—this is just the tip of the iceberg...

P.S. We are offering 25% off all of these titles.

Das Rheingold
 

When Herbert von Karajan stepped onto the podium to conduct Das Rheingold at the reopening of the Bayreuth Festival in 1951, it marked not only a musical event of significance, but a symbolic moment of renewal for German cultural life. After the devastation of the Second World War and the festival's troubling associations with the Nazi era, Bayreuth's return—with Karajan at the helm—signaled a bold reimagining of Wagner's legacy. Karajan approached the score with lean transparency and tightly controlled dramatic pacing, favoring clarity over excess, and transforming the prelude into something both ceremonial and cleansing.

We are happy to offer this special performance as our latest free download/stream.
