Auber: Le Philtre (Naxos)
This light-hearted comedy is charming entertainment and the presentation is worthy [GF]
Dmitri Hvorostovsky (baritone): The Philips Recitals (Eloquence)
This is a glorious collection that should be a source for delight for many years to come [GF]
Handel: Eternal Heaven (Erato)
Music making of the highest order for anyone with an open mind for whom no borderlines exist [GF]
Verdi: Falstaff (Urania)
Though Sir Geraint Evans is rather gruff and dry-toned, this lavishly cast recording is worth anyone’s money [GF]
Bach: Cantatas for Bass (Harmonia Mundi)
Anyone wanting a HIP recording of these deservedly popular cantatas need search no further [GF]
Mozart: Cosi fan tutte (Pristine Audio)
A glorious documentation of the high standards of the ensemble at the Royal Stockholm Opera more than 80 years ago [GF]
Musikalische Perlen (Ars Production)
A delectable recital of music off the beaten track [GF]
Mascagni: Cavalleria rusticana (CSO Resound)
The orchestral playing and the choral contributions are impressive; the final scene is as spine-chilling as ever [GF]
Donizetti: Signor Gaetano (Pentatone)
A magnificent full-size portrait of a truly great bel canto artist [GF]
Torsten Mossberg (tenor) Harp Songs (Sterling)
A somewhat unusual combination of composers but it works splendidly and is another feather in Mossberg’s by now well-adorned cap [GF]
