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 ...

Just a generation ago, posterity hadn't quite made up its mind about Franco Corelli. Corelli was an operatic oddity, a self-trained singer with movie star looks who largely learned his craft from listening to old records of his predecessors. Corelli made up for what he may have lacked in conventionally trained, "beautiful" tone with an approach ...

composed by Giacomo Puccini

Puccini's last opera, Turandot, marks what would have been, had Puccini lived, a turning point in that composer's style. After having written several operas, mostly named after the heroine -- usually a frail, shallow creature who lives and dies for love in a world where erotic passion, sensuality, tenderness, pathos, and despair intersect -- ...

composed by Umberto Giordano

Franco Corelli was probably "king" among tenors past and present who have portrayed the title character in Umberto Giordano's great opera Andrea Chénier. This is saying a lot, as this is truly a tenor's opera -- Mario del Monaco, José Cura, and all three of the Three Tenors have all portrayed the ill-fated, love-starved, self-sacrificing poet. It ...

composed by Giacomo Puccini

EMI's 1964 recording of La Boheme is one of the most effective on disc. Thomas Schippers' ability to bring a coherent musical arc to this most episodic of operas makes this version a fully persuasive dramatic experience rather than the series of gorgeous vignettes that it can become in less inspired performances. Schippers had a particular gift ...
