Recordings of the legendary violinist Erica Morini (1904-1995) are truly treasures – especially ones as rare as these. Once one of the great concert artists, looked up to by both Heifetz and Milstein for inspiration, she spent her last years in ill health and seclusion after suffering the theft of her Stradivarius and all her scores and memorabilia. These HMV, Polydor, Victor, and Armed Forces Radio Service recordings from before World War II are priceless records of her genius..

Shostakovich's orchestrations for Mussorgsky's Songs & Dances of Death heightens the music's stark, desolate qualities, without shying away from ear-catching instrumental combinations. Galina Vishnevskaya's raw-nerve response to the texts and affinity for the composer's sound world border on the clairvoyant. Her husband is a better accompanist at the piano than on the podium, providing firm support in Shostakovich's Satires and Prokofiev's Five Poems by Anna Akhmatova. The world premier of

Many of Sir Colin Davis' recent releases on LSO Live have featured his favorite choral works, including Beethoven's Mass in C, Mozart's Requiem, and Handel's Messiah. The next release in the series features Haydn's masterpiece Die Schopfung (The Creation) - a work that Davis has (surprisingly) never previously recorded. Sir Colin is joined by a sensational set of singers for this recording. Sally Matthews is joined by Ian Bostridge and Dietrich Henschel. Having been inspired by Handel's

Michael Tilson Thomas is an expert Ivesian. His 1970 recording debut was with Three Places in New England, still available from DG. Here, he redoes the work with the interpolation of a chorus singing the poem on which the last movement, ''The Housatonic at Stockbridge,'' is based--unusual, not as effective as the orchestral version, but fascinating. Tilson Thomas cites Ives's desire for performers to creatively shape his music, and this disc vindicates his editorial liberties by making Ives's
