Polygram Int'l, 2005

Great performances by the greatest Strauss conductor.
Herbert von Karajan was one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century, but -- great though he was -- I often preferred other conductors in much of his repertoire. But where music of the Strauss family was concerned Karajan was without peer. Willi Boskovsky was ...

Miguel Villabella - Prince of French Lyric Tenors

Andre Bauge, Adolphe Adam, ...

Video Artists Int'l, 1996

The KING of French Lyric Tenors
Villabella is a Lyric Tenor of an incredible refinement and style. His is one of the most beautiful tenor voices heard. He is THE KING of the mezza-voce, as high to high D, and he doesn't recurs to falsetto as other tenors to create this unique ethereal effect. His ...

The Very Best of Nicolai Gedda

Nicolai Gedda, Adolphe Adam, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Wonderful, but just SOME of the very best of Nicolai Gedda
This is but a subset of the glorious recorded singing by Nicolai Gedda; however, it is a good sampler of the repertoire that made him legendary. And, at least a couple of the tracks ("Asile Hereditaire" and Lenski's aria) seem to be his best recordings of those ...

Gioachino Rossini, Daniel Auber, ...

Opera Rara (UK), 2001

A Wonderful Treat
William Matteuzzi is a throwback to an earlier age: a tenor with a dulcet, high-lying voice and incredible agility. He makes use of falsetto in his highest notes, but is able to effect a seamless transition between "head" and "chest"registers. This album is a ...

Fabulous!
This is an amazing collection of arias from the early 1900s through the 1930s (there is one 1942 cut). The sound transfers, made from pristine 78 records, are excellent, especially considering the age of the recordings. This CD is a splendid overview of the ...
