Rossini: Heroines

Search: Pena
from: Decca

Release Date October 05, 2000
I've been lucky enough to have met Cecilia at a signing years ago and she signed a copy of this disc for me which I have since framed.

I am a big fan of everything Bartoli does - she is certainly one of the best mezzo's in the past decade. She has great control of voice and though may not be the most beautiful it has grace and warmth.

Cecila has done many fine discs and this ranks right up there with the best of what she's done.

A must for Rossini and Bartoli fans alike. For everyone else you're missing out if you don't try it.

Haydn: Operas, Vol.2

Search: Pena
by: Antal Doráti Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne

Release Date August 11, 2003
This two-volume set is a delight. I am a big fan of Haydn's music, but until fairly recently I didn't even know that he had written any operas. I came across this set comprising eight operas over the two volumes and took a chance on the basis that I couldn't go too far wrong buying twenty discs of Haydn's music by first-rate musicians for less than forty quid. I was right.

If you know Dorati's Haydn symphony cycle you will know that he's a brilliant Haydn conductor. In the operas as in the symphonies he gets exactly the right balance of structure, melody and emotion and that knowing Haydn twinkle emerges in all the right places. The orchestra is excellent and the singers include Jessye Norman, Arleen Auger, Elly Ameling, Benjamin ... Read More:
