4 out of 5 stars One Bizarre Recital - or Compilation!.......2006-10-03

The Christine Brewer is one of our more important heroic soprano voices of the time is an understatement. For those fortunate enough to have been in the presence of her performances as Isolde there can be no doubt that this is a voice of huge range, flexibility, intelligence and burnished warmth. She is most assuredly a star on the ascent.

The selection on this strange CD is puzzling: 'Great Operatic Arias' these are not. Though there are some of the big ones included ('Don Giovanni', 'Tannhäuser', 'Alceste', 'Oberon', and 'Euryanthe'), the program is fleshed out with operettas from Lehar, Kalman, and Rodgers and even some concert arias such as Beethoven's 'Ah, perfido'! Brewer is accompanied by other singers where indicated and by the London Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by David Parry. But oddly enough the works are all sung in English translations - and some of these translations are poor ones at that.

It does seem a waste of time to include 'You'll Never Walk Alone' from 'Carousel', but that particular song allows Brewer to demonstrate amply that the mezzo range is a strong comfort zone for her. Despite the odd choices of works here, what makes the album work is Brewer's extraordinarily beautiful voice. She sails over the orchestra, tossing off difficult passages with utter ease, and always reminding us that her instrument is never less than one of beautiful sound. If you can get past the English versions and the mixed bag of works she has chosen to sing, you are in for an hour of beautiful vocalizing! Just don't let this album be your introduction to this very fine artist. Grady Harp, October 06

    5 out of 5 stars Bravo!.......2003-03-10

    After experiencing Salminen's delightfully sinister Hagen in the Met DVD of Gotterdammerung, I ordered this album and was not disappointed. It is a gem, with Salminens's vocal power and expressiveness well displayed in every selection.

    5 out of 5 stars Magic power.......2000-06-25

    This is a schoolbook example of professional bass-singing. Matti Salminen compasses his way from Mozart and Rossini via Puccini and Verdi to Rickard Strauss. And he does so with bravura. His voice is extremely dark and powerful (that fact has been very well handled by the sound engineer - the balance of the recording is perfect).

    Salminen sings both Rossini, Wagner and Strauss as if they all were his favorite composer, showing no weakness in any kind of the very mixed repertoire of this recording. He is funny when called for, and in the most powerful (and tragic)parts he is extremely thrilling. Emotionality and caracterization are parts of Salminens great strength as a opera singer.

    If you're a fan of bass-singing, this is a must for you to have. Even if you're not, it is very fun to be able to hear some of the greatest bass-arias, which othervise oftenly are neglected on opera-collections.

    The orchestral playing of the Lahti forces is also very good.

            5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2005-02-03

            That once celebrated phrase "Numi Pieta" from Aida is sung here by Galina Vishnevskaya in the purest, loveliest, most sensitive, thoughtful, manner imaginable. I have never heard it better. Her vocalism is utterly exquisite in this unforgetable "Ritorna Vincitor" which is a dramatic aria centering in the middle register. She rivals Caniglia in my estimation as the finest in this aria but Vishnevskaya's Italian is very very Russian in cadence, inflection and coloration, which probably explains the limited exposure of this version for it is not acceptable.

            Some of the highlights are Jeritza's Vissi D'arte, Eva Turner's superior In Questa Reggia, no one comes close to La Turner (Nilsson included), Caniglia's Siberia, she was a great singer of Giordano, Olivero, Ponselle's totally unrivalled Vestale aria, Fuch's Hojotojo!, Lubin, Varnay, Nilsson, Sayao all heard at their best! Arangi-Lombardi is as usual unforgetable in the L. Borgia aria.

            The list goes on in this 3 CD collection! It's amazing for any person who wants a record of very great interpretations.
