Opera Proibita (2005) more music like this

performed by Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo-soprano), Eric Bellocq (baroque guitar), Eric Bellocq (theorbo), Jerome Hantai (viola da gamba), Jory Vinikour (harpsichord), Jory Vinikour (organ), Nils Wieboldt (cello), Sébastian D'Hérin (organ), Sébastian D'Hérin (harpsichord)
composed by Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Caldara, George Frederick Handel

Cecilia Bartoli maintains a near-perfect mezzo-soprano instrument, which she patently refuses to expose to material that might damage it; never will we hear Bartoli in voice-destroying roles such as Carmen nor in heavyweight mezzo parts such as those encountered in Wagner's Ring cycle. Even though she is a "mainstream" classical artist, the most ...

Rameau: Une Symphonie Imaginaire (1982) more music like this

performed by Les Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski (conductor)
composed by Jean-Philippe Rameau

French Baroque composer Jean-Philippe Rameau left behind an extraordinary wealth of orchestral music, but little to none of it is of the stand-alone variety, scattered as it is throughout his 18 operas and 13 ballets left to posterity, in whole or in part. Conductor Marc Minkowski has elected to redress the imbalance by compiling 17 of Rameau's ...

Offenbach Romantique (2006) more music like this

performed by Jerome Pernoo (cello), Les Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski (conductor)
composed by Jacques Offenbach

Most of us know our Offenbach through a secondary source; we have heard it either through Gaîté Parisienne, which is Offenbach as rescored by modern composer Manuel Rosenthal, or through the various versions of his opera Les contes d'Hoffman, a work that Offenbach did not live to finish. The "authentic" Offenbach is recorded in manuscripts that ...

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 George Frederick Handel

Consistency of tone and high performance standards make this double disc of slow movements an enjoyable relaxation compilation, but Handel's Largos has the additional virtue of presenting truly great music that is seldom anthologized. The famous Largo from Xerxes opens the collection, and in its form as the aria, "Ombra Mai Fu" closes the album. ...
