EMI's The Most Famous Opera Duets is a decent collection of excerpts that delivers on enough of its promise to be forgiven its superlative title. A few notable blockbusters are missing, like "O soave fanciulla" from La bohème and the evening prayer from Hansel and Gretel, but overall the collection covers its territory well -- from the famous ...

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 ...

composed by Richard Wagner

It took the postwar Bayreuth Festival almost two decades to find a steady Lohengrin conductor -- and even then it only lasted two years. From 1953 when the house presented its first postwar performance of the opera with Joseph Keilberth until 1971 when it presented the first of Silvio Varviso's two consecutive appearances, the only steady thing ...

composed by Jacques Offenbach

Offenbach's opera Les Contes d'Hoffman is an homage to E.T.A. Hoffmann, the supreme master of Romantic fantasy and musical rapture. The fascinating Offenbach, who appeared to some as a figment of Hoffmann's fervid imagination, drew his inspiration, as the title indicates, from Hoffmann's stories. Relying on such eminently Hoffmann-esque motifs as ...
