'Ta bouche! Ta bouche! - Oui! Oui! Oui!' A topnotch performance of Debussy's greatest achievement. Von Stade (Melisande) is magic here and Van Dam (Golaud), Karajan and Berl. Philh. are in best shape

'és mindég is éjjel lesz már... éjjel...éjjel...' Ludwig, Berry and Kertesz deliver a superb performance, my favourite recording

one of the many great works of the french master

my choice here concerns Reich's 'variations for winds, strings and keyboards', my favourite Reich-work. this cd is a perfect starting point for those unfamiliar with minimal music

Vaughan Williams delivers a 'filmic score', a 'musical voyage', with great conducting by Bernard Haitink

my choice here is concerned with 'The rite of spring'

beautiful recording of the very impressive symphonies of Sibelius, the Nordic giant from Finland

'Si je n'espérais pas que le Ciel a quelque dessein sur moi, je mourrais ici,...' Opera with great theatrical scenes ; a very serious Poulenc here, in a very own distinctive neo-classical french style

'Du wunderliche Tove. So reich durch dich nun bin ich...' great late romantic work by Schoenberg

I think this is Finnish composer Sallinen's best symphony

'Laß den Tod dort Einkehr halten, wo man die Ehe bricht.' Eine Florent. Tragödie is a great opera in a late romantic style. Zemlinsky's opera 'Der Zwerg' is of the same stature

my choice here concerns in particular 'Anahit', a very impressive work, the uncompromising composer Scelsi stands for a unique listening experience

yes, i also like Mahler's adagietto very much, his declaration of love for his beloved Alma
