Jane Eaglen

Peter Mattei, Jan-Hendrik Rootering, ...

Decca, 2001

Shattering and Brilliant
Aside from the Horenstein version with the London, this may be the best conducted recording of this masterwork. The recording itself is sonically unbeliveable, near window-breaking at times (much like Maestro Chailly's wonderful Third). I agree with the amazon.com ...

Mahler 8 [DVD Audio]

Peter Mattei, Jan-Hendrik Rootering, ...

Decca, 2003

THE MOST SPECTULAR EIGHTH
I now own 10 versions of the 8th , and without doubt, this is the most exciting version to date. Not only because that C Major is used more in this performance then in any other performance I have yet to listen to. The Organ is so important to this symphony and yet , ...

Schulhoff: Flammen

Erwin Schulhoff, John Mauceri, ...

Polygram Records, 1996

Modern, yes, but fascinating
A 20th century German work, but not purely in the Strauss-Schrecker-Korngold vein. However, not purely late Schoenberg atonality either. Think of the lyrical side of Berg (albeit, not with the shattering emotional impact of Wozzeck) scented with post-romanticism. The ...

Jane Eaglen - Four Last Songs, Wesendonck-Lieder, Seven Early Song / Runnicles

Richard Wagner, Alban Berg, ...

Sony, 2000

Great Vier letzte lieder
Jane,one of my favorite soprano(spinto and dramatic are my favourite),i bought all her album,although some of them are not as good as u think,anyway she indeed a good singer,her four last songs is good(i dislike schwarzkopf's vier letzte lieder,as she voice is too ...

Bruckner - Messe No. 3 · Te Deum / Eaglen · Remmert · van der Walt · Muff · London Phil. · Welser-Möst

Anton Bruckner, Franz Welser-Most, ...

EMI Classics Imports, 1997

Really overwhelming !
Even if I'm a longtime Bruckner fan, I came to these works only lately. I admit that I usually like my music "abstract" and I don't listen a lot to "vocal" music , whether sacred or profane. I guess I feel the presence of a sung text and/or a "program" like a ...

Strauss: Eine Alpensinfonie; Bruckner: Te Deum
Alfred Muff, Anton Bruckner, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Wagner: Gotterdammerung - Siegfried Jerusalem, Eva Marton, Theo Adam, Thomas Hampson, Bernard Haitink

Richard Wagner, Bernard Haitink, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Great Value Gotterdamerung
You can't beat this recording for the money. Haitink belongs to the school of more up-tempo Wagner conductors, not as fast as Boulez or Bohm, but faster than Solti, and much faster than the more measured (some might say ponderous) school of Wagnerian conducting, ...

Sony Classical: Great Performances 1903-1998

Giuseppe Campanari, Edgar Meyer, ...

Sony, 1999

A touch of history....
An exceptional set. The history of music making of the 20th century in 4 CDs. Even from the first track with Giuseppe Campanari and Charles Adams Prince you can see that people put much time in collecting the best interpretations and putting together an amazing ...

Beethoven: Symphonie Nr. 9

Ludwig van Beethoven, Claudio Abbado, ...

Sony, 2004

Still the best recording of the Beethoven 9th Symphony currently available
Although I greatly admire Bernard Haitink's recent LSO Live recording of this work, using the same Barenreiter Edition score, I still regard Abbado's Sony live recording (1996 Salzburg Easter Festival) as one of the most impressive, definitive recordings of the ...

Escape Through Opera

Luciano Pavarotti, Jane Eaglen, ...

Sony, 2001

If you adore opera as I do you will treasure this and play it repeatedly
What a lush and lovely collection, featuring one magical and exquisite presentation after another! As I said, if you adore opera then you will treasure these CDs. The 2 CD album states: Long drives, Lazy afternoons, Romantic dinners. My favorite however is to put it on ...

Jane Eaglen - Bellini & Wagner

Vincenzo Bellini, Richard Wagner, ...

Sony, 1996

Not Whitney Houston
The British soprano Jane Eaglen has chosen selections from Bellini and Wagner for her first recording, and what an amazing CD this is. Apparently there isn't much she isn't capable of doing with this glorious voice. From pianissimo high notes to the dramatic, her voice ...

Puccini: Tosca

Andrew Shore, Ashley Holland, ...

Chandos, 1996

Awesome find
Being a fan of Jane Eaglen, I must admit that I was swept away with her in this recording. This is probably the best performance one can find of her, at this point. Part of a series of Operas sung in English, Tosca is a good recording. All were understandble most of ...

Richard Wagner: Götterdämmerung

Richard Wagner, Bernard Haitink, ...

Angel Records, 1992

A great recording, with exceptionbal conducting, vocals
This Gotterdamerung has incredibly deep volume and richness all the way through. Bernard Haitink is so committed and immersed in this, it's as if he will never conduct anything else. The fabulous singers are wed to this sound style, and so you have Eva Marton ...

Jane Eaglen - Italian Opera Arias

Arrigo Boito, Alfredo Catalani, ...

Sony, 2001

MAGNIFICENT ARIAS RICHLY DELIVERED
Sung with beauty, energy, and endurance these well-loved arias are superbly rendered by soprano Jane Eaglen. Butterfly, Margherita, and Sister Angelica have seldom been given such heartfelt life. This CD focuses on the work of the incomparable Giacomo Puccini, ...

Jane Eaglen - Mozart & Strauss / Zubin Mehta

Richard Strauss, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Sony, 1998

Than you God for Jane Eaglen!
Words fail me when trying to describe the awe one gets after listening to this singer. Live or on Disc few can match Jane in Talent, musicality, or beauty of tone. What a blessing she is to those who love opera. I Love this CD and all the wonderful excerpt featured ...
