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 Jean-Baptiste Lully

The pastoral tragedy Acis et Galatée was Lully's last finished work, a three-act extravaganza complete with an opening Prologue, a closing Passacaglia, and assorted dances interspersed throughout. In the right performance, it is at once an inspiring work, a relaxing work, and even an entertaining work -- and this performance by the Choeurs des ...

composed by Hector Berlioz

Sometimes it's hard to understand why a work as entertaining as Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini isn't more popular. It's brilliantly orchestrated, fun, filled with good tunes and vivid, if stock, characters. But it's too-challenging-by-half for comedy, and too-light-by-half for grand opera, occupying a gray area between the two genres in which only a ...

composed by Hector Berlioz

Whether you think it's spiritual or sentimental, you can't deny that Berlioz's L'Enfance du Christ is a charming little oratorio. Deliberately composed in an archaic idiom and scored with the utmost delicacy, L'Enfance du Christ sounds utterly unlike the better-known fantastic and bombastic works of Berlioz. In this period-instrument performance ...

Virgin Classics' two-disc SACD collection of arias, scenes, and songs from Natalie Dessay's complete opera recordings and recital CDs is notable for its variety and contains some rarities, such as excerpts from Meyerbeer's Le pardon de Ploërmel and Offenbach's Robinson Crusoë, as well as standard repertoire.
