Subtitles: English , French, German, Italian “In an ideal world, operatic recordings would always evolve in this way...We've a real sense here of Gershwin's community, a feeling of oneness with the piece from singers who've not only lived with, but through, their characters. I doubt we'll ever hear the score in a better light. And what a score it is.” Gramophone Magazine, June 1989 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

and zarzuela excerpts: Marian Beigbeder & Manuel Alejandro: Cancion para una reina Marian Beigbeder & Manuel Alejandro: El grito d’America (Plácido Domingo) Marian Beigbeder & Manuel Alejandro - El grito d’America Manuel Penella: El gato montes Pablo Sorozábal - La Tabernera Del Puerto: ¡No puede ser!
An evening of opera, zarzuela, and a wealth of other musical treats from the great Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo - joined by a host of special guests. Filmed in Seville before an excited audience, this concert brings together selections from great composers like Bizet, Puccini, and Gershwin; romantic zarzuelas like El Gato Montes and La Taberana del Puerta; classics of Spanish guitar like ‘Asturias’; and Latin pop hits like ‘El Grito de America.’ Joining Plácido for this musically varied event are the sultry American singer Julia Migenes - with whom the tenor appeared in the critically acclaimed film version of Carmen - as well as soprano Guadalupe Sanchez and the dazzling guitarist Ernesto Bitetti. Plácido performs big arias, charming operetta numbers, and duets; he encores with Manuel Alejandro’s ‘El Grito de America,’ a contemporary work for ensemble and voices. A fascinating and satisfying concert from one of the great vocal artists of the age. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
