HOMAGE: The Age of the Diva

Search: Poison
by: Renée Fleming Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre Valery Gergiev

Release Date December 07, 2006

The presentation is sumptuous, from the front cover showing Renee in typical early 1900's dress, to the album's triple gatefold cover presenting the CD and an extensive 80 page illustrated booklet with full lyrics (translated to English) and some precious photographs of the singers to whom this album is dedicated.

It's another Renee personal project, this time a tribute to the soprano divas famous around the 1870's to 1920's who are in need of someone to remind today's listeners and writers that great singers were around long before our current generation of opera superstars. The only reason we forget is because those divas of yesterday are preserved only as pictures and words in the history books, while today's artists ... Read More:

Brahms - Piano Duet Works, Vol. 1

Search: Poison
from: Naxos

Release Date April 03, 1997
Before the undoubted luxury of recorded music, people either made thier own or, if they were rich (or lucky) heard it in concert. In order to disseminate their work more widely, and to make some money, many composers transcribed their orchestral, choral, and chamber works for the piano. Many transcribed for soloists, but more did so for either four hands at one piano or piano duets.

Brahms had a fondness for doing this as the piano was his instument and many of his works were transcribed in this way. Naxos has produced a series of CDs of this music, of which this is volume 1.

Correctly described as "four hand piano music", this Naxos series is performed by the long-standing piano duo of Silke-Thora Matthies and Christian Kohn. ... Read More:

Massenet: Cléopâtre

Search: Poison
from: Schwann

Release Date January 07, 1992
This set has been long deleted and is difficult to find unless you are prepared to pay too much for a used copy; I was cursing myself for not having bought it when it first appeared in 1992 when I found one from David Schwartz at CDs Unlimited in London, my trusty small supplier of rarities.

It was certainly worth the wait. While the cast might not live up to that of its 1914 premier and subsequent Chicago revival (since when, owing to some rather vicious and prejudiced reviews by contemporary critics, it virtually disappeared until this Massenet festival performance in 1990), they are all, with the exception of Kathryn Harries, Francophones with beautiful voices. Harries sings in excellent French in her lustrous, smoky mezzo, and does all ... Read More:
