Is Callas' voice per se exceptionally beautiful, bearing in mind that once upon a time the standard was gracefulness and pleasentness to the ears? Before Callas, we have Tebaldi and Schwarkopf... Nevertheless with Callas, we surely have a most incredible voice of the century. Incredible in the sense that she could cover literally a range of 2.5 octaves with ease (not even Caballe could do ...             The Very Best of Maria Callas48 reviews Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ... EMI Classics, 2002 Now I understand! I grew up on opera but not on Maria Callas. Joan Sutherland, Schwartzkoff, Victoria Los Angeles, and Mady Mesple (to name a few) crowded the airwaves of our home growing up. I had heard that Maria Callas was THE Diva of opera and bought one of her obscure recordings from a low budget bin while in Paris 10 years ago. It didn't impress me that much. Perhaps it was recorded during her voice decline. ...             Great Tenor Arias16 reviews Juan Diego Florez Decca, 2004 The Tenor who Aims at Vocal Perfection And rightly he will get to the top. JDF's Great Tenor Arias are not meant for casual listening. The choice or songs are a bit on the 'rare' side - even the aria from Du Fille di Regiment is an 'alternative' aria to the well-known one with 9 High-Cs. The timbre of JDF may cause certain 'fatigue' with over-listening, so I wonder if I will be one for his solo recital, at least judging from the ...             Classical Heartbreakers4 reviews Lászlo Varga, Robert Cohen, ... EMI Classics, 2004 A Fantastic Compilation Most of the musical pieces in this compilation are from versions as they appear in various movies. This is Classical music from classic movies such as: Somewhere in Time, Schindler's List, English Patient, The Piano, Platoon, et al. But make no mistake; the music is what's really worth mentioning here. The title says it all. It claims to have "the most moving Classical music of all time," and ...             Gluck - Orphée et Euridice (1774 Paris Version)5 reviews Christoph Willibald Gluck, Ryan Brown, ... Naxos, 2005 A New Recording of Gluck's Orphee et Euridice I was excited when I learned that Naxos was about to release a new CD of Gluck's Orphee et Euridice performed by the Opera Lafeyette Opera and Chorus. Gluck's opera is one of my longest-lived musical passions. I had the good fortune to hear the Opera Lafayette perform this opera live at the Clarice Smith Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Maryland. (The performance was a ...             The Ultimate Aria Collection ~ A Passion for Opera4 reviews Georges Bizet, Giuseppe Verdi, ... EMI Classics, 1998 Ultimate indeed If you don't like the idea of buying whole operas, or if you're a newcomer to opera - this is an extremely good collection / introduction, worth every single cent. The collection features many of the worlds greatest singers, giving their interpretations of some of the world's greatest arias. The compilation itself is very tasteful and covers a wide range from Handel to early 20th century ...             Susan Graham - Mozart & Gluck Arias ~ Il tenero momento12 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Christoph Willibald Gluck, ... Erato, 2001 An album that is very dear to my heart First my Dad dies unexpectedly and the September 11th attack happens two weeks later. A very unhappy and distressing time in my life. I spent much of this time alone at my parent's home sitting in their big garden on Sunday afternoons listening to this CD and drinking some wine. It helped me make sense of the world around me and my own world at the time - beauty and truth continue to exist even ...             Gluck - Orphée et Eurydice / David Hobson, Amanda Thane, Miriam Gormley, Marco Guidarini, Opera Australia10 reviews David Hobson, Marco Guidarini Kultur Video, 2006 beautiful production and wonderful performances...... I have been a big fan of David Hobson, one of my favorite tenors of all time, since when I first saw him in Baz Luhrmann's production of La Boheme. This amazing Australian opera singer has a wonderfully rich quality in his voice and it is showcased in all his performances. This 1993 production of Orphee et Eurydice is just as beautiful, with Hobson as Orpheus, the faithful husband who descends ...             Dolora Zajick - The Art of the Dramatic Mezzo-Soprano13 reviews Francesco Cilea, Christoph Willibald Gluck, ... Telarc, 2000 Dolora is amazing! This CD is awesome! Dolora has an incredible vocal ability! I am a high school student, and several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to actually sing on stage with her at my high school in Orem, Utah. I was blown away by the power of her voice; it made me feel insignificant. She was very kind and encouraging, and offered good advice even though I must have sounded terrible next to her. Anyhow, I ...             The Opera Album8 reviews Maria Callas, Placido Domingo, ... EMI Classics, 2002 Wonderful selections sung by the best I am not an expert at opera but have come to appreciate it in recent years. This is a 2-disc album that you fully get your money's worth, as it is filled with some of the very best favorites from the world of opera, performed by the best opera singers of our time. I recently did a cross country trip, and transformed some very boring stretches with a wonderful night at the opera thanks to having ...             The First Recordings of Ginette Neveu; The Complete Recordings of Josef Hassid10 reviews Joseph Achron, Frederic Chopin, ... Testament UK, 1993 Pathos and beauty luminate in Hassid's complete recordings I have grown up listening to many, many violinists, but was never exposed to Josef Hassid until a few months ago, after watching the "Great Violinists of the 20th Century," a documentary. Hassid was mentioned briefly in the section of the film devoted to child prodigies--a short clip of Achron's Hebrew Melody (which is on this cd) played in the background as a black and white photograph of ...             La Divina 213 reviews Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ... EMI Classics, 1994 Essential! All three La Divina Albums are essential indeed! I bought them all and enjoy them! A very beautiful, dramatic voice!             Maria Callas, the Voice of the Century20 reviews Carlo Forti, Renato Ercolani, ... EMI Classics, 1998 A Legend in all.....La Callas. I would just like to refer to an article that was published by a German Newspaper in 1959, mentioned on the Callas Edition (CED:100342) '...her voice is of unparalleled beauty, having an inimitable, completely own timbre of sopranos and altos...a performance of superior musical quality..a phenomenon amongst contemporary singers' ' ...One of the most spectacular Verdi arias, of Elizabeth from ...             Gluck: Orphée et Eurydice (Berlioz version) / Larmore, Upshaw, Hagley, Runnicles10 reviews Christoph Willibald Gluck, Jennifer Larmore, ... Teldec, 1996 The greatest recording of Gluck's masterpiece I love this work since I heard this recording. I had Solti's with Horne and Lorengar in italian and Gardiner's with Von Otter and Hendricks but it didn't call my attention. When I heard Jennifer Larmore singing Orphee I fell in love instantly and since then this is one of my favourites works, in french, and one of my favourites recordings. Larmore's voice is... wow!!! full of vitality and you can ...             Bach: Piano Works & Transcriptions (2 CDs) Johann Sebastian Bach, Christoph Willibald Gluck, ... Polygram Records, 1994             Callas: La Divina [Limited Edition]27 reviews Rolando Panerai, Tito Gobbi, ... EMI Classics, 1995 Callas is Still Opera's Queen With the apparent genius embedded in Callas' singing, it is no wonder that decades after her death, her voice will still echo within the chambers of our living rooms. Her great sense of the bel canto style, combined with the empassioned soul she juxtaposed into her performances, along with her amazing control over the three hundred (acclaimed conductor Nicola Rescigno said this) voices she had, ...             Orfeo Ed Eurydice Derek Lee Ragin, Adrienne Csengery Hungaroton, 2008             Orphee et Eurydice Patricia Petibon, Monteverdi Choir EMI Classics, 2009 DVD Tracklist 1.

EMI Classics, 2005 YET ANOTHER CALLAS COLLECTION I find that I'm beginning to agree with Herbert Breslin, who wrote in his book "The King and I" (which deals with his years as Pavarotti's manager) that "EMI has managed to convince the public that Maria Callas is still alive". Undoubtedly, EMI has made a fortune on Callas -------- complete operas, live recordings of operas, recitals, previously unpublished arias, and the like ------- and is ...             Great Tenor Arias [Hybrid SACD]1 review Domenico Cimarosa, Gaetano Donizetti, ... Decca, 2004 Even better on Hybrid SACD - Florez in another dazzling disc!, Juan Diego Florez is definitely on a spin and that well-deserved journey is the product of fine training, excellent coaching, and a keen sense of pacing in a career that tends to push the gifted ones too quickly. Though Florez' crowning gifts are in the bel canto repertoire, with this recording he just starts there and pushes into the range of more lyrical arias, and to these ears he succeeds in ...              search for classical music australia, berlioz, century, classical, collection, complete, dramatic, edition, euridice, eurydice, ginette, gormley, guidarini, hagley, hassid, heartbreakers, larmore, legend, limited, mezzo-soprano, momento, passion, platinum, recordings, runnicles, soprano, transcriptions, ultimate, version, zajick classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
