Verdi - Giovanna d'Arco / Susan Dunn, Vincenzo La Scola, Renato Bruson, Pietro Spagnoli, Riccardo Chailly, ...

Real Giguere, Bruson

Kultur Video, 2006

A very good performance of a rarely heard opera
Although Giovanna d'arco is not one of Verdi's best operas, it is very enjoyable, especially for opera lovers who want to go beyond the standard operas we hear all the time. This was very well performed and recorded. My only real complaint is that it did not have a ...

Plácido Domingo, Renato Bruson

Kultur Video, 2004

MIRELLA FRENI CHANGES THE NAME OF THE OPERA
WHEN VERDI WROTE "ERNANI" (1844), HE WAS FASCINATED BY THE VOICE OF TENOR GAETANO FRASCHINI (1818-1887), THUS HE MADE THE TENOR'S ROLE THE TITLE-ROLE. IF HE HAD WRITTEN THIS OPERA ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER, AND HEARD MIRELLA'S VOICE SOARING ABOVE THE WHOLE CAST AT THE ...

Leoncavallo - I Pagliacci / Mascagni - Cavalleria Rusticana / Domingo, Stratas, Pons, Bruson, Obraztsova, ...

Teresa Stratas, Plácido Domingo

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

Top Pagliacci
Leoncavallo's Pagliacci is one of the verismo cornerstones of the Italian repertory. This performance does justice to the hot-blooded score with magnificent singing by tenor, Placido Domingo and Teresa Stratas. Conductor Georges Pretre, not usually associated with ...

Verdi - La Traviata

Renee Fleming, Rolando Villazon

Decca, 2007

Beautiful Woman Beautiful Singing
The part for Violetta, a beautiful young woman, is actually played by a beautiful young woman. Renee Fleming is perfect in the role. All the other parts are filled with the perfect singer to play them as well. This may be the most perfect production possible, so ...

Essential Verdi - 40 of His Greatest Masterpieces (2 CD Set)

Giuseppe Verdi, Alberto Erede, ...

Decca, 2001

Just Stunning!
In my opinion this recording is stunning. I am not usually a fan of compilations in classical music, as they're usually watered down representations made under the presumption that the listener would find the full-blown version intimidating or boring. This one, ...

Amazing Value
I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection. It captures many of the great operatic voices in stellar performances spanning the last 50 years. If you are enchanted by beautiful ...

Aria II: A Passion for Opera

EMI Classics, 1995

Verdi - Nabucco / Muti, Bruson, Dimitrova, Burchuladze, Becaria, Pierotti, La Scala

Renato Bruson, Bruno Beccaria

Kultur Video, 2004

An excellent performance
This is an excellent traditional performance of a very good opera. Since it is an older recording, it is in 2 channel dolby rather than the newer surround formats, but that is not really a problem for me. Although the Metropolitan Opera DVD is also a great performance, ...

Donizetti: Maria di Rohan

Gaetano Donizetti, Gianandrea Gavazzeni, ...

Opera D'oro, 2004

Fine cast--fine performance!
Maria di Rohan is a wonderful bel canto opera written toward the end of Donizetti's life. The cast on this live 1974 production does the composer justice right from the start with tenor Grilli pouring out heroic sounds in the first major aria. For you Renata Scotto ...

Verdi: Un Ballo in Maschera

Giuseppe Verdi, Georg Solti, ...

Decca, 2002

A True Standard Bearer
Verdi's UN BALLO IN MASCHERA has been one of his perennial favorites since it was first performed and it is easy to understand why. The music is charming and it's plot about a King who falls in love with a married woman, almost causes her to be unfaithful which results ...

Renata Scotto - Italian Opera Arias

Giacomo Puccini, Alfredo Catalani, ...

Sony, 1998

a thinking man's singer
The older I get the more I appreciate Scotto the singer. Her musicianship was always apparent, always admired. Yet she may have been underestimated as a singer. Her embodiment of the intense inner life of the characters she portrayed is rightfully legendary, but I've ...

Verdi - Falstaff

Renato Bruson, Katia Ricciarelli

Kultur Video, 2007

Superb Acting
A great production at the Royal Opera House. The characters are cast beautifully, the acting is superb, and the singing utter delight.

Verdi - La Traviata / Bonfadelli, Piper, Bruson, Ricci, Peebo, Leveroni, Domingo, Busseto

Renato Bruson, Stefania Bonfadelli

Tdk DVD Video, 2003

Simply beautiful!!
There are only a few DVDs of Traviata and I own this one and Solti/Gheorghiu version at Covent Garden. In short, they are both 'to die for'. In my opinion, DVDs are the next best thing to the San Francisco, or for that matter, any other Opera House. Bonfadelli does not ...
