Edita Gruberova, Francisco Araiza

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

ASOLUTLY PERFECT.
It was an unfogettable evening at the Vienna State Opera and more than 20 years later you can still feel it. Just look who is there: Production is by Jeane-Pierre Ponnelle: Edita Gruberova is Manon: Francisco Araiza - Des Grieux: Adam Fisher is conducting. Can't be ...

R. Strauss: Ariadne auf Naxos

Walter Berry, Axelle Gall

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Superb, Exquisite, and Sublime!
For a good performance of Ariadne, the most important ingredient is a good Ariadne and Zerbinetta. Gundula Janowitz sings superbly and ably conveys the bearing of the distraught and, at times, aloof princess, Ariadne. Edita Gruberova turns in the performance of a ...

Cavalleria rusticana [VHS]

Yelena Obraztsova, Plácido Domingo

This title is now available on DVD
It is not immediately obvious (it doesn't come up as an alternate format), but this work is now available in a DVD edition, which has been re-mastered to 5.1 digital sound.

Verdi - La Traviata / Levine, Stratas, Domingo [VHS]

Teresa Stratas, Plácido Domingo

Mca, 1992

emotional powerhouse
This is still the best dvd version of Traviata on the market. I own five others, including, Netrebko, Fleming, and two with Gheorghiu, but none of those versions (which certainly have their strengths, both technically, and vocally) express the full gamut of the ...

Teresa Stratas, Plácido Domingo

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

She has the voice of an angel
A first rank actress in her own right, Teresa Stratas has a voice that seems too good to be true. I am still shaking my head after watching, once again, the pathetic and horrendous sounds coming from the mouths of those chosen to sing America the Beautiful and the ...

Mascagni - Cavalleria Rusticana / Leoncavallo - Pagliacci

Placido Domingo, Teresa Stratas

Philips, 2002

One of the best!
I took an opera class recently and we saw so many operas. These two among all of them are my favorite. We first saw it on dvd, then we went to see a rehearsal at the San Francisco Opera house, then saw it again about a week later! I never get tired of these two operas. ...

Bizet - Carmen / Kleiber, Domingo, Obraztsova [VHS]

Yelena Obraztsova, Plácido Domingo

Bel Canto Society, 1999

Yes!
Of course many different great artists made this production a great one but I decided to buy this DVD only because of Carlos Kleiber and I couldn't be happier.
