EMI Classics, 2003 The "Singer's Singer" I am thrilled to write the first review of this CD. It is wonderful, and a must-have for fans of lyric sopranos and opera lovers in general. This CD is a real treat, because it has recordings of Ms. Scotto at various stages of her career: the mid-late 50's, 60's, ...             Massenet: Werther Jules Massenet, Alfredo Kraus, ... Angel Records, 2002 A Wonderful "Werther" This EMI recording of Massenet's WERTHER is a wonderful interpretation of Massenet's opera. The late Alfredo Kraus (1927-1999) and the late Tatiana Troyanos (1938-1993) are both wonderful as the young poet Werther and Charlotte, the young woman with whom he is ...             Viva Verdi!

EMI Classics, 1990 Scotto is not to be missed I agree with those who find Manuguerra just a little boring, it's not a bad performance, but pales next to Scotto's magnificent Abigaile. Muti conducts very well, and he makes more of the Va Pensiero than Gardelli or Sinopoli. Forced to choose I would opt for this ...             Puccini: Tosca Giacomo Puccini, Mstislav Rostropovich, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Breathtaking! One of the most beautiful tenor voices ever, Bonisolli brings to us a warm and rich tone and a calm and languid passion in Mario Cavaradossi. His legato is pristine and no one ever sang "e lucevan le stelle" with such poise and limpidity of line.

Decca, 1991 Solid version This is an intriguing version of "La Traviata." Joan Sutherland takes on the role of Violetta, something that does not appear to be a natural fit, near the end of her career. Other sopranos, such as Renata Scotto or Anna Moffo, appear more natural in this role. ...             Guiseppe Verdi: Luisa Miller Matteo Manuguerra, Ferruccio Mazzoli, ...
