Search : Handel: Agrippina / Gardiner [highlights]
I have been listening to film scores for years. For the majority of those years many of us have had to settle for the selections that made it to the album from the actual film score. Contented? Not Quite! Thanks to the emergence of the film score as a legitimate cousin to `Classical' symphonic and/or choral compositions we are now getting recordings of `complete scores.' I think this can be attributed to the compositional and orchestral genius of Bernard Herrmann through his simple yet effective mastery of the human emotion. Turning that picture 180 degrees, I now find myself reciprocating and exploring music and compositions before the birth of the cinema. This CD: "Handel: Agrippina - Highlights" is a bit of a disappointment. I am no longer settling for just a section of the pie. I'll admit ... Read More

I first heard Patrice Michaels sing the soprano solos in a (typically) mass production of Handel's Messiah at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. I became a lifelong fan right then. As a vocal student training to sing opera, I consider myself knowledgeable in classical music. Michaels is not Callas. She would never pretend to be. There are many types of sopranos. Michaels' voice is lighter yet just as vibrant. This collection really highlights Vivaldi as a writer of vocal music, as opposed to the more famous and common Spring, Summer, etc. I'm not sure I've been turned on to the vocal musings of this composer, but I forgot my misgivings with the first note that sounds from Patrice Michael's body. If this review seems too glowing, be assured that there are some voices I have no patience with(the oh-so ... Read More

When he released 'Con te Partiro' in the U.S. in 1997, Andrea Bocelli became a household name for the soaring emotional piece that has become his best-known song. However, on 2001 album "Cieli di Toscana", the crossover artist treats listeners to 14 songs recorded with the voice that has captured the world.

Unlike many of his previous hit records, "Cieli di Toscana" is a pop album, but unlike Madonna or Britney Spears, it is filled with the soul and delicate emotion you would find in more classical music. The album opens with the rich-sounding 'Melodramma' then chills to a more relaxed feel with 'Mille Lune Mille Onde'. From this point on, the record switches from lavish orchestration to tunes that, if they weren't in Italian, could have been hits on U.S. radio.

As with his previous ... Read More
