Angel Records, 2002

On m'appelle Manon ... I'm called Manon ... Manon Lescaut mi chiamo
SOURCE: Studio recording made at Halle aux Grains, Toulouse, France, July 1-15, 1982. SOUND: Perfectly acceptable 1980s DDD stereo. Purely as a matter of personal taste, I prefer a less resonant recording venue than the 3,000-seat Halle aux Grains. Portions of the ...

Bizet - Les Pêcheurs de Perles (The Pearl Fishers) / Hendricks, Aler, Quilico, Capitole de Toulouse, Plasson

Georges Bizet, Michel Plasson, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Ardent, exotic, lovely - the pearl among Pearlfishers
There is no question in my mind about which role Barbara Hendricks was born to sing. In the role of Leila, she achieves a miracle. The voice is simply ideal for the music, like a swathe of silk mysteriously draped over the invisible air. The French language has an ...

Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)/ Bartoli, G. Quilico, Kuebler, Feller, R. Lloyd; ...

Cecilia Bartoli, Carlos Feller

Arthaus Musik, 2003

A Must Own Five Star 'Barber'
'The Barber of Seville' - fast, fun, and, at times, frenetic, is well deserving of its title as the greatest opera buffa ever composed. When I was searching for a DVD of my favorite opera, there were quite a few choices available; this was the one I picked, despite ...

The #1 Opera Album

Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ...

Decca, 2001

great collection
If one was wanting to introduce a friend to the wonderful world of opera, this would be a great cd to buy them. Also at this time when many of us are worrying about Luciano and his health , it is great to hear him featured on many of the selections. A great buy and ...

Giacomo Puccini - La Bohème / Francesca Zambello · Tiziano Severini - M. Freni · L. Pavarotti · San Francisco ...

Mirella Freni, Luciano Pavarotti

Kultur Video, 1999

Heartbreaking!
Anyone who has read my reviews knows that I am the biggest Freni fan imaginable. She does not disappoint me here. Yes, at this stage, her voice is a size too large for Mimi, more suitable for heavy verismo such as Tosca, Fedora and Manon Lescaut. The voice is far ...

Superlative collection
A collection of 100 individual arias and ensembles from the EMI catalogue of complete opera recordings made between 1955 and 2003. It includes a wide selection from popular operas by Italian, Austrian, German, Russian and French composers. The French are especially ...

Go to a movie theatre...

Rossini: La Cenerentola / Larmore, Gimenez, Quilico, Corbelli, Scarabelli, Polverelli, Miles, Rizzi

Gioachino Rossini, Jennifer Larmore, ...

Teldec, 1995

The 'Gramophone' reviewer is full of it.
I was so thrilled with this recording of "Cenerentola" that I assumed others would be too, but apparently some stodgy reviewer for Gramophone felt differently. I've been listening to opera, in person and on records, since 1964, and during that time I have heard most ...

100 Best Opera Classics

Emd Int'l, 2007

Amazing Value
I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection. It captures many of the great operatic voices in stellar performances spanning the last 50 years. If you are enchanted by beautiful ...

Georges Enesco, Lawrence Foster, ...

Angel Records, 2001

Wrongfully Neglected Masterpiece
I remember a few years ago when the EMI recording with a dazzling cast consisting of Jose van Dam, Gabriel Bacquier, Nicolai Gedda, Gino Quilico, John Aler, Brigitte Fassbaender, Marjana Liposvek & Barbara Hendricks - reading some rather unfavorable reviews of it. I ...

Essential Opera 2

Georges Bizet, Francesco Cilea, ...

Decca, 1994

A few words...
This CD is quite simply one of my favourites and has been for the last three years. The collection is as timeless as the voices of the contributing artists. I have traveled between North America, Europe and the Middle East with only this CD and a good book for ...

Essential Opera

Gino Quilico, Leo Nucci, ...

Decca, 2005

Great collection but the title's a misnomer
The producers of Essential Opera 1 and 2 finally decided to give us a wonderful gift and combined the two for the price of one. The effect is an exciting collection for opera lovers and opera beginners alike. Thank you, producers. However, I can't agree that the ...
