Edita Gruberova, Mirella Freni Samuel Ramey BBC / Opus Arte, 2006 Great opera Lucia in this La Scala series was the best I have ever experienced, even better than Sutherland's. This was the first time I ever heard Mariella Devia( Lucia) singing and what a singing it was! Vincenzo la Scola as Edgardo was also superb. This Lucia alone is worth ...             Mozart - Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) Hermann Prey, Mirella Freni Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 better than I could ever have hoped I am not a great opera fan, but I love Mozart and really wanted to hear the whole Marriage of Figaro beyond the too-familiar overture. I read the reviews on this one and it seemed more like a movie than a Brunhilda endurathon. BOY DID I FIND A GOOD ONE! If ratings ...             Verdi - Ernani / Domingo, Freni, Bruson, Ghiaurov, Muti, La Scala Opera 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.

A great purchase for my collection...Thank you.             Verdi - Don Carlo (remastered) Plácido Domingo, Mirella Freni Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Verdi's opera of love and politics Under the sensitive direction of James Levine, Placido Domingo plays Don Carlo, heir to the Spanish throne, as close to the edge of madness. I think this interpretation works much better than playing him as Schiller's romantic hero--plus it's more accurate, since the ...             Giacomo Puccini - La Bohème / Francesca Zambello · Tiziano Severini - M. Freni · L. Pavarotti · San Francisco ... Mirella Freni, Luciano Pavarotti Kultur Video, 1999 Heartbreaking! Anyone who has read my reviews knows that I am the biggest Freni fan imaginable. She does not disappoint me here. Yes, at this stage, her voice is a size too large for Mimi, more suitable for heavy verismo such as Tosca, Fedora and Manon Lescaut. The voice is far ...             Bizet - Carmen Grace Bumbry, Jon Vickers Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Dream cast Herbert von Karajan was certainly an ambitious devil. Not content with being a great conductor, he insisted on "dabbling" in film, making a series of opera movies. This Carmen is one of them, and it proves the conductor to be quite talented as a visual artist. Of ...             Verdi: Otello 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 ...             Puccini Gold Giacomo Puccini, Luciano Pavarotti Decca, 2008 In 2008, the classical music world will celebrate the life of Giacomo Puccini, born 150 years ago.

Reading some of the other reviews here, I wonder if I'm in the same universe. I feared this dvd for a long time, having been bleached of hope by years of indifferent if not hostile reviews and commentary about it. I think Puccini planned that NO performance of ...             Sherrill Milnes - An All-Star Gala Sherrill Milnes, Placido Domingo Video Artists Int'l, 2005 Sherrill Milnes - An All-Star Gala The selection of songs and arias was excellant.
