3 Similar Reviews of Vesselina Kasarova: Famous Mezzo Arias
A Memorable Portrait of Vesselina Kasarova
Review of Vesselina Kasarova: Famous Mezzo Arias by EpinionSmorg

Advantages: Kasarova's personal touch. Virtuosic without showing off
Disadvantages: She doesn't keep singing forever

...This CD is a compilation of 10 operatic arias for the mezzo soprano voice. The line up ranges from the Baroque opening number to the Classical Mozart to the late Romantic Bel Canto Donizetti opera numbers. All are gloriously sung by the Bulgarian mezzo Vesselina Kasarova, and beautifully accompanied by maestro Friedrich Haider and the Munich Radio Orchestra/ Chorus of the Bavarian Radio. Vesselina Kasarova is known for her multi-coloured deep and melancholy voice (a very distinctly identifiable one at that!) and her interpretative intensity. Every note that she sings is a part of the story she is telling. Her florid coloratura (virtuoso decoration of the main melodic line) is legendary, and yet they are never gratuitous. This is a dream singer for anyone who likes drama and theatrically involved singing..... and she doesn't compromize... Read review

A Bonney wee lassy!
Review of (The) Radiant Voice of Barbara Bonney by bubblegum_princess

Advantages: Bonney's gorgeous voice; intelligent singing; great selection of songs
Disadvantages: No translations included

...sound equally as comfortable singing a quirky 20th Century song as they do singing early music, but Bonney has this tremendous versatility. Her singing also displays an intelligence often lacking in modern singers, giving her songs a huge emotional impact. ‘The Radiant Voice of Barbara Bonney’ reads like a ‘greatest hits’ album, filled with individual gems which reflect the success which she has had in her professional life. The track listing flows roughly chronologically (in terms of when the works were composed) which works well, giving the listener a sort of mini tour of the history of music. There is a rich variety of music on this album, putting early music alongside operatic arias and 20th Century songs, and the accompaniments also lend a fantastic variety, ranging to the lute accompanied Dowland song...

Hear hysterical heroines here!
Review of Renée Fleming - Bel Canto [SACD] by Maestrolover

Advantages: Virtuosic operatic vocalism, unusual repertoire, mad scenes...
Disadvantages: Fleming's voice is maybe not best suited for this...

...Bel Canto - she sure can belto If there is any area in classical music which polarises opinion more than singers and singing, then I have yet to come across it. I've been in opera performances where the conductor has had to halt the show after an aria, because of one portion of the audience booing the singer, whilst the other tried to drown out their boos with cheers... Or I remember another occasion in a very elite Viennese concert-hall where two very well dressed gentlemen came to blows after one made "an insulting remark" about the other's favourite soprano. People can get pretty vocal and worse about their favourite or least favourite vocalists. I think the other big problem is that a singer can be great in some repertoire but then take a nose-dive in other areas and this is one factor in this particular CD. The human voice... Read review
