Георг Фридрих Гендель — выдающийся немецкий композитор, современник Баха, впоследствии ставший английским подданным.

Моя цель — делать их лучше…» На диск вошли самые знаменитые произведения композитора: «Музыка на воде», «Музыка для королевского фейерверка», органные концерты, оратория «Мессия».

The Austrian conductor’s emphasis on rhythmic, textural and structural clarity give us timeless interpretations of Mozart (his greatest love), as well as Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Richard Strauss, Haydn and Mahler. "Böhm possesses an exceptionally fine feeling for the tempo of a composition; under his baton the "correct" tempo seems to be established of its own accord.” GRAMOPHONE • 17 CDs presenting the GREAT RECORDINGS of Karl Böhm from 1953 – 1972 • Includes celebrated interpretations of Mozart Serenades and the great orchestral works of R. Strauss • Compliments Deutsche Grammophon’s “Karl Böhm – Late Recordings” box set • PACKAGING: A lift-off box with booklet including new liner notes by Berliner Philharmoniker intimus Helge Grünewald and rare Böhm photographs
