Giovanni Simone Mayr: Ginevra di Scozia

Mayr, Vidal, ...

Opera Rara UK, 2003

SUPERB SUPERB SUPERB
I can do no more than to endorse 200% the comments of the previous reviewer. This work is everything he says it is and more. Elizabeth Vidal ranks right up there with the greatest of sopranos. Do yourself a huge favor and buy this work. Why this work of Mayr is not ...

Duets to Die For

Michelle Carafa, Carlo Coccia, ...

Opera Rara UK, 2002

Music to die for
This collection comes highly recommended : it is just gorgeous and beautiful music, every note. Why it does not appear at the top of all favourite lists, baffles me! If you love opera, and superb singing : treat yourself to this cd.

Giovanni Simone Mayr: Verter

Gioacchino Zarrelli, Luca Salsi, ...

Bongiovanni, 2004

An Entertaining Who Wrote It ?
The interesting thing about this work is that nobody knows who actually wrote it. The editors of the current edition attribute it to Mayr because his name is written in the surviving non-autograph manuscript, while others believe that it is by his contemporary Pucitta ...

Joan Sutherland: BBC-Recitals 1958, 1960, 1961

André Navarra, Luigi Arditi, ...

Bella Voce Records, 1998

Bravissima!
Anyone who question Sutherland as the greatest coloratura soprano of all time should listen to this CD. She sings with complete control in all the arias. I think that Mozart had her in mind for the Constanza aria. Sutherland before 1975 as a dramatic coloratura ...

Mozart - Don Giovanni

Simon Keenlyside, Malin Hartelius

EMI, 2007

ELEGANT AND EARTHY PRODUCTION
Don't be put off by the cover photo, there is not that much blood on display in this production. What dominates is an elegant 1930s look with what appears to be high quality, for the most part, "off the shelf" costumes. There is a fair amount of dressing and ...

Spohr: Concerto for clarinet No2; Mayr: Concerto Bergamasco

Wolfhard Pencz, Simon Mayr, ...

Amati, 1997

Entertaining Mayr/ Superb Spohr
Giovanni Simone Mayr's SINFONIA CONCERTATA(1820), given the name CONCERTO BERGAMASCO by a modern day publisher, is a piece that is very difficult to perform. Written for Piccolo, Flute, Clarinet, Basset Horn and orchestra, it was incredibly written for a single ...

Mayr - Medea in Corinto / Eaglen · Kenny · Ford · Giménez · Miles · Mason · Nilon · Archer · PO · Parry

Giovanni Simone Mayr, David Parry, ...

Opera Rara UK, 1994

Not Cherubini, but the romantic version by Mayr
When I intended to buy this recording, I was expecting the animalistic version written by Beethoven's favorite composer, Luigi Cherubini. How wrong I was! I wasn't disappointed though. Although Cherubini's Medea was brutally honest in every sense of the drama, the ...

A Hundred Years of Italian Opera, 1820-30

Giacomo Meyerbeer, Giovanni Simone Mayr, ...

Opera Rara UK, 1997

Another feather in Opera Rara's cap
This installment in Opera Rara's "Hundred Years of Italian Opera" project again reveals a treasure trove of lovely melody and high operatic drama. The examples are well-chosen and really lovely, making one wonder at their neglect. One can almost hear history in the ...
