Capriccio

Decca, 2007

A splendid video and audio compilation
Clifford Curzon's style of pianism is difficult to categorize quickly. Elegant, intelligent, precise are all words that spring to mind. His May 1962 recording for Decca of the Brahms Piano Concerto No.1, with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by George Szell, is ...

R. Strauss - Capriccio / Fleming, von Otter, Finley, Trost, Henschel, Hawlata, Dell'Oste, Banks, Tear, ...

Renee Fleming, Anne Sofie von Otter

Tdk DVD Video, 2005

Stylish, Passionate & Theatrical
Canadian wunderkind Robert Carsen's productions veer wildly between the ridiculous (his "Rusalka" for L'Opera de Paris) and the sublime (his recently televised "Eugene Onegin" for the Met). Happily, this "Capriccio" lands firmly in the latter category. Led by the ...

La Donna Lupo / The Man-Eater - (Uncut - Import)

Loredana Cannata, Arturo Paglia

CP Digital, 2002

This the plot for the movie so that you know what it is about...
A Sicilian woman Guila (Loredana Cannata)tries to have avidly as many sexual adventures as possible. She uses different identities and personality but she couldn't stop collecting adventures. One day she meets Valerio, a young student that falls in love with her after ...

Dvorak - Rusalka / Robert Carsen, James Conlon - Fleming, Urbanova, Diadkova, Larin, Opéra de Paris

Franz Hawalata, Renée Fleming

Tdk DVD Video, 2004

Dvorak, Carsen, Conlon, FLEMING, Urbanova, Diadkova, Larin, Opera de Paris FRANZ HAWALATA---ALL TO DIE FOR!
I have read all the reviews and accept 99.9% of what has already been said. This DVD recording of "Rusalka" is truly, "A work to die for!" I, too, bought this film because of Renee Fleming; having heard her Hymn to the Moon on various CD recordings. As for Dvorak, ...

Salon Kitty

Helmut Berger, Ingrid Thulin

Blue Underground, Inc., 2005

An erotic movie with a plot.
Salon Kitty has good actors and plenty of erotic stage production. The elaborate costumes with nazi symbols all over them did a good job in conveying the nazi era and mind-set. The feeling of madness, anger, depression and fear was present in all the characters. The ...

Richard Strauss - Capriccio / Runnicles, Te Kanawa, Hagegard, Troyanos, San Francisco Opera

Kiri Te Kanawa, Håkan Hagegård

Kultur Video, 2003

Capriccio's beauty and subtle music in a masterful performance!
Capriccio is a difficult nut to crack as some critic commented somewhere but in a performance like this, the opera becomes a delight and worthy of all our attention. Te Kanawa is in radiant voice becoming Madeleine in voice, drama and acting. Troyanos, already ...

Giacomo Puccini - La Bohème / Villazon, Voulgaridou, de la Merced, Marquardt, Tézier, Wiener Symphoniker, ...
Rolando Villazon, Alexia Voulgaridou

Capriccio / ORF, 2007

Artur Rubinstein in Concert

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Rubinstein in the indian summer of his career
Following their release of Artur Rubinstein's Grieg, Chopin and Saint-Saëns concertos, Deutsche Grammophon issues another fascinating programme about the great pianist, recorded two years earlier, in August 1973, at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Rubinstein can be ...

Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture:The New Recording

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Erich Kunzel, ...

Telarc, 2001

I would give it 4.5 stars, actually
The amount of good Tchaikovsky music on this album is rewarding. The addition of vocals to the 1812 overture is breath taking. (The other versions I have sound funny to me, already). While some people have said that the cannon sound muffled and weak, I think they ...

Firestone Dances: Historic Ballet Performances

Rudolf Nureyev, Maria Tallchief

KULTUR VIDEO, 2008

Save your money!
This DVD is of exceedingly poor quality, both visual and sound. The selections, while of note and fame, are unevenly danced and poorly photographed. It is hard to imagine a Nureyev performance being less than wonderful......but.....these are. All in all, i'd have ...

Petersen Quartett - On Tour (DVD-NTSC), 2003

There are some very fine young string quartets around these days, but I have heard none finer than the Petersen j Quartet." The Times, London "Fearless...revelatory freshness and urgency. This was risky playing, not as gaudy exhibitionism, but as starkly honest and unfettered expression, and its rich rewards will linger long." Los Angeles ...

Claude Debussy - The Fall of the House of Usher · Prélude à la l'après-midi d'un Faune · Jeux (Bregenzer ...

Lawrence Foster, Nicholas Cavallier

Capriccio Records/Premiere, 2007

The very definition of a music DVD -- an aesthetic drench!
It's not possible to over-praise this product, and it's a crime against art that fresh-from-the-factory copies are now (one fervently hopes temporarily) out of stock, only overpriced used copies. Even so, if you (a) love Debussy as the Second Coming of musical genius, ...
