Count Basie & His Orchestra: April in Paris | Paul Hannah - June 5, 2020

Boy ! Save yourself money and forget this one ! I have loved this recording since I first bought it years ago on Verve So I was looking forward to what re-mastering and SACD ...

Sibelius: 7 Symphonies - Berglund | Athenaeus - August 4, 2020

I had a look on Discogs and it seems the Ballade was never recorded by Berglund in Bournemouth. It therefore seems it isn't an omission if only the first and third movement of ...

Respighi: Roman Trilogy - Wilson | john hunter - July 28, 2020

Dire Straits: Making Movies | Downunderman - June 25, 2020

Quite different from the 2012/2014 JSACD, in just about every way. The MoFi gives you the warts and all version - a good thing as it turns out, whilst in comparison the JSACD ...

Sibelius: 7 Symphonies - Berglund | Dave Billinge - July 31, 2020

I've only just signed up but have been using the site for years. The series of comments about this Sibelius set is of particular interest since I noticed hiredfox is obviously ...

Bach: Goldberg Variations - RCO Camerata | Adrian Quanjer - July 29, 2020

Ther is now a second release of this relatively new label which is just as good as the first: Bach, Cellosuiten BWV 1007-1012, Quirine Viersen, available at JPC. Bert van der ...

Thelonious Monk: Monk's Dream | Mark Werlin - July 23, 2020

After listening more closely to the MoFi SACD and writing the review, I removed my recommendation from the ORG SACD. I agree with all the commenters that the MoFi SACD has ...

HEART-WRENCHING VERISMO ARIAS

Global star tenor Piotr Beczala presents Vincerò !, the first fruit of his exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE. I will win! is a collection of heart-wrenching opera arias by Puccini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Giordano and Cilea. For Beczala, this recording documents his vocal transition from the lyrical tenor repertoire to the more dramatic roles of Verismo, and thus simultaneously marks a significant new chapter in his stage career. Beczala is accompanied by the Cor de la Generalitat Valenciana and the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, led by maestro Marco Boemi; an extraordinary singer's conductor who worked with the greatest vocalists of our age.
