The Most Famous Opera Duets (1994) more music like this

performed by Alfredo Kraus (tenor), Carlo Bergonzi (vocals), Carlo del Monte (vocals), Christa Ludwig (vocals), Danielle Millet (vocals), Eberhard Wächter (baritone), Edita Gruberová (vocals), English Chamber Orchestra (chamber ensemble), Ernest Blanc (vocals)
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 bohčme and the evening prayer from Hansel and Gretel, but overall the collection covers its territory well -- from the famous ...

performed by Christine Brewer (soprano), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Donald Runnicles (conductor)
composed by Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner

An album made up of three popular works and written by two famous Richards leads to an obvious single question: who is one Donald Runnicles? Since his appointment as music director of the San Francisco Opera in the early '90s, Runnicles has juggled numerous engagements across the globe. Trained as a répétiteur in Germany, his operatic experience ...

The Essential Jessye Norman [Includes DVD: Jessye Norman Sings Carmen] (2004) more music like this

performed by Christopher Bowers-Broadbent (organ), Empire Chamber Ensemble, Geoffrey Parsons (piano), Irwin Gage (piano), Jessye Norman (soprano), Neil Shicoff (tenor), Rosa Laghezza (soprano), American Boychoir (choir, chorus), New York Choral Society (choir, chorus)
composed by Adolphe Adam, César Franck, Franz Schubert, Georges Bizet, Hector Berlioz, Henry Purcell, Johannes Brahms, Leonard Bernstein, Pietro Mascagni, Richard Rodgers, Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner, Traditional Spiritual, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The Essential Jessye Norman is a hybrid CD/DVD product aimed squarely at the great soprano's already dedicated fans. The CD is an uneven sampling of Norman's diverse career, only some of which represents her best work; her "When I am Laid in Earth" from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, for instance, is among the greatest performances of that aria ever ...

composed by Claude Debussy, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Schubert, Hector Berlioz, Ottorino Respighi, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Richard Strauss

While these recordings of Arturo Toscanini leading the Philadelphia Orchestra were always a matter of pride to RCA -- look, here's America's best-known conductor leading one of America's best-loved orchestras! -- they are also something of an embarrassment to RCA -- look, here's America's best-known conductor leading an orchestra that's not the ...

composed by Douglas S. Moore, Franz Lehár, Gaetano Donizetti, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Gioachino Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi, Jacques Offenbach, Jules Massenet, Richard Strauss, Rudolf Sieczynski, Vincenzo Bellini, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Exactly as the title implies, Beverly Sills: The Great Recordings is a well-produced document of one of America's most famous sopranos, and most vibrant musical personalities. It is beautifully mastered and nicely packaged, and it captures Sills at the top of her game, as she was in the late '60s and '70s. Anchored by excerpts from her two best ...

The Art of Beverly Sills more music like this

performed by Beverly Sills (soprano), Michel Trempont (vocals), Nicolai Gedda (tenor), Patricia Kern (vocals), Robert Lloyd (vocals), Stuart Burrows (vocals), Ambrosian Opera Chorus (choir, chorus), John Alldis Choir (choir, chorus)
composed by Ambroise Thomas, Douglas S. Moore, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz Lehár, Gaetano Donizetti, Gustave Charpentier, Jacques Offenbach, Jules Massenet, Richard Heuberger, Richard Strauss, Vincenzo Bellini, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

With the fine job that Beverly Sills has done navigating the treacherous waters of Fine Arts administration and as a gracious host on American public television, it is easy to forget that Sills was once the most popular operatic soprano in the United States. This is partly complicated in that, to date, "Bubbles" (as she is affectionately nicknamed ...

Obsessions (Wagner & Strauss: Arias and Scenes) (2004) more music like this

performed by Deborah Voigt (soprano), Natascha Petrinsky (mezzo-soprano), Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Richard Armstrong (conductor)
composed by Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner

Obsessions is Deborah Voigt's long-overdue solo recording debut. Blazing her way through excerpts from the dramatic roles of Wagner and Strauss, she shows why she has dominated that repertory on the world's biggest stages since the early '90s. It's exciting to hear a voice with such carrying power, but also a youthful beauty that many singers of ...

What a brilliant coupling: Strauss' magnificently optimistic Ein Heldenleben, his musical-autobiographical reincarnation of himself and his wife as Siegfried and Brünnhilde, followed by Mahler's monumentally pessimistic "Tragic" Symphony, his musical-autobiographical reincarnation of himself and his wife as Othello and Desdemona.
