Richard Wagner: Leopold Stokowski

Search: Gold
from: Andante

Release Date July 08, 2003
Please don't let the age of these recordings (1920s-1940) dissuade you from experiencing some of the greatest Wagner playing ever captured, whether in live concert or in the studio.

Once again, Ward Marston has achieved miracles of sonic restoration, this time letting us hear anew the majesty and splendor of these justly famed performances by Stokowski and his fabulous Philadelphians. Even in dimmer transfers of this and other early-Philadelphia material, attentive listeners could sense that Stokowski was the man to whom Philadelphia owed its trademark sonic profile and often-staggering virtuosity (which Ormandy kept alive and well into the stereo era). Thanks to the tireless ministrations of Marston (surely the patron saint of ... Read More:

Beethoven: Fidelio [Australia]

Search: Gold
by: Beethoven, Solti, Behrens, Hofmann, Sotin

Release Date August 09, 2004
CAST: Hildegrad Behrens [Leonore] ** Peter Hofmann [Florestan] ** Hans Sotin [Rocco] ** Theo Adam [Don Pizarro] ** Sona Ghazarian [Marzelline] ** David Kuebler [Jaquino] ** Gwynne Howell [Don Fernando] ** Robert Johnson [Erster Gefangener] ** Philip Kraus [Zweiter Gefangerer] ** Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus ** Sir Georg Solti (conductor)

ABOUT THIS RECORDING: A studio recording from the 80's, this is possibly conductor George Solti's greatest interpretation and reading of an operatic score. He trained the Chicago Symphony to resplendent results. The orchestra is both lyrical and subdued but passionate and boiling over with dramatic tension. There is a natural freshness and vitality to the music, and if this recording received ... Read More:

Very Best of Jackie Martling's Talking Joke Book Cassettes, Vol. 1

Search: Gold
by: Jackie Martling

Release Date November 02, 1999
If you're a regular listener of the Howard Stern radio (& TV) show, you're already familiar with Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling. He's known as the show's Head Writer... but he got his start touring the comedy club circuit and telling dirty jokes. No poking fun at the state of government, no Seinfeld-esque observational humor, just... jokes.

COME AGAIN? is a "best of" compilation, showcasing some of Jackie's greatest hits during his 'formative' comedy club years (mainly the 80's), both before and after becoming a fixture of the Stern show. The yuks contained within are racist, sexist, and full of frank sexual references, toilet humor, and un-PC ideologies... you know, the good stuff. The kind of jokes you'd leave on a friend's ...
