Opera

A superlative cast in a crisply modern, but relatively faithful production of a rarely performed opera [MP]

Another impressive release by the Donizetti Opera festival, uncut and on original instruments [RWe]

One new Verdi discovery combined with some previously released material, all neatly performed [MP]

Very interesting content, marred by some sound issues and a jumpy narrative flow [DJB]

Captivating performance of Rimsky-Korsakov’s enchanting Christmas opera [CRo]

The original version of Zoroastre, substantially different from the usually performed revision, superbly presented here [RWe]

A delight from start to finish [MC]

An all-round excellent effort to document a forgotten opera that likely won’t be returning to the stage anytime soon [MP]

A glorious sampler heralding a complete project which promises the best sound yet for this greatest of Wagner recordings [RMo]
