| | 1. |  | Einstein on the Beach
from Sony Bmg Europe
Price: $45.99
Customer Review:
In this opera Philip Glass pushes the two heritages he is using and referring to to an extreme that leads his music beyond classification, hence projects it into pure creativity. He uses the Ravel's Bolero genre or form so far and so amplified that we reach a totally hypnotic state. With very few... more info

from Sony/Bmg Int'l
Customer Review:
I first heard of Paul Potts on YouTube and like many others, thought it was a fairytale ending to a beautiful story. Paul conquered bullies, sadness, and shyness and won over our hearts with his amazing voice and talent. He brought Opera to those that didn't understand it or appreciate it. I bought... more info

| | 3. |  | Donizetti - Imelda de' Lambertazzi
from Opera Rara (UK)
Price: $58.98
Customer Review:
It would seem at least every month another operatic treasure that was long forgotten is being resurected. If it's not the missing gems from the Donizetti crown it's a long lost Thomas opera or Bellini or Offenbach opera (God willing they will keep coming). I love the music of Gaetano Donizetti so... more info

| | 4. |  | Don Giovanni
from Harmonia Mundi (France)
Price: $39.98
Customer Review:
This is a fantastic Don Giovanni. I won't go into all the details of each area except one. This recording has the best, most creative accompanying of recitativi secchi I have ever heard. It is not just simple playing of the chords and harmonies to support the recitatives but fully interactive and... more info

| | 6. |  | Lorraine Hunt - Handel Arias
from Harmonia Mundi
Price: $21.98
Customer Review:
With Lorraine Hunt you can't go wrong. Her appeal is universal: those who don't fancy opera will love it because of her virtuoso capability, originality and sincerity. Laurent Naouri expressed the core of her appeal: "When she sang her character, people would forget all that is conventional in... more info

by Puccini
Price: $27.98
Customer Review:
This recording beats all opposition.
Katia Ricciarelli was in the sweetest voice at the time and sounds exactly as the young nun should.
Fiorenza Cossotto is also in magnificent voice and all the other nuns have distinctive delightful voices; the stereo positioning allows them to come... more info
