composed by Gaetano Donizetti, Georges Bizet, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Léo Delibes, Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

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 ...

performed by Frederick Guthrie (bass), Gré Brouwenstijn (soprano), Kerstin Meyer (contralto), Nicolai Gedda (tenor), St. Hedwig's Cathedral Chor (choir, chorus), Berliner Philharmoniker, Andre Cluytens (conductor)

Andre Cluytens' 1957-1960 cycle of Beethoven symphonies was the first Beethoven cycle directed by a French conductor, but since the orchestra is the super-virtuoso, echt-Deutsch Berliner Philharmoniker, it's hard to say exactly what is French about these performances.

That ability to lend herself to the specific requirements of different composers and styles, and the distinctive beauty of her voice ...
