Idomeneo

Johann Sebastian Bach, Andre Campra, ...

Telarc, 1991

Pure Majestic Power!
Corey is right - this is an outstanding organ CD, one of the best I've heard. Murray plays some of the largest and most powerful organs on Earth, and uses the reed stops more than the usual organist to produce great effects and a wall of sound that are majestic in the ...

Mozart - Idomeneo / Domingo, Bartoli, Grant Murphy, Vaness, Hampson, Terfel, Lopardo, MET, Levine

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, James Levine, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

The Greatest Modern Recording Of Idomeneo
This is the best studio recording of the modern digital remastering era for the opera Idomeneo, which Mozart composed as his first really successful and famous opera seria when he was still very young. Opera seria was in vogue at the time of Mozart's first venture into ...

More Mozart for Mothers-to-Be

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 2000

good opera
I have been a fan of classical music for 15 years, but have had little success finding opera I enjoy. This CD is all opera, and I have enjoyed every song.

Mozart - Idomeneo / Kale, Kuebler, Biel, Soldh, Jakobsson, Ostman, Drottningholm Opera
Arnold Ostman, Jan-Erik Jakobsson

Arthaus Musik, 2006

Natalie Dessay - Mozart Heroines

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Louis Langree, ...

Virgin Classics, 2001

Super-human Singing!
I hadn't ever heard of Natalie Dessay before I bought this CD, and I've been a fan of hers ever since. She has got one, if not the highest ranges of our time.As easy as her high notes sound, you wouldn't think she is singing high at all. The way she floats those High ...

Anna Netrebko: Opera Arias

Anna Netrebko, Elina Garanca, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Wonderful recording of a fabulous voice
In this recording, Anna Netrebko justifies all the kudos she has received in the past several years. I have several other CD's featuring her, and this one shows her range which is astonishing. I look forward to hearing her when she finishes her maternity leave and ...

Pablo Casals: Festivals at Prades Vol. 1

de Los Angeles, Horszowski, ...

Music & Arts Program, 2003

Treasure!
When I first heard this set, I thought to myself: now I know how Howard Carter felt when he looked for the first time into Tutankhamen's newly-excavated tomb. Maybe you know the story: As his colleagues broke the seal on the long-undiscovered tomb's final door, Carter ...

Mozart - Idomeneo (remastered)

Luciano Pavarotti, Hildegard Behrens

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Mozart's Grand Opera is a superb show
Following Mozart's final youthful opera, Il re pastore, which was composed in 1775 (see the fine new DVD performance from Salzburg conducted by Neville Marriner), Mozart received no new operatic commissions (other than the fragment Zaide) until 1780-81. He spent those ...

Mozart: Overtures

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Joyous Mozart
I bought this cd in 1982 when it was first released at a much higher price. It quickly became one of the family's favorite recordings. It's Mozart at his most social and a mature and self-assured Sir Neville giving an energetic and upbeat interpretation of these ...

Baroque Music for Brass and Organ

Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Telarc, 2003

It's the Empire Brass!
C'mon, it's the Empire Brass! They rock! What's not to like?

Opera Obsession Act II

Opera Obsession! Act 2

Opera D'oro, 2003

Excellent
Volume II of Opera Obession is as good as Volume I, which is to say, very good indeed. The price may be bargain basement, but the quality is not, and this is another wonderful selection of outstanding opera singers. There are few liner notes to speak of (no years of ...

Mozart: Rarities and Surprises

Robin O'Neill, Thea King, ...

Philips, 1992

Not for Mozart completists only!
A delight from start to finish. Thanks, Philips

Mozart - Idomeneo / Rolfe Johnson · von Otter · Martinpelto · McNair · N. Robson · Winslade · EBS · Gardiner

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, John Eliot Gardiner, ...

Archiv Produktion, 1991

John Elliot Gardiner's Idomeneo
I took the opportunity to listen again to Mozart's Idomeneo in anticipation of hearing this opera performed live by the Opera Lafayette at the University of Maryland in a few weeks. I have long known Idomeneo from the LP recording of the 1956 Glydenbourne Festival ...

Mozart Opera Glyndebourne Collection: Cosi fan Tutte, Don Giovanni, Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Entfuhhrung aus ...

Kiri te Kanawa, Frederica von Stade

Arthaus Musik, 2006

Great Opera for a Reasonable Price
These are six of Mozart's finest operas put on by a very fine opera company. And for around 50 bucks it is totally worth it...these are staples that every opera singer/opera lover should have in their collection

Vesselina Kasarova - Mozart Arias / Sir Colin Davis

Sir Colin Davis, Dresden Staatskapelle, ...

RCA, 1997

Vividly Mozart
Frau Kasarova is a vivid story teller. She has an expressive voice of many colors and she isn't shy about using them to accentuate these difficult Mozart arias. Hers is a rather quirky voice... I find it mesmerizingly erotic and exotic...tho perhaps not as ...
