One of Rossini's masterpieces; a frothy little farce on the surface with an underlying sharp social critique.

A hand-picked ensemble of soloists join together with the Gächinger Kantorei and the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart under the direction of Helmuth Rilling to give a truly definitive performance of this pre-eminent masterwork.

Recorded in the Berliner Philharmonie, Berlin in 1992.

In Michael Hampe's much-praised staging, Don Giovanni appears "as the embodiment of absolute, irresistible tempestuous life force.." and "as rebel against human order, against law and morality".

Monteverdi is generally regarded as the father of European opera. His "Poppea" is a blood and thunder melodrama, set in Nero's Rome and loaded with passion, jealousy, murder and savage ambition.

A fabulous tale of amourous intrigue based on Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor". Here in a delightfully humorous production, recorded at the Schwetzinger Palace Theatre.

Recorded during the "Schwetzinger Festspiele" 1989 in the cathedral of Speyer.

Based on Henry James' novel of the same name, this gripping drama explores an encounter with the super-natural.

The film documents an impressive performance from the Schauspielhaus on the Gendarmenmarket in Berlin under the direction of Sir Colin Davis.
