Gaetano Donizetti - La Fille du regiment / Dessay, Florez, Palmer, Corbelli, French, Campanella, Pelly (Royal Opera House 2007)

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
starring: Natalie Dessay, Juan Diego Florez, Felicity Palmer, Alessandro Corbelli, Dawn French
directed by: Laurent Pelly

Release Date April 15, 2008
This "Fille du Regiment" dvd is a video of the Laurent Pelly production, first debuted at Covent Garden. It was also used at the Metropolitan in a recent series of sold-out performances. This dvd is a welcome release for those who saw or heard the sensational performances, as it has much the same cast.

I was one of the lucky people who saw Florez sing Tonio at the Met this spring. It was an unforgettable experience. After a perfectly sung "Ah mes amis," the audience roared for so long that Florez encored the piece, thus singing 18 high C's in one evening. After the second "Ah mes amis," the entire audience gave him a standing ovation. Although in this dvd there is no encore, there are still 9 high C's, sung with such ease and beauty ... Read More:

I love atonal music and usually love Schoenberg's compositions but not this Violin Concerto-It was'nt interesting or enjoyable. If you want to hear a good atonal violin concerto listen to Alban Berg's.

Philip Glass - Songs & Poems for Solo Cello - Wendy Sutter

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
from: Orange Mountain Music

Release Date February 12, 2008
This album consists mostly of so-called 'poems' for cello solo. It is an interesting experience, although less lush in texture than the usual symphonic works by Glass, and less moving than solo efforts such as the solo saxophone album. The album ends with several tracks (some of which not released on CD hitherto) from Powaqqatsi. All in all, this is a valuable item in a Philip Glass's afficionado's collection, but will probably be of little use to other people.

Music of the Spheres

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Mike Oldfield

Release Date March 25, 2008
I am one of Mike Oldfield's big fans. Every new released album is automatically in my shopping cart.
This is a masterpiece, very inspiring and vivid. I listened to this new album for the first time while driving to work. It was a pleasant driving experience and didn't care for the heavy traffic, I was just delighted by the music of the spheres.
The downside: Not a true innovation. You can once again easily recognize elements from the tubular bells (I, II, III), Guitars and other albums. If you no longer enjoy remixes and Tb sounds, you might not like this album. Otherwise, it is very good.

Voce D'Italia: Arias For Rubini

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
from: Decca

Release Date January 22, 2008
The Tenor from Peru is one of the best tenors in the world at this time;I feel that the selection of arias, could have been a lot better.I do recommend that when you see the name Juan Diego Flores, you pay a lot of attention.
