Special offer. Vincerò!
RecommendedPiotr Beczala (tenor), Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, Marco Boemi

Arias
RecommendedJonathan Tetelman (tenor), Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, Karel Mark Chichon

Boulevard des Italiens
RecommendedBenjamin Bernheim (tenor), Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Frédéric Chaslin

Lise Davidsen: Beethoven - Wagner - Verdi
RecommendedLise Davidsen (soprano), London Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Mark Elder
Her voice reminds me now of Birgit Nilsson’s at the same stage, an Elsa and Sieglinde who is a Brünnhilde in waiting, with the same thrilling edge to her top register, though she isn’t lacking... —
