composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Essential Mozart Opera is a very listenable collection of highlights from Mozart's seven most frequently performed stage works, well suited to the casual listener wanting an introduction to this music. Assembled from Decca's catalog of complete opera recordings, it offers more uniformity of sound and approach than some samplers, if for no other ...

performed by Angelika Kirchschlager (mezzo-soprano), Felicity Lott (soprano), Natalie Dessay (soprano), Sophie Koch (mezzo-soprano), Thomas Allen (baritone), Royal Opera House Chorus and Orchestra Covent Garden, Antonio Pappano (conductor)
composed by Richard Strauss

Natalie Dessay's Amor, a collection of operatic scenes and lieder of Richard Strauss, is anchored by her all-star turn in the role of Zerbinetta. It is one of her calling cards, and for good reason: her blend of attitude, sparkle, and vocal agility are perfectly matched to the part. Every phrase she utters effuses the manipulative charm at the ...

performed by Alun Llwyd (harp), Bryn Terfel (baritone), Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo-soprano), Duncan Williams (glockenspiel), English Baroque Soloists, John Fisher (harpsichord), Malcolm Martineau (piano), Martin Taylor (guitar), Neil Martin (pipe), Thomas Allen (baritone)
composed by American Traditional, Arthur Sullivan, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Schubert, Frederick Loewe, George Frederick Handel, Giuseppe Verdi, Gustav Mahler, Hector Berlioz, Ivor Gurney, James P. Carrell, John Hughes, John Ireland, John Rutter, Richard Rodgers

Neither the title A Song in My Heart nor the subtitle "Portrait of the Artist" quite gets across what this album is: a selection, by Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel himself, of his own favorites from the roughly 30 he has recorded for the Deutsche Grammphon label. He's a prolific guy, and his talents range from Wagner to Welsh-language songs to ...

composed by Henry Purcell, John Blow, Pelham Humfrey, William Croft

With one singer to a part and very sparing use of continuo, this 2006 Virgin recording of Divine Hymns by Henry Purcell, William Croft, John Blow, and Pelham Humfrey is both lively and severe. Performed by Les Arts Florissants under the direction of William Christie, the works here express a huge emotional range, and the singers -- tenor Paul ...

Gluck: Iphigénie en Tauride (2004) more music like this

composed by Christoph Willibald Gluck

Recordings of Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride run the stylistic gamut. And while, say, the full-blooded, almost Verdian, productions starring Maria Callas in the 1950s would never be confused with the more scholarly efforts from recent years, they are inarguably aspects of the same piece. John Eliot Gardiner's 1985 recording, starring Diana Montague, ...

performed by Ann Murray (mezzo-soprano), Catrin Wyn Davies (soprano), Christopher Maltman (baritone), Elizabeth Layton (violin), Felicity Lott (soprano), Janice Watson (soprano), John Mark Ainsley (tenor), Krysia Osostowicz (violin), Malcolm Martineau (piano)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Like those of his predecessor Franz Josef Haydn, the British folk song settings of Ludwig van Beethoven are an underappreciated corner of his output. Commissioned by Scotsman George Thomson for publication as parlor music, they present a simple, rustic face that hides a deceptively clever and often technically demanding musical texture. Indeed, ...

First the good news: the music is by Schubert, the lyrics are by Schiller, the singing is by Thomas Allan, and the accompaniment is by Graham Johnson. Now the bad news: there are not one but two interminable and almost unlistenable ballades included in this program of otherwise wonderful songs. So while most of the songs in this volume of Johnson ...
