The word "fabulous" seems vulgar when applied to the Spanish diva whose delicately shaded voice encompassed music from the middle ages to the present. This four-disc compilation emphasizes her song repertoire, to which she brought warmth, intelligence, linguistic integrity and irresistible sincerity. Her dignity makes listeners want to come to her, and she rewards them with an intimate, personal experience, especially in this small-scale repertoire by Ravel, Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, lots of Spanish composers and German masters such as Schubert and Brahms. --David Patrick Stearns

Awesome musicality.......2006-07-26

This 4-CD set is a tribute to the concert career of the great Victoria de Los Angeles. The first 3 CDs show her totally at home in the art song of France and of her native Spain. In the French art songs, her silvery, creamy tone, her legendary legato and her perfect French diction make for wonderful and unforgettable performances. These include a sensual Scheherazade, magnificient singing in the Duparc songs and a phenomenal Poeme de L'amour et de la mer of Chausson (try to keep your eyes dry by the end of La mort de l'amour). In the Chausson, while de Los Angeles does not opt for the intensely Wagnerian approach, her sensitive singing more than does justice to the poetry and the feelings of the character. The Spanish songs showcase de Los Angeles at her most natural, flamboyant and attractive singing. The tunes are catchy, full of bouncy rhythms and De Los Angeles's fabulous voice never ceases to amaze. The 4th CD shows the wonderful chemistry between de Los angeles and the great Gerald Moore. While she does not erase memories of Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf in the Schubert selections, the Brahms songs are excellent and her Faure songs here are earth shaking in their elegance and refinement. The Italian and the famous Handel aria helps to prove De Los Angeles's reputation as an excellent bel canto singer. Her duets with Fischer-Dieskau are absolutely memorable and gorgeous.
The set comes with booklet including full words plus translations, helpful notes on De Los Angeles's concert career and a dozen of beautiful and rare black and white photos. Victoria de Los Angeles's concert career was as prolific as her legendary operatic performances and continued well after her retirement from the operatic stage. This introspective and almost encycopledic release is a real treat and is absolutely recommended. I totally agree with the editor's review who states that the word "fabulous" fails in every respect to fully capture the artistry of the Spanish soprano. Victoria de Los Angeles is definitely one of the most wonderful lyric sopranos of the 20th century and is one of the most heavenly artists to have ever graced the concert scene. A must-have for any collection.

Fabulous? Yes!!!.......1999-09-13

The album is a marvelous sampling of this great singer's artistry. Her performances of the French and Spanish composers are something special. The De Falla "Seven Popular Folksongs" are powerful, passionate; the last song, "Jota," raised the hair on the back of my neck.

I was delighted to see Faure's "Claire de lune" on the album, and equally delighted with De Los Angeles' elegant rendition of this work. The only recording of the song I've liked better is from an LP featuring Frederika Von Stade.

Compilation release.......2005-11-24

This release is a remastering of the two previous releases: Sweet Power of Song and On Wings of Song. Both original CDs are still available if you hunt for them. The original releases do have the texts included in the booklets (lamented by a previous reviewer of this compilation release). The lack of text is not a problem for me. I just listen to these incredible singers. I don't need to read what they are singing.

If you even slightly enjoy listening to the soprano voice, you will love these two luscious singers. Soprano duets are among my favorite classical music selections. Lott's clear, strong voice rings with authority and joy. Murray provides perfect harmony and occasional counterpoint.

I prefer the first disk (Sweet Power of Song) because it is more balanced and seems to represent the sopranos' favorite selections. However, disk 2 (On Wings of Song) has Rossini's delightful Cat Duet which is worth the price of both CDs as performed by this amazing duo.

Whether you buy this compilation set or the individual releases, I promise that you will love them and keep them near your player all the time.

Text Translations Please!.......2002-01-11

Musically, I give this double CD set 5 stars. I love the warm soprano of Felicity Lott and the beautiful mezzo of Ann Murray. They always are a pleasure to listen to, each on their own, and together, they make music that is, more than simply beautiful and technically impeccable, but truly a joy to listen to. It adds so much to musical enjoyment to understand what the lyrics are, however, so rather than buying this double CD set, for which the text translations have been stingily omitted by the label, I would recommend buying each of them separately. I bought this CD set not realizing that one of the two CDS is one that I had bought previously, and been enjoying for many years. It is entitled "On Wings of Song" and the texts and the translations are all included. I highly recommend buying it. I don't know under what title the other CD might have been released. If you are so fluent in foreign languages that the lack of translation does not bother you, then I would highly recommend this CD.

Interesting cross-section of English theatre.......2005-06-14

This is an album of vocal and instrumental music by Henry Purcell, his friends John Blow and John Eccles, and his younger brother Daniel Purcell. The instrumentals are two complete theatre music suites by Purcell, "Amphitryon" and "The Virtuous Wife". The vocal works of Purcell are taken from his operatic, ode and theatre works, while the others are mainly taken from theatre works.
Soprano Nancy Argenta and countertenor Daniel Taylor take turns in the solo works and combine for two duets. The ensemble includes such notaries as Adrian Butterfield on violin and Nigel North on lute.
Theatre was all the rage in England in the latter half of the 17th century and Purcell's contributions reigned supreme. In the theatre suites recorded here, dances of both the Continent and the British Isles feature, tuneful and graceful to the utmost. "Since From My Dear Astrea's Sight" from "The Prophetess" and "One Charming Night" from "The Fairy Queen" sung by Daniel Taylor are fine examples of poignant gentle writing which made Purcell so popular. He was also a master of music for special occasions, royal ones particularly, as evidenced here by the excerpts from "Come Ye Sons of Art" and "Welcome to all the Pleasures".
John Blow is mainly remembered for his sacred music, but the two works recorded here are derived from his sets of songs and the small amount of incidental music he composed. John Eccles was up there with Purcell as a master of theatre music and had a great interest in the Italian style. Nancy Argenta sings from his "The Mad Lover" and "The Comical History of Don Quixote" (which he worked on with Purcell), as well as an excerpt from his "Ode to St. Cecelia". Organist Daniel Purcell, who completed his brother's "Indian Queen", is featured with a delightful duet from "Pausanias, the Betrayer of his Country".
The performances here are exemplary all round - precise, expressive and authentic. There is great strength and confidence in the singing and the accompaniment is always well-judged. The recording quality is clear and atmospheric. A gentle album to wash your cares away.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-22

The great flowering of English music during the Renaissance faded in the early 17th century, and, apart from Henry Purcell ((1659-1695), there were no native composers of international stature for almost three hundred years. During the first part of Purcell's career, he composed mainly for the church, but his last ten years were largely devoted to theater music. However, only 'Dido and Aeneas' can be counted an opera, although he wrote five 'semioperas'. These embody many features of the court masque, and the problems of staging for modern audiences mean that England's finest dramatic composer is known,'Dido' apart, largely by his songs, anthems and instrumental music.

'Semi opera' was the term first coined by the English music theorist Roger North to describe the hybrid form, "half-music and half-drama" that flourished in England in the late 17th century. The first of these :'The Prophetess or the History of the Dioclesian' was first performed at London's Dorset Garden Theater in 1690. It tells the story of the rise of the Roman legionary Diocles to become Emperor. It is based on an earlier play by John Fletcher and Phillip Messinger. The adaptaton of the original play inself into a 'semi-opera' consisted of inserting songs and instrumental pieces into the drama at appropriate points.

It is not so unusual to include the music of Handel (1685-1759) on a recording with Purcell, for the English, for the most part, have always considered him, at the least a successor to Purcell, and at the most, actually an Englishman. However, before he ever tread on English soil, Handel had already become a composer of note, and was acquainted with many diverse musical styles. While in Rome around 1707, he composed several cantatas for his patron, the Marchese Francesco Maria Ruspoli. 'Il duello amaroso', dating from August 1708, was probably one of these works. It depicts the 'battle' between the nymph Amarilli and the shepherd Daliso, who attempts in vain to win back the heart of his unfaithful beloved. The cantata, with its sequence of introductory sonata, recitatives, brief 'da capo' arias and duet finale, shows impressively how Handel managed to make the Italian vocal style entirely his own,

This recording made in 1993, is just wonderfully performed! The cantata sung by Michael Chance and Nancy Argenta was extraordinary; each of them showed their usual excellent singing skills; that is beautiful sonorous tone quality, correct emotional investment in their respective roles, flawless diction and it left the listener wishing that the composition was longer!!!! The Dioclesian, mostly instrumental, was performed very well with a nice 'Purcellian lilt' when required, and the tempi just so correct; but one would expect that from Gottfried Von Der Goltz. I am so glad that this disc became available thru the Amazon marketplace, for I would have hated to have missed it.
