Decca has always prided itself on not only capturing breathtaking performances by the world's most accomplished vocalists and musicians, but also releasing them in the highest possible fidelity. That is the Decca sound, and these sets bring back many of Decca's most famous recordings-inspired collaborations of esteemed artists, top producers and world-class engineers. Whether you get the CD or vinyl editions, you'll find the original cover art and bonus recordings by the same artists. The Highlights set is a "best-of" drawn from the massive 50-CD box of Decca classics from a 55-year span, while the 6-LP box is an extremely limited set of 180-gram vinyl discs (only 2000 copies!). The vinyl set features Beethoven, Britten, Rachmaninoff, Wagner, de Falla and Messiaen; on Highlights , you'll hear Puccini, Mendelssohn, Haydn, Dvorak, Bartok, Holst, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Bruch, Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Sibelius, Schoenberg, Shostakovich, Mahler, Schubert, Verdi, Brahms, Purcell, Barber and more. You'll encounter Pavarotti, Solti, Ashkenazy, Karajan, Sutherland, Bartoli, Jansen, Chailly and a host of other classical masters; even that 50-CD box is a tremendous bargain for the dozens of hours of joy you'll be bringing to your ears!
