Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra - Mozart: Requiem Mass in D minor, K. 626

Mozart: Requiem Mass in D minor, K. 626

Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor, K. 626 was composed in 1791. It is one of the most famous requiems ever written and one of the greatest works by Mozart. This is very lively performance by Georg Solti and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

English Baroque Soloists - Beethoven: Mass in D major, Op. 123 "Missa Solemnis"

Beethoven: Missa Solemnis

Beethoven's Mass in D major, Op. 123 "Missa Solemnis" was first performed in 1824. This is the same year his famous Ninth Symphony was completed. The Mass in D major is a great work by Beethoven and one of my favorite masses. This is a performance by John Eliot Gardiner and the English Baroque Soloists.

Verdi: La traviata

Verdi: La traviata

La traviata, by Giuseppe Verdi, was first performed in 1853. This performance from 2005 in Salzburg, Austria has great singing by soprano singer Anna Netrebko and tenor Rolando Villazón. Verdi's music is very good throughout the opera. La traviata is one of my favorite operas.
