L'Elisir D"Amore By Donizzetti
The most thrilling, exilarating, touching warm and yet funny operatic presentation of any Operatic score I've ever seen in my Life!!!!!!!!!!!!! A+++++ Villazon is the most lyric spinto Tenor I have ever heard. He is in a cast by himself. Netrebko matches Rolando in ...

Verdi - La Traviata

Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Comparisons are always unfair..............
....but at times they can't be avoided. Every new star evokes memories of the past...Anna Netrebko has frequently been compared to Maria Callas, and I will go ahead and provoke the anger of some by stating up front that Anna is better than Callas was the best day she ...

Jules Massenet: Manon

Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Paris in Hollywood
Here is the second major production of Jules Massenet's "Manon" to come out on DVD in 2008. Earlier, we had David McVicar's gritty, unsentimental production, set in the story's own period of the early 18th century, from Barcelona's Liceu Opera House. Now comes a much ...

Vincenzo Bellini - I Puritani

Mozart - Le Nozze di Figaro

Anna Netrebko, Dorothea Roschmann

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

Brilliant and mesmerizing
This is an intense and unblinking look at human relationships and the social frames in which they are set. It is about our desperate determination to fit into such frames and to uphold them, against our deepest yearnings to transcend them. There are lovelier and ...

A Mozart Gala from Salzburg

Netrebko

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

A good though forgettable concert
As soon as it came out I bought it and I felt a bit disappointed. Even though the singers are quite good, each and every one of them sing just one aria and in many cases you are expecting to listen to another one sung by the same artist. But that does not happen, they ...

Glinka - Ruslan and Lyudmila

Vladimir Ognovenko, Anna Netrebko

Philips, 2003

Came for Anna Netrebko, stayed for Valery Gergiev
I found out about this DVD, from an extra on the DVD, "Anna Netrebko, the Woman, the Voice." Netrebko was just 23 when she starred in this production, and she could not have been more beautiful. Her voice matched her beauty in every way, as did her piquant acting - ...

Giuseppe Verdi, Anna Netrebko

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Stunning Performance
I make great use of customer's reviews when purchasing DVDs from Amazon, and I confess I got no guidance from the reviews on this product. They seemed to be split between rabidly pro-Villazon supporters, and traditionalists who don't like change. I purchased anyway, ...
