RecommendedAngela Gheorghiu (Magda/Anna), Roberto Alagna (Ruggero/Roberto), William Matteuzzi (Prunier), Inva Mula (Lisette), Alberto Renaldi (Rambaldo)
London Symphony Orchestra, Antonio Pappano
An almost ideal account of Puccini's least-performed mature work, with both Alagna and Gheorghiu at their peak. Valuable extras from Alagna in Le Villi, too. — More…

RecommendedAngela Gheorghiu, Roberto Alagna, Inva Mulla Tchako, William Matteuzzi

Verdi & Donizetti: Opera Arias
Michael Fabiano (tenor)
London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Voices, Enrique Mazzola
Fabiano is at his best in those great Verdian oaths of vengeance such as ‘Sprezzo la vita’ from Ernani. For complicated reasons it is usually cut in performance, but Fabiano shows us just what... — More…

French Opera Arias
RecommendedRoberto Alagna (tenor)
Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, London Voices, Bertrand de Billy
This is an interestingly put together recital which manages to illuminate much of the tenor repertoire in 19th century French opera (and early) whilst mixing the known and the unknown. Of course,... — More…
