EMI's The Most Famous Opera Duets is a decent collection of excerpts that delivers on enough of its promise to be forgiven its superlative title. A few notable blockbusters are missing, like "O soave fanciulla" from La bohčme and the evening prayer from Hansel and Gretel, but overall the collection covers its territory well -- from the famous ...

Just a generation ago, posterity hadn't quite made up its mind about Franco Corelli. Corelli was an operatic oddity, a self-trained singer with movie star looks who largely learned his craft from listening to old records of his predecessors. Corelli made up for what he may have lacked in conventionally trained, "beautiful" tone with an approach ...

Maria (2007) more music like this

performed by Ada Pesch (violin), Benjamin Forster (drums), Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo-soprano), Celso Albelo (tenor), Claudio Mermoud (guitar), Daniel Pezzotti (cello), Elena Vicini (castanets), International Chamber Soloists, Isabel Amaya (clapping), Luca Pisaroni (bass)
composed by Felix Mendelssohn, Fromental Halévy, Gaetano Donizetti, Gioachino Rossini, Giovanni Pacini, Giuseppe Persiani, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Lauro Rossi, Manuel Garcia, Maria Malibran, Vincenzo Bellini

In this tribute to the great nineteenth century mezzo-soprano, Maria Malibran, Cecilia Bartoli sings selections from the repertoire for which Malibran was known. Malibran also ventured into soprano roles, and Bartoli bravely and entirely successfully follows her into that territory. In fact, the primary impression the CD creates is astonishment ...

composed by Gaetano Donizetti, Gioachino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini

Giovanni Battista Rubini (1794-1854) was the leading Italian tenor of his generation, during the time Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini were creating some of their greatest works, and all the selections on this album are from operas that were either written especially for him, or in which he performed. Rubini, who was hailed as "king of the tenors," ...

performed by Beverly Sills (soprano), Michel Trempont (vocals), Nicolai Gedda (tenor), Patricia Kern (vocals), Robert Lloyd (vocals), Stuart Burrows (vocals), Ambrosian Opera Chorus (choir, chorus), John Alldis Choir (choir, chorus)
composed by Ambroise Thomas, Douglas S. Moore, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz Lehár, Gaetano Donizetti, Gustave Charpentier, Jacques Offenbach, Jules Massenet, Richard Heuberger, Richard Strauss, Vincenzo Bellini, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

With the fine job that Beverly Sills has done navigating the treacherous waters of Fine Arts administration and as a gracious host on American public television, it is easy to forget that Sills was once the most popular operatic soprano in the United States. This is partly complicated in that, to date, "Bubbles" (as she is affectionately nicknamed ...

Although Fritz Wunderlich ranged more widely in his short career than this collection would have you believe, focusing as it does exclusively on music for the stage, no album could better hope to capture the essence of this fantastic singer. The youthful virility and beauty of his singing are on full display, cascading through one memorable tune ...
