composed by Henry Purcell

Wild, passionate, and over in less than an hour, Purcell's Dido and Aeneas is one of the greatest operas ever composed and it has received some of the greatest performances of any opera ever recorded. And while some of them have been sung with more refinement or more fervor, few can match this performance with Susan Graham as Dido and Ian ...

This two-disc set is a sampler of operatic singers from the corporately related Virgin Classics and EMI labels, and like most such samplers it delivers a good deal less than it promises. The marketing is scattershot, for one thing: the two-disc set purports to offer both the "new generation" of singers and "greatest arias" -- whether of these ...

Pergolesi: Stabat Mater (2006) more music like this

performed by David Daniels (counter tenor), Dorothea Röschmann (soprano), Europa Galante, Fabio Biondi (violin)
composed by Giovanni Pergolesi

Among the numerous recordings of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater in F major on the market, and the only slightly less numerous readings of the two Salve Regina settings recorded here, this disc stands out sharply. Pergolesi was criticized during his own brutally short life for his operatic settings of sacred music, and his critics would have had to be ...

Vivaldi: Bajazet [Includes Bonus DVD] (2005) more music like this

composed by Antonio Vivaldi

Even hard-core Vivaldians will not be blamed for being a little mystified by the appearance on disc of the opera Bajazet, here recorded for the first time on Virgin Classics. A cursory glance at Antonio Vivaldi's worklist in Grove's will not make its pedigree readily apparent, but closer inspection reveals that it is given as an alternate title to ...

composed by Benjamin Britten, English Traditional

Understandably, there have been few recordings of Benjamin Britten's Canticles. Although the works are both brilliantly written and profoundly affecting, how many performers would dare contend with the performances of the Canticles by Peter Pears, the tenor for whom they were written, with the composer himself at the piano? Not many, as it turns ...

composed by Antonio Vivaldi

Compilations take their fair share of justified criticism, but sometimes you just feel like listening to one type of music -- maybe slow music -- maybe slow Baroque music -- maybe slow Vivaldi. If that happens to be the case, then this Virgin Classics album of Vivaldi certainly fits the bill and, as compilations go, is nicely put together. Of ...
