classical music: Peter Glossop     classical music:     Peter Glossop      The Great Recordings Gaetano Donizetti, Franz Lehar, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2004 Brava Sills! A very nice compilation of Sillsiana. The different cuts on this CD provide a nice illustration of her work. Let me briefly describe my response to a sampling of the works on this CD: Bellini, I Puritani, "Son vergin vezzosa." Wonderful. Sutherland owns ...             Donizetti - Three Queens (Anna Bolena ~ Maria Stuarda ~ Roberto Devereux) Please advise if these operas come ... Christian du Plessis, Louis Quilico, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2000 How LUCKY We ARE to have THESE recordings! Well, I guess it's time I added my comments on these recordings. First, however, I'd like to say that I do not understand "bashing". This has been going on, in my remembrance at least, since Callas/Tebaldi in the 50's. How stupid is this! Does one REALLY think that ...             Verdi - Otello / Vickers, Freni, Glossop, van Dam, Senechal, Bottion, Malagu, Macchi, von Karajan Jon Vickers, Mirella Freni Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Make that five stars with some reservations Prior to buying this, I already owned two magnificent DVDs of Otello, so why bother with a third? First, this is a film as opposed to a staged production, so I was curious about what Herbert von Karajan could do with this opera, having already fallen in love with his ...             Opera Obsession! - Opera d'Oro's Greatest Hits Hector Berlioz, Georges Bizet, ... Opera D'oro, 2002 A Great Introduction to Opera This CD serves as a great beginner's guide to opera. there is plenty to choose from on this CD. Placido Domingo starts off the CD with his trademark "Celeste Aida." Next, Alfredo Kraus and Giuseppe Taddei sing "Au fond du temple saint," in Italian instead of French. ...             Britten: Holy Sonnets, Billy Budd, etc. / Britten, Glossop, Pears, et al Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Benjamin Luxon, ... Decca, 1989 TAKING OUR SALVATION ANY WAY IT COMES The strained economic situation of the classical music industry is working in many ways to our advantage as consumers. Britten's settings of Blake and Donne would never have been issued bundled together with Billy Budd in the vinyl era I'm quite sure. These days if we ...             Elgar: The Collector's Edition (30 CDs) Derek Hammond-Stroud, Peter Glossop, ... Emi Classics, 2007 Great Bargain of Elgar Masterworks and Forgotten Gems! Like Sony's Stravinsky set, this Elgar set from EMI seems to want to challenge the Brilliant Classics label by providing lots of music for little money. This costs more than the Stravinsky, but you get 30 cds here as opposed to the 22 in the Stravinsky set. On the ...             Stravinsky: Ballets; Stage Works; Orchestral Works Heinz Rehfuss, Peter Glossop, ... Decca, 2002 Ansermet & Stravinsky - A Perfect Pair This 8 CD collection of Stravinsky's Ballets, Stage Works and Orchestral Works is nothing short of magical. Conducted in its entirety by Ernest Ansermet leading the orchestra he founded, L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, this box set, while not complete, features all ...             Donizetti: Roberto Devereux (Elizabeth and Essex) Gaetano Donizetti, Charles Mackerras, ... Decca U.S., 2001 Sills and Donizetti make magic! I'm sorry I must say this, but I believe among all the Tudor queens, the most difficult role to interpret would be Elizabeth in Roberto Devereux. While Anna Bolena requires dark tones, madness, and coloratura and Maria Stuarda had two prima donnas in it that competed ...             Britten Conducts Britten: Operas 1 Benjamin Britten, English Chamber Orchestra, ... Decca, 2004 Britten Composed AND Conducted? Of course he gets 5 stars! Being a Britten junkie, I was thrilled to discover that not only is his entire collection of operas available in two sets, but the set is conducted by the composer himself. For a Britten lover, that's like getting an original copy of the Ten Commandments written ...             Britten: Billy Budd Peter Pears, Peter Glossop Decca, 2008 Stereo Sound Lack Britten: Billy Budd This recording was originally made in 1966 on the BBC. It has been carefully reconstituted in B&W and mono. Color and stereo would be nice, but the overall quality is such that their absence is not important. Personally I believe the B&W format ...             The Great Operas of Giuseppe Verdi (Box Set) Giuseppe Verdi, Aldo Ceccato, ... Opera D'oro, 2001             The Very Best of Jon Vickers Ernest Blanc, Peter Glossop, ... EMI Classics, 2005 A sampling of a great dramatic tenor Jon Vickers was indomitable, a tenor cut from larger-than-life materials with a huge, unique voice and rock-solid character. That could make him both demanding and difficult, but EMI caught him in a fantastic period when he matched forces with Karajan. The two drew the ...             Edward German: Merrie England Peter Glossop, Edward German, ... Class. for Pleas. Us, 2002 Highly enjoyable! This is a splendid and delightful english operetta! This music is quick, spritely, and very catchy. The lyrics might be a little bit of a let down if you have high hopes of hearing another W.S. Gilbert or even Basil Hood's earlier Sullivan years. This album also only ...             Renata Scotto: Arias & Scenes Giuseppe Verdi, Carlo Felice Cillario, ... Opera D'oro, 2000 Buy this! This was an impulse buy for me, mainly because I love Renata Scotto and the item is cheap. I expected bad sound quality, but I was pleasantly surprised! It's not as bad as I expected and completely listenable. All these recordings date from before 1970, so you can be ...             Verdi - Otello / Karajan, Vickers, Freni, Berlin Philharmonic Jon Vickers, Mirella Freni Umvd Labels, 2001 Make that five stars with some reservations Prior to buying this, I already owned two magnificent DVDs of Otello, so why bother with a third?
