 | Puccini - La Bohème / Freni, Pavarotti, Harwood, Ghiaurov, Karajan [Read More ...]
Description: The score for La Bohème comes to glowing life under Herbert von Karajan's baton, and Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti make beautiful music together as the ill-fated lovers. The smaller parts are wonderfully sung, the comedy sharply profiled, and the pathos contained in such a... |
 | Puccini - La Bohème / Freni, Pavarotti, Harwood, Berlin Phil., Karajan [Highlights] [Read More ...]
Description: These excerpts were taken from the recording that has established itself as the standard by which all others should be measured. Herbert von Karajan's orchestra is no less than perfect, as much a virtuosic performer as the singers, evoking each moment's unique mood. Can there be ... |
 | Sacred Classics - Messiah, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Zadok the Priest, L'enfance du Christ [Read More ...]
Review: A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works:This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pi... |
 | Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy-My Favorite Showstoppers [Read More ...]
This is an excellent opera collection:If you want to get a complete opera, this CD isn't for you, but it is an excellent compilation of different opera arias from various composers, most of which are Italian. Some highlights are "Vient, Diletto" and "Ah Mes Amis". |
 | Amor--Opera's Great Love Songs [Read More ...]
Review: Amor--Opera;s Great Love Songs:I absolutely love opera music, and this c.d. is great for the most part. However, I am completely shocked that Maria Callas is nowhere to be found! In my opinion Callas' versions of Vissi D'arte, Vissi D'amore, L'Amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle, Oh! MI ... |

 | The Complete Gilbert & Sullivan (Box Set) [Read More ...]
Review: The Crowning Achievement of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company preserved in all but perfection:This review details the performances more than the content of the operas. Another reviewer speaks more about the different operas themselves, and I agree with what he says for the most par... |

 | The #1 Soprano Album [Read More ...]
Review: Gruberova's Extraordinary "Mein Herr Marquis", Sumi Jo's winning "Der hölle Rache":I bought that 2-CD set only for the extraordinary performance of Adele's "Laughing Song" ("Mein Herr Marquis") by Edita Gruberova. It is highly surprising (and inexcusable IMO) that a great label ... |
 | A Midsummer Night's Dream / Britten, London SO [Read More ...]
Description: Following the premiere of A Midsummer Night's Dream, one critic proclaimed the opera "an achievement far beyond the capacity of any other living composer." Another called it "dreadful" while still another marveled at the score's "audacious inspiration . . .in which extreme ec... |
 | Britten Conducts Britten: Operas 2 [Read More ...]
Review: Lesser, indeed!:How someone can refer to Rape of Lucretia and Turn of the Screw (or Midsummer Night's Dream, for that matter, my personal favorite among his many operas) as lesser works of Britten's is beyond me. I guess it is just a matter of taste, but especially in these perf... |
 | Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy: My Favorite Opera for Everyone [Read More ...]
Description: This collection is chock full of some of opera's juiciest moments, sung by some of opera's greatest voices. Many are familiar whether you know their names: The elegant Barcarolle from Les Contes d'Hoffmann, the lazy, hazy soprano-mezzo "flower" duet from Lakme, the boastful "La d... |
 | Gilbert & Sullivan - Operettas / Pro Arte Orchestra · Sir Malcolm Sargent [Read More ...]
Description: The advent of stereo brought forth two competing Gilbert and Sullivan cycles that retain their classic status in divergent ways. Seasoned Savoyards lean towards Decca's D'Oyly Carte recordings, where the use of singing actors and inclusion of dialogue add up to a palpable theatri... |

Description: The fourth volume in Opera d'Oro's best-selling super-budget series celebrating the very best tracks from the vast Opera d'Oro catalog! Features the greatest singers of the twentieth century in thrilling live performances of legendary arias. Almost eighty minutes of music at an ... |
 | Gilbert & Sullivan: Princess Ida [Read More ...]
Review: Not as Bad as Many Claim:If Decca had left Princess Ida without a filler, I may have given it four stars, but on account of the fabulous filler, Pineapple Poll, this is definitely a five star product.
Generally, the biggest complaint about this performance is Sargent's slow te... |
