RCA, 1998

A sound buy
My Mom just got a CD Player installed in her car and since she's an opera fan, I thought I would break in the new player by getting her this inexpensive gift. Of course I had heard Vesti la giubba before and I've heard Fleming do the soprano aria, but I really didn't ...

The Young Domingo

Brian Etheridge, Franklyn Whiteley, ...

RCA, 1999

Great CD for the young Placido!
This CD features Placido Domingo, the best tenor of the world today, in his youth. It contains in their entirety the three opera aria recordings made by the big maestro for RCA:Romantic Arias (1968); Domingo Sings Caruso (1971) and La Voce d'Oro(1972). The CD includes ...

Britten: Billy Budd

Benjamin Britten, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, ...

Video Artists Int'l, 1995

A unique chance to hear the very first cast of Billy Budd
The technical flaws of this unique recording are outweighed indeed by the magic and beauty of this performance by the original cast, conducted by Britten himself. The technical flaws (reputed to be due to the fact that the source of this CD is a amateur-recording of ...

Vaughan Williams: The Collector's Edition

Benjamin Luxon, Brian Etheridge, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Great Value, Fine Performances
For lovers of Ralph Vaughan Williams' music, the prospect of obtaining most of his works on 30 CDs for $50 or less should be irresistible. It's a great way to fill in the gaps in your collection, or to become acquainted with RVW's less familiar works. Among the ...

Massenet: Thaïs / Sills, Milnes, Gedda; Maazel

Jules Massenet, Lorin Maazel, ...

EMI Classics, 1995

AN UNDER-APPRECIATED GEM
Late 19th-century French opera is often disparaged these days, which isn't really fair. Delibes had some beautiful melodies, and Massenet was a much better composer than many give him credit for. And although "Manon" and "Werther" may be more famous, to me, his late ...

Gabrieli: Symphoniae sacrae II, 1615

Brian Etheridge, David Thomas [bass], ...

L'oiseau-Lyre, 2007

Gabrieli Symphoniae sacrae II, 1615
A magnificent recording. Although the first by this ensemble, it still remains the best!

TUCKER SHINES
La Juive is the best known work of compositor Halevy and along Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots the epitom of "French Grand Opera". This is a live concert performance from London taped in 1973. The score is heavily cut but still offers a fine representa- tion of the work. ...

RCA, 1992

Responding to the music...

Menuhin & Grappelli Play

Eddie Tripp, Jack Sewing, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

always a winning pair
You simply can't go wrong with a combination of two of the most talented violinists of our time. This cd is a wonderful showcase for them both and the choice of music is the greatest classics. It's a fun, winner of a cd.

RCA, 1996

Rare Verdian tenor singing!
Little can be said about one of the world's greatest tenors with a singing technique SO good, that allows him to tackle so many diverse and difficult roles even at an advanced age. This is a compilation of moments mainly taken from his numerous Verdi studio recordings. ...
