50 GREATEST RECORDINGS OF ALL TIME (No 43) BBC MUSIC [on Lulu]

"Berg never completed the orchestration of his second opera Lulu, a lurid three-act drama with a tragic anti-heroine. His wife Helene banned its completion, only allowing its two-act version to be performed. But after her death, composer and conductor Friedrich Cerha took on the task of finishing the opera: this is the version immortalised here under the baton of Pierre Boulez. Teresa Stratas is an unforgettable Lulu." BBC Music [on Lulu]

In the 1980s Deutsche Grammophon produced a 10-LP set that included most of the major works by Alban Berg. Now we've updated this set, and fitted it on to 8 CDs, and included some of the very best interpreations of Berg on the markets - something that only DG can do.
