Giuseppe Verdi, Riccardo Muti, ...

Angel Records, 1991

Gorgeous, Underrated But Perhaps Not The Best Vespri Recording

Alfredo Catalani: Edmea

Marco Chingari, Angelo Nosotti, ...

Bongiovanni, 1995

An unjustly neglected gem
Alfredo Catalani's tombstone describes him as the composer of four operas: "Dejanice," "Edmea," "Loreley," and "La Wally." (The earlier "Elda" was revised as "Loreley.") Of these there can be little doubt that "Edmea," the middle work of Catalani's tragically short ...

Giordano: La Cena delle Beffe

Alberto Carusi, Carlo Micalucci, ...

Bongiovanni, 1995

Interbellum decadence
Italian verismo burst on the scene at the end of the 19th century and only Puccini grew stronger. Mascagni and Leoncavallo would be associated with one short opera each, and Umberto Giordano would be known for ANDREA CHENIER (1896). Of his 15 operas, THE SUPPER OF ...

Verdi - I Vespri Siciliani

Giorgio Zancanaro, Enzo Capuano

Image Entertainment, 1998

Vocal feast
NOTE: Be sure to buy the less expensive release now available (I just bought this one at more than twice the other's price...!!!). This is a rich rich melodic feast sung by wonderful voices...particularly the baritone and bass. Contrary to other reviews here,I don't ...

Giacomo Puccini: La Fanciulla Del West

Pietro Spagnoli, Luigi Roni, ...

Sony, 1992

AN OPERA WITH A HAPPY ENDING
I am surprised to see that nobody has revied this opera. Although I know that many of you still think that La Tebaldi was the best, I encourage you to hear Mara Zampieri. In the second act she is wonderful. The innoncence and naivete of Minnie is so well depicted that ...

Classical Evolution: Mozart: Marriage of Figaro (Highlights)

Claudio Otelli, Marco Chingari, ...

Delta, 2002

Compilation but still excellent
This recording is not your typical opera highlights. Instead of taking the best parts of a complete opera recording, this is a compilation of recordings by different soloists, conductors and orchestras. However, all the performances are excellent and strangely enough ...

Masters of Opera Vol 6-10 (1843-1926)
Lajos Miller, Lamberto Gardelli, ...

Delta, 1993

Masters of the Opera, 1642-1926 (Box Set)

Claudio Otelli, Hermann Prey, ...

Delta, 1993

Incredible Value
The recordings are crisp, the performers are big stars. The selections are nicely arranged. Being a Mozart fan, I think the first two discs are worth the price of the entire set. Look at the selections! It's all here and it's all great recordings.
