Colin DavisAbout
After signing to Philips exclusively in the mid-1960s, he then produced work for the label of the highest quality and range for over more than three decades:-
• the first (and still greatest) Berlioz cycle
• pioneering Tippett
• superb Haydn and Mozart
• plus top-ranking Sibelius, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Dvorak and Britten, and much else
His many recording orchestras included the English Chamber Orchestra, London Symphony, BBC Symphony, Royal Opera House, Royal Concertgebouw, Boston Symphony, Bavarian Radio and Dresden Staatskapelle, as well as the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics.
His great Philips collaborators on disc include Stephen Kovacevich, Kiri Te Kanawa, Jon Vickers, José Carreras, Jessye Norman, Arthur Grumiaux and Claudio Arrau.
An extraordinary number of his recordings have achieved legendary status and are enduring staples of the catalogue. This set balances all his most important musical spheres, as well as many of his most important artistic relationships with soloists, orchestras and opera houses around the world.
The booklet notes are in English, French and German with an excellent appreciation of his work for Philips by Jeremy Hayes.
