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

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 ...

EMI Classics' represents the work of Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad in its Great Artists of the Century series through a collection entitled Wagner: Wesendonck-Lieder -- Arias.

composed by Richard Wagner

Wilhelm Furtwängler's 1952 EMI recording of Tristan und Isolde with the Philharmonia Orchestra is a gold standard among recordings of the opera. The integrity of his vision and his command of the opera's large structural elements make this a version that is widely admired by listeners who love the opera. Although his reading is never rushed, and ...

composed by Gustav Mahler, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner

Despite what one might initially think, the best performances here are not the Brahms Alto Rhapsody or even the Mahler lieder. No, as great as those performances are -- and they are assuredly among the greatest recordings of those works ever made -- the best performances here are the Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and "Abscheulicher!" ...

composed by Richard Wagner

On the surface, this Ring cycle recording -- though a bargain price -- might seem like a poor relation to those by Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, James Levine, and others, or to the live recordings from the 1950s by the likes of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Clemens Kraus, and Hans Knappertsbusch. The very names constitute big guns in opera, and ...

composed by Francis Poulenc, Franz Schubert, Hector Berlioz, Jacques Offenbach, Johannes Brahms, Maurice Ravel, Richard Wagner

This is a fine introduction to Jessye Norman's work and expands on a couple of her earlier "best of" releases, but even so, it represents a limited portion of her wide repertoire. The first disc is all German Romantic works, beginning with scenes from Wagner that she recorded in the late '80s with the London Philharmonic and Klaus Tennstedt. The ...
