Franco Corelli: His Early Cetra Records
I often wonder who decides what records will be used to produce historical vocal issues.
Cesare Siepi: The Salzburg Recital of 1956; Arias from Norma, Faust, Don Carlo
For those who didn’t long ago purchased or exchanged this Salzburg recital via the pirate
connections, this is a fine opportunity to get maybe the best testimonial of this artist.
OFFENBACH: Orpheus in der Unterwelt (Orphée aux enfers)
Filmed for television in 1971, this performance of the German translation of Orphée aux enfers (1858) as Orpheus in der Unterwelt breaks the conventional wisdom that some espouse about the weaknesses of opera or opera when conceived for the small screen.
BACH: Cantatas, Vol. 26 (Whit Sunday and Whit Monday)
Among the virtues of hearing Bach cantatas performed in liturgical order—one of the hallmarks
of John Eliot Gardiner’s stunning Cantata Pilgrimage of 2000—is the chance to savor Bach’s range of approach to unified text themes.
