Rolando Villazon, Anna Netrebko

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

You will be musically intoxicated !
This is without doubt the finest concert I have ever enjoyed. It has wonderful music throughout, performed by three world superstars at their very best, with terrific charisma and chemistry, especially during the five encores when everybody including the performers, ...

Mozart - Le Nozze di Figaro

Anna Netrebko, Dorothea Roschmann

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

Not your Grandma's Figaro
This is not your grandma's Figaro. At first I was surprised, then taken aback, then intrigued and then completely mesmerized. It's Figaro meets Psycho. The pacing is slower, more deliberate and the whole tone and atmosphere darker and more intense. And in the end, I ...

Verdi - La Traviata

Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Comparisons are always unfair..............
....but at times they can't be avoided. Every new star evokes memories of the past...Anna Netrebko has frequently been compared to Maria Callas, and I will go ahead and provoke the anger of some by stating up front that Anna is better than Callas was the best day she ...

Jules Massenet: Manon

Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Simply one of the best Opera DVDs available
Anna Netrebko creates another magical performance as Manon in this updated production from Berlin. Originally performed in Los Angeles, the production then travelled to Berlin in 2007. Anna Netrebko adds Manon to a list of amazing roles she has created on stage. Set ...

The Opera Gala: Live from Baden-Baden

Anna Netrebko, Elina Garanca

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

a very pleasant surprise
The Opera Gala: Live from Baden-Baden I had read good reviews of this concert and was familiar with all of the singers except Elina Garanca, but i was still surprised by the quality of this program. Anna Netrebco is, as usual, very good until her encore when she kicks ...

Glinka - Ruslan and Lyudmila

Vladimir Ognovenko, Anna Netrebko

Philips, 2003

Came for Anna Netrebko, stayed for Valery Gergiev
I found out about this DVD, from an extra on the DVD, "Anna Netrebko, the Woman, the Voice." Netrebko was just 23 when she starred in this production, and she could not have been more beautiful. Her voice matched her beauty in every way, as did her piquant acting - ...

Verdi - La Traviata / Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon, Thomas Hampson, Helene Schneidermann, Salvatore ...

Giuseppe Verdi, Anna Netrebko

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Stunning Performance
I make great use of customer's reviews when purchasing DVDs from Amazon, and I confess I got no guidance from the reviews on this product. They seemed to be split between rabidly pro-Villazon supporters, and traditionalists who don't like change. I purchased anyway, ...

Prokofiev - Betrothal in a Monastery

Anna Netrebko, Sergei Alexashkin

Philips, 2005

Ludicrous Beauty
"Melodies flutter above the the lush thicket of Prokofiev's orchestration like cracked crystal dragonflies, defying the laws of musical gravity." That's my lame attempt to evoke with words the angular eccentricity of Prokofiev's distinctive style. Nobody with a ...

Arthaus Musik, 2007

Opera Highlights, Vol. 2 -- It's Good, and Cheaper that Vol. 1!
