composed by Charles Gounod

This performance of Gounod's Faust truly captures the spirit of France's quintessential lyric opera. Based on Part I of Goethe's Faust, the sad love story of Gretchen and Faust, Gounod's work perfectly exemplifies the elegant lyricism of the genre. The Faust theme is a Romantic subject par excellence, but the storms of Romantic ecstasy appear ...

performed by Boris Christoff (vocals), Enzo Mascherini (vocals), Gino Sarri (vocals), Lido Pettini (vocals), Mafalda Masini (vocals), Maria Callas (soprano), Erich Kleiber (conductor)
composed by Giuseppe Verdi

The biggest (but not only) caveat about this recording of I Vespri siciliani is the sound quality. Other versions of the performance have been released at least half a dozen times, which is a testament to its vocal quality over its sound. All of the versions are noisy, but this is among the least satisfactory. It's a dinky-sounding recording; ...

composed by Jules Massenet, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Don Quichotte hasn't found its way into the repertoire with Massenet's most popular operas, but it's musically one of his most attractive works. It's unabashedly melodic and evokes a strong sense of locale, which Massenet was so consistently skillful at creating. It's admittedly foolhardy to try to reduce Cervantes' sprawling chronicle into an ...
