Synopsis

Album Description
GEMINI features an impressive roster of singers, conductors, soloists and ensembles of international renown, all from the incomparable EMI Classics stable. EMI's rich legacy of recording expertise comes to the fore in performances from the 1960s to the 1990s. Gemini titles are predominantly collections of single composers making them the ideal place to start or develop a collection of classical music. Each set contains over two hours of music for a fantastically low price. Each 2-CD set is attractively designed and packaged in space-saving brilliant boxes with accompanying three-language booklets.This release of 5 Gemini titles will bring the total number of titles in the series to 195. As with previous Gemini releses, this installment includes many recordings new to CD and as well as recordings that have been transferred from Double Forte. All are single-composer releases, and fantastic value with well over an hour of music on each CD. Among these excellent releases in this installment are performances by Yehundi Menuhin, Leonard Bernstein, Riccardo Muti, Lionel Rogg, and others! These titles have been digitally remastered to the highest standards at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.
 

CD Reviews

Fantastic!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 2-disc collection is absolutely marvelous. Wolfgang Sawallisch impresses yet again with Strauss' Tone Poems. From the opening track to Tod und Verklarung Op. 24, the music of Strauss has never sounded more alive. I fully recommend this purchase to both young and older fans of classical music, and who knows, maybe you will enjoy it more than you think. I certainly did."
