Strauss, Richard
From Amazon.com: Criticizing Richard Strauss for composing melodically enduring operas is as pointless as lambasting Vermeer for painting only exquisite interior scenes. Those who say Strauss never improved on Rosenkavalier may be right, but when such [... more]

Mikado/Pirates Of Penzance/H.M
From Amazon.co.uk: Is there nothing Sir Charles Mackerras cannot do? In his Decca recordings of the Janacek operas (for example) he seems to get inside the music, its quirks and quiddities, and its nationalisms, and the results are models of thrilling [... more]

Cosi Fan Tutte Comp (Ital)

Verdi in da English?: This opera is extremely well-done, but if you're a purist, it's hard to appreciate the arias in English -- not exactly shower music! They've got such a wonderful idea here, and it's well-executed, why, oh why, didn't they perform it [... more]
