German conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch excelled at both Opera and Concert repretoire, and is regarded as one of the great interpreters of Richard Strauss and Johannes Brahms. Aside from conducting, he also was well-known as a collaborative pianist, accompaning the likes of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Thomas Hampson, just to name a few. At the end of February 2013, Sawallisch passed away, but he is not forgotten. We at Grigorian honour his legacy with this list of some of his finest recordings.
