Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 Sentimental Beauty Ms. Kozena has a distinctively `Central European' voice. The timbre is lyrical and full, without being dull. This album of Dvorak's vocal works undoubtedly suits her well. Kozena is not only able to give an authentic account of these works, but also much emotional ...             Susan Graham at Carnegie Hall Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, ... Warner Classics, 2003 Susan Graham is a True Recitalist Though not usually one for true live recordings that include audience applause and response, SUSAN GRAHAM AT CARNEGIE HALL works well on every level. Not only is she in top form (as is her collaborator Malcolm Martineau at he piano) vocally and interpretatively, she ...             Rossini: Songs Rossini, none Opera Rara, 2010 fun This CD is all you could expect from Opera Rara - an excellent program, well sung, well presented and deserving of repeated listening.             Un Frisson Francais: A Century of French Song Susan Graham, Malcolm Martineau ONYX CLASSICS, 2008 Another Winning French Recital from Susan Graham Here's another winning French recital from the lovely Susan Graham. The selection is most varied and attractive, and arranged so that poetic themes and musical styles weave ingeniously through the program. However, it does seem to borrow heavily from an Elly Ameling ...             Bryn Terfel - The Vagabond & other songs by Vaughan Williams, Butterworth, Finzi & Ireland Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gerald Finzi, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1995 ENGLISH ART SONGS... Terfel does a fine job with these pieces.

Deutsche Grammophon, 1994 Terfel's all-encompassing Schubert recital This Schubert CD is one of the first high notes in Bryn Terfel's solo discography for DG. Although you might find him at home singing Rodgers & Hammerstein musical excerpts, or a popular Welsh song, this recital of Schubert shows Terfel as sympathetic when he ...             Songs by Schumann, Wolf, Faure and Ravel Schubert, Faure, ... WIGMORE HALL LIVE, 2009 Keenlyside Wigmore Hall recital Songs by Schumann, Wolf, Faure and Ravel It would be hard to overpraise this recital disc, as it catches Simon Keenlyside's vocal prowess in full bloom.

Erato, 2000 wonderful perforance of excellent songs I'm a neophyte to Ned Rorem's work. To be honest I purchased this CD because I really enjoy listening to Susan Graham.

I also appreciate how ...             The Radiant Voice of Barbara Bonney Barbara Bonney Decca, 2001 Rare gem of a contemporary singer. This is my first CD of Ms. Bonney. I would say that Ms. Bonney is the greatest lyrical soprano of the late 20th century (she has retired last year from opera, I saw on the internet). I've yet to hear another contemporary singer to beat her in her Susanna aria 'Deh ...             Silent Noon Bryn Terfel Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Silent Noon never sounded better. This is one of my fvorite collection af art songs and Bryn Terfel does a fantastic job of interpretating this great classic song cycle. His voice is dramatic enough yet gentle enough to allow the listener to feel what the composer is portraying.             Love Blows as the Wind Blows: English and American Songs / Jonathan Lemalu Jonathan Lemalu, Roger Quilter EMI Europe Generic, 2005 Promises Kept Some months back Jonathan Lemalu was introduced to us with a collection of Opera Arias, a recording that showed great promise of an important voice but also one that raised questions about the durability of the vocal technique. He sounded promising: with this ...             Strauss: Four Last Songs, 15 Lieder / Bonney Richard [1] Strauss, Malcolm Martineau, ... Decca Import, 1999 Four Last Songs: A new vision. . . . I have to disagree with previous reviewers about the Four Last Songs: of course, one must be famliar with the orchestral version, but this recording with piano turns a completely new light on the songs. The piano, unlike the thick and lush texture of the orchestra, ...             Songs By Roger Quilter Roger Quilter, Malcolm Martineau, ... Hyperion UK, 1996 Unexpected pleasure This is an interesting recital of songs, not all of them first-rate, but I find I go back to it again and again. Martineau is a sensitive, intelligent accompanist. John Mark Ainsley treats each song, and his audience, with respect. At no stage do you get the idea ...             Songs: Magdalena Kozena Magdalena Kozena, Jiri Barta, ... Dg Imports, 2004 An ideal voice The first reviewer's rating does not do justice to Ms.Kozena's latest release.
