42 editions published between 1977 and 2013 in 6 languages and held by 581 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The role of Simon Boccanegra is one of the capstones of Verdi's baritone repertoire. Sherrill Milnes gives a stunning portrayal of the 14th century Genoa doge, singing with both power and poetry, and reminding everyone why audiences acclaimed him the great American Verdi baritone of the day. Anna Tomowa-Sintow is Amelia, his long-lost daughter, in love with one of Boccanegra's most bitter political enemies. James Levine reveals his passion for Verdi's score, bringing out all the drama while reveling in its aching lyricism

Mahlers Zevende Symfonie, geschreven tijdens de zomervakanties van 1904 en 1905, is de laatste van drie zuiver orkestrale Symfonieen. Mahler herzag de partituur meerdere malen. Het is een merkwaardig en moeilijk te doorgronden werk. De Symfonie bevat twee zogenaamde 'Nachtmusiken' waarin weer wat van de oude 'Wunderhorn'-sfeer terug lijkt te keren. Opvallend is verder het gebruik van koebellen, gitaar en mandoline

Il barbiere di Siviglia by Gioacchino Rossini ( Visual )
26 editions published between 1972 and 2005 in 4 languages and held by 354 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Barber of Seville, or The Useless Precaution (Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L'inutile precauzione) is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto (based on Pierre Beaumarchais's comedy Le Barbier de Séville) by Cesare Sterbini. The overture, first written for Aureliano in Palmira, is a famous example of Rossini's characteristic Italian style. The première (under the title Almaviva, or the Useless Precaution) took place on February 20, 1816, at the Teatro Argentina, Rome. Rossini's opera follows the first of the plays from the Figaro trilogy, by French playwright Pierre Beaumarchais, while Mozart's opera Le nozze di Figaro, composed 30 years earlier in 1786, is based on the second part of the Beaumarchais trilogy

Symphonie no. 5 by Gustav Mahler ( Recording )
23 editions published between 1981 and 2004 in 5 languages and held by 347 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Von allen Sinfonien Anton Bruckners ist die Fünfte die kühnste, weil sie sich in ein Gestrüpp hartnäckig wiederkehrender Motive verläuft. Sie treibt den Hörer in eine Wirrnis, aus der es kein Entkommen gibt. Das Katastrophische, das Bruckner immer auszeichnet, ist hier kompromisslos auf die Spitze getrieben. Erst in seiner Neunten wagte er wieder, an so hörerfeindliche Musik anzuknüpfen. Vor neun Monaten dirigierte Bernard Haitink, einer der ganz großen Bruckner-Interpreten, die Fünfte mit den Sinfonikern des Bayerischen Rundfunks in München. Der jetzt erschienene Live-Mitschnitt (BR-Klassik) belegt eine auf jedes Partiturdetail achtende Lesart. Im Zentrum stehen bei Haitink die vielen Zusammenbrüche und das häufige Abreißen der Musik. Die mit urtümlich dunklem Klang ausgespielten Eruptionen und Klanggewitter wirken deshalb umso zerfahrener. Haitinks Version der Fünften ist das Porträt eines Komponisten, der allzu gern ans gigantische Gelingen glauben würde, den dann jedoch übermächtige Zweifel immer wieder zum Innehalten zwingen" (Süddeutsche Zeitung, 10. 11. 2010)
