Sony Classical is delighted to offer lovers of singing another ten complete recordings from the RCA Red Seal, CBS/Sony Classical and Eurodisc catalogues. The latest instalment of this wide-ranging series not only features some of the greatest voices of the last century but also spotlights once popular works that have been unduly neglected in recent times. The new batch also features two central-European landmarks from the 1920s. Irrelohe, a Gothic horror story of rape, pillage and arson by the Austrian composer Franz Schreker, was premiered in 1924. The "thoroughly committed" (Gramophone) 1989 live Austrian Radio recording stars Luana De Vol, Monte Pederson, Heinz Zednik and Eva Randova. Wrote the BBC Music Magazine, "the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Peter Gulke gives a suitably fiery reading of the score. Another essential buy for the collector of musical decadence and 'degeneracy'.".
