Opera
Reviews of full operas as well as collections and recitals of arias
Fuoco Sacro (Naxos)
Very interesting content, marred by some sound issues and a jumpy narrative flow [DJB]
Rimsky-Korsakov: Christmas Eve (Naxos)
Captivating performance of Rimsky-Korsakov’s enchanting Christmas opera [CRo]
Rameau: Zoroastre (Alpha)
The original version of Zoroastre, substantially different from the usually performed revision, superbly presented here [RWe]
Lisette Oropesa (soprano) Arias (Pentatone)
A delight from start to finish [MC]
Leoncavallo: Zingari (Opera Rara)
An all-round excellent effort to document a forgotten opera that likely won’t be returning to the stage anytime soon [MP]
Wagner: The Golden Ring (Decca)
A glorious sampler heralding a complete project which promises the best sound yet for this greatest of Wagner recordings [RMo]
