That centrality was reflected in a series of top orchestral and operatic posts and in his interpretations, free of self-regarding eccentricities. His modest but highly effective conducting technique also made him the ideal recording artist. Sawallisch was a Bavarian born in Munich, city of orchestras and a great opera company, which he headed for 21 years. He started his career as an outstanding pianist and remained a sought-after accompanist to great Lieder singers and instrumentalists. Volume 1 of a complete conspectus of his Warner Classics recordings (made for Electrola and EMI Classics between 1954 to 1997) includes wonderful Lieder and song collaborations, as well as famous concerto accompaniments for eminent soloists and a heartwarming traversal of Schubert's secular vocal and sacred choral music with Bavarian Radio colleagues. But the main focus among the 65 discs is on his symphonic achievements: Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Bruckner and Dvorák - the latter's Eighth Symphony was his first published recording, from 1954. Richard Strauss, an early influence, is strongly represented. This 65CD-box brings together all the non-operatic recordings that the German conductor and pianist Wolfgang Sawallisch (1923-2013) made in the years from 1954 to 1997 for EMI Classics and Electrola (now Warner Classics).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposers Represented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Beethoven (6CDS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Brahms (10CDS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bruckner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dvorák (5CDS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hindemith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mendelssohn (3CDS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mozart (3CDS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Orff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pfitzner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Schubert (12CDS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Schumann (5CDS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e R.
