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 bohème and the evening prayer from Hansel and Gretel, but overall the collection covers its territory well -- from the famous ...

In this tribute to the great nineteenth century mezzo-soprano, Maria Malibran, Cecilia Bartoli sings selections from the repertoire for which Malibran was known.

Soprano Nicole Cabell, who won the 2005 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, is a singer to watch. Her debut solo CD on Decca presents her in a wide variety of arias, from "Summertime" to Juliette's "Ah, Je veux vivre." Her voice is bright, and while she is capable of the required pyrotechnics, she has just a little edge that becomes more ...

Italian Opera Arias (2004) more music like this

performed by Rolando Villazón (tenor), Munich Radio Orchestra, Marcello Viotti (conductor)
composed by Francesco Cilea, Gaetano Donizetti, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Pietro Mascagni

The parade of heavily promoted young tenors being signed for solo contracts in the early years of the 21st century smacked of a need to replace the highly saleable and aging Three Tenors with fresh money-making blood. As a result, some of those fine singers have suffered from their own hype. Enter Rolando Villazón, perhaps the most promising heir ...

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," ...

An Italian Songbook (1997) more music like this

performed by Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo-soprano), James Levine (piano)
composed by Gaetano Donizetti, Gioachino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini

For an operatic superstar, Cecilia Bartoli has invested an unusual amount of energy into the musicological pursuit of researching (and then performing) obscure repertoire, particularly of the Italian Baroque and Romantic eras. In this release, she brings to light songs by Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti, and Gioachino Rossini, composers known ...

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 ...
