An inspiring, authoritative, chronological overview of one of the defining label-orchestra relationships, documenting 100 years of recording between two giants in music, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Deutsche Grammophon, from 1913 to 2013. Exceptional, reference readings of the great symphonic, concerto, choral, 20th century and operatic repertoire, starting with Arthur Nikisch in 1913 to Gustavo Dudamel in 2013, with Abbado, Karajan, Bernstein, Boulez, Fricsay and more in between. Symphonic repertoire from Mozart to Shostakovich; plenty of Beethoven and Mahler, all the great central works. 10 Concerto recordings: Beethovens Fourth and Emperor, Grieg Piano Concerto, Mutters Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Bruch, Dvorak Cello Concerto from both Fournier and Rostropovich. Major choral works: Giulinis Verdi Requiem, Bohms Missa solemnis, Abbados Mozart Requiem from Salzburg. 20th-century masterpieces: including Shostakovich 10, The Rite of Spring, Ravel, Schoenberg, Prokofiev, Furtwanglers Second Symphony, Hindemith conducting Hindemith, Stockhausens Gruppen. Opera highlights from The Magic Flute, Carmen, Gotterdammerung, Parsifal (all Karajan) plus historical Wagner from Knappertsbusch and Richard Strauss conducting The Dance of the Seven Veils .
