Anna Caterina Antonacci, Mariella Devia

Arthaus Musik, 2009

Devia: the greatest belcanto singer of the age
This is the real thing: Belcanto in excelsis! For sheer sense of style, individuality, understanding of what she is singing and technical magnificense, Mariella Devia is without peer. And if you consider that she is past 60, it is obvious she is a living miracle. It ...

Donizetti - The Three Queens (Anna Bolena / Maria Stuarda / Roberto Devereux)

Gaetano Donizetti, Charles Mackerras, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2000

How LUCKY We ARE to have THESE recordings!
Well, I guess it's time I added my comments on these recordings. First, however, I'd like to say that I do not understand "bashing". This has been going on, in my remembrance at least, since Callas/Tebaldi in the 50's. How stupid is this! Does one REALLY think that ...

Opera Obsession! - Opera d'Oro's Greatest Hits

Giuseppe Verdi, Georges Bizet, ...

Opera D'oro, 2002

A Great Introduction to Opera
This CD serves as a great beginner's guide to opera. there is plenty to choose from on this CD. Placido Domingo starts off the CD with his trademark "Celeste Aida." Next, Alfredo Kraus and Giuseppe Taddei sing "Au fond du temple saint," in Italian instead of French. ...

Donizetti - Maria Stuarda

Image Entertainment, 1999

Avant Garde Opera Film: The Power Of Drama
The masterful conductor Richard Bonynge served as a creative force behind this unconventional opera-drama-film made in the late 80's. It features the voices of Joan Sutherland and Tourangeau, two worthy dramatic sopranos, dubbing for two German-speaking actresses. It ...

Luciano Pavarotti - Donizetti Arias ~ Una furtiva lagrima

Gaetano Donizetti, Richard Bonynge, ...

Decca, 1998

Achingly, Heartwrenchingly, Beautiful
Pavarotti is arguably the most gifted and accomplished operatic tenor of the twentieth century. While other contemporary tenors may be stylistically flawless and a joy to listen to, Pavarotti is in a class by himself. He drifts effortlessly from the low, lyrical ...

Art of Beverly

Beverly Sills

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

two beautiful discs!
Beverly Sills not only survived being a child prodigy - a rare enough thing among singing musicians - she triumphed in a big way. Her fertile and beautiful art is wonderfully represented on this double disc set from Deutsche Grammophon. I sense today a resurgence of ...

Luigi Dallapiccola: Il Prigioniero; Canti di Prigionia

Jorma Hynninen, Luigi Dallapiccola, ...

Sony, 1995

Don't like modern music? You haven't heard THIS!
Everyone arguing that recent modern music took a wrong track with Schonberg and his followers needs to hear what happens when serialism goes to Italy, via Dallapiccola. I call him the 12-tone Puccini. What a vibrant, passionate, accessible composer who at the same ...

Donizetti - Maria Stuarda / Sutherland, Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Bonynge

Gaetano Donizetti, Richard Bonynge, ...

Decca (Universal), 1990

SUTHERLAND IN TOP FORM VOCALLY AND DRAMATICALLY!
Maria Stuarda is one of Donizetti's most dramatic operas, alongside with Lucrezia Borgia and Roberto Devereux. Once sung by gorgeous voices and effective singer actresses, it is the proof that Bel Canto is much more than beautiful melodies and difficult coloraturas. ...

Donizetti: Maria Stuarda

Laura Polverelli, Roberto De Biasio

Naxos DVD, 2009

An outstanding performance of one of Donizetti's great operas
This work was composed around the same time as Lucia di Lamermoor, being completed in 1835, and although it does not have quite the same continuous melodic flow as Lucia, nevertheless the work abounds with melody and drama to compensate. In comparing this to other ...

Gaetano Donizetti, David Parry, ...

Opera Rara UK, 1999

Donizetti Rarities
Opera Rara has done more towards unearthing forgotten and neglected bel canto works than any other record company, and for that, they deserve to be commended. The additional fact that virtually everything they produce is so well recorded, performed, and packaged is ...

Maria Stuarda

Donizetti, Gruberova, ...

Polygram Records, 1990

The best Maria Stuarda thus far!
I've read many reviews on this recording and I both agree and disaggree on various comments made. I'm compared this recording with the Sutherland/Bonynge set as well as the Nightingale set recorded 10 years after this one. I must say that by the time the Nightingale ...

Donizetti: Maria Stuarda

Giulio Fioravanti, Gaetano Donizetti, ...

Opera D'oro, 1998

Caballé is the key.
It is obvious that the previous reviewer has no taste whatsoever. If s/he thinks that Callas could have been a better Maria than Caballé I must then take her/his tastes into question. Truly, Verrett is magnificent in her role. And as always, she's perfectly ...
