The Seventh is often regarded as Mahler's ''Cinderella'' symphony and, after the tragic theme of the Sixth, proves far more enigmatic. The funereal march of the opening movement gives way to the serene Nachtmusik (night music) movements, and a ghostly scherzo before culminating in a feverishly joyful finale..

Benjamin Britten's ''Billy Budd,'' based on Melville's story, is the second-best opera about life on the sea since Wagner's ''Flying Dutchman''--the best being Britten's ''Peter Grimes.'' It is one of the 20th Century's most tragic operas and the only important opera with an all-male cast. Its music evokes the ocean: the winds and waves, the sailors' songs, and the harsh realities of a seaman's life on a British 18th-century man-of-war. It climaxes in a deadly confrontation between pure good,

Despite having been an admirer of the music of Danish composer Carl Nielsen for many years, Sir Colin Davis has rarelyconducted any of his works. Now, at the age of 83, Sir Colin embarks on a complete cycle of the composer s symphonies. Although Nielsen is frequently compared to his near contemporary Jean Sibelius, each composer s music is equally individual. Both were celebrated symphonists, but used the potential of an orchestra in different ways. Despite giving titles to the majority of his

Claudio Abbado recorded a good, if not overwhelming, performance of this piece with the Chicago Symphony at the very beginning of the digital era. Well, here he is again with a vastly inferior orchestra (in Mahler, at least), and a recording of no special distinction. His interpretation, too, has lost some of its impact and tautness, which is so often the case with this conductor's remakes. If you want this symphony in digital, try Leonard Bernstein on DG, Neeme Järvi on Chandos, or Riccardo

This performance of Das Lied von der Erde compliments the famed parallel 1952 studio session with these same forces. - Kathleen Ferrier, a true contralto and Walter protege, and Julius Patzak, a born-and-bred Viennese tenor, are near-ideal soloists. - The once-renowned, versatile Austrian soprano Hilde Güden sings the final movement of Mahler's beloved 4th Symphony. - A Mahler protege, Bruno Walter's recordings of his, and Mozart's, works remain unequaled. - Newly remastered..
