La Bohème: The Dream Cast [Highlights] (2002) more music like this

performed by Andrea Bocelli (vocals), Angela Gheorghiu (vocals), Carlo Bergonzi (vocals), Dennis O'Neill (vocals), Elisabetta Scano (vocals), Elizabeth Harwood (vocals), Ettore Bastianini (vocals), Gianni Maffeo (vocals), Ildebrando D'Arcangelo (vocals)
composed by Giacomo Puccini

La bohème has always batted cleanup in the repertory, and never more so than at the beginning of the twenty-first century: crossover star Andrea Bocelli chose it for his first complete opera recording and director Baz Luhrmann tapped it for a much-hyped run on Broadway. Perhaps in the same can't-miss spirit, Decca released its La bohème: The Dream ...

This two-disc set is a sampler of operatic singers from the corporately related Virgin Classics and EMI labels, and like most such samplers it delivers a good deal less than it promises. The marketing is scattershot, for one thing: the two-disc set purports to offer both the "new generation" of singers and "greatest arias" -- whether of these ...

composed by Antonio Vivaldi

Even hard-core Vivaldians will not be blamed for being a little mystified by the appearance on disc of the opera Bajazet, here recorded for the first time on Virgin Classics. A cursory glance at Antonio Vivaldi's worklist in Grove's will not make its pedigree readily apparent, but closer inspection reveals that it is given as an alternate title to ...

composed by Giuseppe Verdi

In the interest of delivering a historically informed performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, and in fairness to the composer's often misunderstood wishes, Nikolaus Harnoncourt has taken pains to study the history of the work and follow the autograph score to make this live 2004 recording as authentic as possible. Through the use of appropriate ...

composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

In 2006, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth, the Salzburg Festival set itself the task of producing all 22 of Mozart's operas, and this recording of highlights from Le nozze di Figaro is a result of a live performance. Nikolaus Harnoncourt's reading of the score is marvelously nuanced; it's clear that the performance ...

This collection of Plácido Domingo's recordings on the Deutsche Grammophon label, allegedly selected by Domingo himself, doesn't include any texts or even a link to them.
