Diapason, a world-famous French magazine specializing in classical music, selects historical performances of masterpieces from the history of music, and reprints them with new mastering in a series called ``Les Indispensables de Diapason''. The definitive edition chosen by Diapazon.”
The 165th volume in the series is a collection of works by French composer Edouard Lalo. Pierre Fournier will play Lalo's ``Cello Concerto,'' which was inspired by Saint-Saens' Cello Concerto No. 1. It plays with a tone that evokes the beauty and dignity of the cello, which was called the prince of the cello. ``Namuna'' was originally created as a ballet, and after its first performance, the composer arranged it himself and created a suite version. This is a recording of French conductor Paul Paray leading the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Lalo's masterpiece, the Spanish Symphony, is a gorgeous combination of legendary violinists Leonid Kogan and Kirill Kondrashin, allowing you to fully enjoy the famous performances of Lalo's works from yesteryear.

No figure in 20th century American classical music had as prominent or controversial a career – or did more to sell classical music to the general public as something genuinely exciting, and worth getting into a sweat over – than Leonard Bernstein. For more than 30 years, from his assumption of the post of Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in 1958 until the final concerts that he conducted in obviously failing health near the end of his life in 1990, he was the most prominent and widely recognized American-born conductor in the world, and the dominant personality in American classical music as both a conductor and, to a lesser degree, a composer. A flamboyant public figure, he burst three different times on the musical world – twice in classical with a rush of success on Broadway in between – in a blaze of glory, in the space of 15 years; and over a career lasting from the early '40s until the beginning of the '90s, he never lost an opportunity to advance his reputation as well as the cause of music.

Sir Thomas Beecham was one of the most important orchestra conductors of the 20th century, exerting a huge impact on the entire field of classical music – and the way people listen to it, and the way people have been exposed to it – through his performances, recordings, and the two major orchestras that he founded. Beecham was born in 1879, the son of Sir Joseph Beecham, the maker of a popular and profitable brand of patent medicine. The elder Beecham was also a lover of music and when his son manifested an interest in music, the old man was glad to encourage him in any way that he could.

Igor Markevitch was a leading conductor, known for brilliant performances, especially of twentieth century music. He was also a composer who attracted some interest in his own day. His parents left Kiev when he was two years old. Markevitch was brought up in Vevey, Switzerland. He took piano lessons from his father and then with Paul Loyonnet and also started to compose. The pianist Alfred Cortot saw some of his piano compositions and recommended that the boy study in Paris. In 1925 he enrolled in Cortot's piano class at the École Normale de Musique. He studied harmony, counterpoint, and composition with Nadia Boulanger.

Vladimir Horowitz He is one of those musicians elevated to the rank of myth, like Paganini or Liszt in the 19th century. This is due to the personality of Vladimir Horowitz of course, but also to the media hype and the legends that surround him, as for all exceptional characters. Born in Ukraine in 1903, the child was quickly noticed by his exceptional gifts, encouraged by Scriabin in front of whom he played at the age of 15.

Michael Rabin managed to be one of the most talented and tragic violin virtuosi of his generation. Hailed as a child prodigy, his talent matured gracefully into an adult level, but he failed to follow in his emotional growth, resulting in a cutting short of his career. He never reached the age of 36, yet remains one of the most fondly remembered of virtuoso violinists for listeners and fellow musicians such as Pinchas Zukerman, with whom he shared a teacher. Rabin's father was a violinist in the New York Philharmonic, and his mother a Juilliard-trained pianist.

In a career that lasted barely a decade, dramatic soprano Anita Cerquetti established an immense reputation that survives into the 21st century. Why did she retire at age 30? Countless explanations have been advanced to justify Cerquetti's early departure from the stage, ranging from heart problems to ennui, impending motherhood to an instrument about to collapse owing to overuse. Yet not one seems satisfactory. Spasms in the facial nerves were an initial cause cited by the singer. After retiring for a period to rest, she returned to the stage

Dédié à la comtesse Marie von Erdödy, grande amie et bienfaitrice de Beet­hoven, le Trio avec piano no 5 en ré majeur (1808) est souvent appelé Trio des Esprits (Geister-Trio) parce que la substance thématique de son deuxième mouvement provient d’un cahier d’esquisses dans lequel le compositeur avait noté des idées musicales pour la scène des sorcières d’un opéra jamais réalisé, Macbeth.

Claude Debussy was a French composer. He is sometimes seen as the first Impressionist composer, although he vigorously rejected the term. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Debussy's music frees itself of the academicism of the late nineteenth century (in particular that of the Austro / German School) to offer new perspectives and dimensions to twentieth century music.

One of the great cellists as well as one of the leading conductors of the 20th century, Mstislav Rostropovich's passionate and virtuosic performance style sometimes seemed to reflect the turbulent events in his life, including his exile from his native Soviet Union. In addition to his ability to project with notable fullness in all registers of his instrument, he had complete command of the styles of all the musical eras and national schools in the standard cello repertoire of the time.

Clifford Curzon
Enfant prodige du piano, Clifford Curzon (né Siegenberg, 1907-1982) enseigne très tôt à la Royal Academy of Music de Londres après en avoir été l'élève. Médaille d'or du concours MacFarren à 17 ans en 1924, il se perfectionne auprès d'Arthur Schnabel qu'il ne tarde pas à concurrencer, de Wanda Landowska et de Nadia Boulanger dont il se fait l'interprète. Si ce spécialiste de Mozart, Schubert, Schumann et Dvorak est resté fidèle à la maison Decca pendant toute sa vie, il s'est souvent opposé à la publication d'enregistrements qu'il ne jugeait pas satisfaisants. Son héritage n'en est pas moins considérable comme en témoigne le coffret de 23 CD édité pour le trentième anniversaire de sa disparition en 2012 (The Complete Recordings). Anobli en 1977, Médaille d'or de la Royal Philharmonic Society en 1980, Sir Clifford Curzon demeure l'un des plus grands, si ce n'est le plus grand, pianistes du Royaume-Uni. Au chapitre de ses réussites figurent les Impromptus de Schubert (1941), le Concerto n°1 (1962) et la Sonate n°2 de Brahms et les Concertos n°20 à 27 de Mozart (1967-1970).
