Sarah Connolly, Superb Baroque Mezzo-Soprano
Review of Heroes and Heroines by zerbine28

Advantages: Rich, creamy vocal; enveloping warmth; text, character alive; facile Baroque ornamentation; impeccable diction; fine Symphony.
Disadvantages: Only over an hour of music here; wanted more!

...If you’ll kindly pardon the gushing tone of this review, the blame for which you can lay wholly on the phenomenal British mezzo-soprano, Sarah Connolly (whom I hereby unofficially dub the operatic Anjelica Huston). Her riveting portrayal of the title character in Glyndebourne’s 2005 staging by David McVicar of Georg Frideric Händel’s ‘Giulio Cesare’ first made this writer into a very interested listener [reviewed here: http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/GiulioCesareHandelThreeDiscsReview5644748]. With this disc, she’s become a full-fledged Connolly fan. This 2004 CD comprises airs (arias) and orchestral sinfonias from four works by Händel, and any Händel/Baroque music or opera/vocal music lover will not regret its acquisition. This disc also heralds Ms Connolly’s superb turn as the aforementioned Giulio Cesare the very next year... Read review

The Golden Age of Mezzo Soprani Continues
Review of Susan Graham by EpinionSmorg

Advantages: Susan Graham sings nearly everything
Disadvantages: She doesn't live next door to me...

...'d be hard pressed to find a better rendition of it. HANDEL: Alcina 3. Di te mi rido 4. Mi lusinga il dolce affetto 5. Mio bel tesoro 6. Verdi pratti These arias are sung by the knight Ruggiero who spends the entire opera slowly working his way out of a love spell casted by the Sorceress Alcina. Ms Graham isn't as adept at fast florid singing in pieces like 'Di te mi rido' (#3) as the likes of Bartoli or Kasarova or the late Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson, but she is as good as anyone in infusing her voice with tremendous range of emotions while maintaining simple melodic line in the slower and more lyrical pieces like 'Verdi pratti (#6). This also carries over to the slow and lyrical 'Mi lusinga il dolce affetto' (#4). My only quibble is that the graceful florid passages in this piece aren't done in the manner than enhances the interpretation... Read review

Review of Caruso: The Greatest Tenor in the World! by grafter123

Advantages: Classic recordings from a master of his trade.
Disadvantages: Mono recordings, Crackly in parts.

...imagine it could be bought much more cheaper if you shop around. It has 2 CD's with around 41 tracks and gives more than 21/2 hours listening pleasure. It is recorded in Mono which I know is a totally alien concept for today's music lovers. The sepia photograph of Caruso on the front cover has him looking like a gangster from the Untouchables time period and the list of Italian composers could certainly be a Mafia list. Here is the general information relating to this two CD set: Release Date 15th June 1999 Label: RCA Victor There are various composers featured such as : Bizet, Donizetti, Franchetti, Giordano, Goldmark, Gounod, Handel, Massenet, Meyerbeer, Ponchieli, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Leoncavallo, Rossini The performers are: Enrico Caruso, Josephine Jacoby, Pasquale Amato, Luisa Tetrazzini, Angelo Bada, Marcel Journet, Savlvatore...
