Delibes - Lakmé / Dessay, Kunde, van Dam, Petibon, Haidan, Konsek, Leguérinel, Plasson
Léo Delibes, Michel Plasson, ...

EMI Classics, 1998

The Greatest Lakme ever!
With her ability to color every phrase delicately, Natalie Dessay is undoubtedly this century's greatest coloratura soprano. Highly underrated, she could easily bring truth to her interpretation of this Lakme through her very good reading of the score and her ability ...

Opera par excellence
Natalie Dessay is apsolutely marvellous in this wonderful DVD. If you love the operatic voice, this is certainly a terrific choice. She gives a tour de force at every level, and if you cannot see her in person on the stage, than this is the way to go.

The Very Best of Alfredo Kraus
Frederic Vassar, Sherrill Milnes, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Good survey of Alfred Kraus' work
Alfredo Kraus was one of the finer tenors of the latter part of the 20th Century. He was born in 1927. His formal debut was in 1956 and he actually sang into the 1990s, before his death in 1999. This double CD set shows him in a repertoire that runs from Mozart, ...
  
  











  



  
The Opera Album
Maria Callas, Placido Domingo

EMI Classics, 2002

Nessun dorma!
This set of two CDs is a great way to listen to some highlights from many different operas when you aren't in the mood to listen to a full opera. Many of your favorite arias are here, such as Nessun Dorma, Habanera, Non piu andrai etc. But what I liked most about it is ...
  
  











  



  
Parents: The Lullaby Album
Anonymous, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Angel Records, 1993

the perfect lullaby
This CD lulled each of my five babies to sleep every evening. It is not "kiddie classical" music, but gorgeous arrangements of some of the most soothing, beautiful music ever written.
  
  











  



  
Natalie Dessay - French Opera Arias
Gaetano Donizetti, Jacques Offenbach, ...

Salut à la France!

Angela & Roberto Forever

Durufle: Requiem, Mass-Con Jubilo, Motets / Plasson, von Otter
Maurice Duruflé, Michel Plasson, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Such a Beautiful Requiem
If you're a fan of requiems (especially the ones made by Brahms, Faure, and Berlioz) then you'll love this one by Maurice Durufle. It sounds so angelic and passionate. Michel Plasson's superb handling of the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse and the Orfeon Donostiarra ...
  
  











  



  
Dutilleux: Concertos; Orchestral Works
Mstislav Rostropovich, Henri Dutilleux, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Dutilleux: Our greatest contemporary composer?
Is Henri Dutilleux the greatest classical composer of the late 20th and early 21st centuries? If such matters were subject to a poll, I suspect he'd get my vote. Difficult to categorize, the comparatively few works of this French composer draw from several schools ...
  
  











  



  
Classical Chillout
Various Artists

EMI Classics, 2002

unique movie and tv music selections
This cd has interesting selections, some from movies and some from tv commercials. All good, and a few interesting and unexpected ones, like Spiegel im Spiegel, and Peretuum Mobile (my 2 favorites). You won't recognize those names, but you'll realize you heard them ...
  
  











  



  
Faure: Pelleas et Melisande; Masques Et Bergamasques (Incidental Music)
Michel Plasson, Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse

Emi Classics, 2007

Essence of Faure
This is a terrific CD. If you like Faure, some of the pieces, like the Pelleas et Melisande Suite and Pavane, will duplicate other recordings you may have. The Pavane here is the orchestral version - no voices. But it's the less familiar pieces that make this ...
