DVD: baltsa     DVD:     Baltsa      Bizet - Carmen / Levine, Baltsa, Carreras, Metropolitan Opera Agnes Baltsa, Jose Carreras Deutsche Grammophon, 2000 Carreras and Baltsa are stealing the show At first I have to say that a lot of operas often happen to have a wonderful tenor and a really bad soprano or vice versa. This is absolutely not the case here. Both mezzo soprano Agnes Baltsa and tenor José Carreras are doing a brilliant job with both their singing ...             Mozart - Cosi Fan Tutte / Harnoncourt, Bartoli, Nikiteanu, Zurich Opera Cecilia Bartoli, Liliana Nikiteanu Arthaus Musik, 2001 The dance of life `Cosi fan tutte' is as rich as life itself and this production does it justice. Production really is the word, because the performance offers much more than excellent singers and fine orchestra. The stage direction, sets, and costumes deserve as much praise as the ...             Richard Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier / Tomowa-Sintow, Baltsa, Perry, Moll, Herbert Von Karajan- Wiener ... Richard Strauss Sony, 2001 Simply divine Along with the recording, this cast of "Der Rosenkavalier" is really one of the absolute best that I could ever ask for. Anna Tomowa-Sintow's Marschallin nearly brought me to tears, Agnes Baltsa's Octavian is absoultely sublime, and Janet Perry's Sophie is utterly ...             Mozart - Cosi fan Tutte / Don Giovanni Boxset - Cecilia Bartoli, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Zurich Opera Rodney Gilfrey, Matti Salminen Arthaus Musik, 2005 Two of Da Ponte's Mozart Operas with Bartoli, Harnoncourt Both of these DVDs of Mozart/Da Ponte operas from Zurich Opera productions, and featuring Cecilia Bartoli as Fiordiligi and Donna Elvira, have been in release separately for three or four years. Now they are offered in a box-set -- but with only a very small price ...             Les Contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann) [Region 2] Plácido Domingo, Luciana Serra intoxicating! Mr. Placido Domingo is perhaps the most exciting operatic actor-singer of our generation and once again he proves it in this wonderful opera; his three great loves (Baltsa, Cotrubas, Serra), his rivals and the rest of the crew--unforgettable!             Offenbach - Les contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann) / Pretre, Domingo, Royal Opera Covent Garden Plácido Domingo, Luciana Serra Kultur Video, 2003 intoxicating! Mr. Placido Domingo is perhaps the most exciting operatic actor-singer of our generation and once again he proves it in this wonderful opera; his three great loves (Baltsa, Cotrubas, Serra), his rivals and the rest of the crew--unforgettable!             Bruckner: Symphonies Nos. 8 & 9; Te Deum [DVD Video] Deutsche Grammophon, 2008 A probing Eighth Symphony, an anguished Ninth I concur with the previous, splendid review. This two DVD set is an important release for capturing von Karajan's brilliant vision of Bruckner's Eighth Symphony, his personal favorite amongst ALL symphonies. I was privileged to attend Karajan's final American ...             Vienna State Opera Gala Concert / Domingo, Terfel, Gruberova, Urmana, Hampson, Baltsa, Kirchschlager, ...

Leonard Bernstein, Vienna Opera Philharmonica Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 The myth is gone! These performances are truly amazing. It's hard to believe that the fabled Vienna Philharmonic, who's dislike of Mahler is almost as legendary as their string section, is playing these utterly moving works with such distinction. True, a lot of the effort has to be laid ...             Verdi - Don Carlo / von Karajan, Carreras, Baltsa, Furlanetto, d'Amico, Cappuccilli, Salminen, Salzburg Herbert von Karajan Sony, 2002 Grand opera with a stellar cast I thoroughly enjoyed this performance. I think this is a mixture of French "Grand" and Italian opera, and the performance does it justice. The characters are a great mix of sympathetic and unsympathetic, but they are deep and complex and you can understand why they are ...             Great Stars of Opera / Shicoff, Aliberti, Baltsa, Tomowa-Sintow, Rydl, Barcellona, Sasson, Emmerlich, ...
