After her sumptuous album of Strauss songs with orchestra, soprano Diana Damrau marks the bicentenary of Liszt’s birth with an album of his most celebrated songs in German, French and Italian, accompanied by pianist Helmut Deutsch. “Diana Damrau has a fine line in floated high notes, and the lyrical songs (the majority of those recorded here) benefit from her sweet tone...Helmut Deutsch's accompaniments are of the highest quality, setting the mood from the very beginning of each song and managing Liszt's virtuoso figuration with apparent ease.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2012 **** “A gifted Lieder singer with a flawlessly even and shining sound, Damrau knows exactly how to draw the listener into the drama of each song...Deutsch proves yet again what a great accompanist he is too: his insights into the atmosphere and psychology of these works are as compelling as Damrau's.” Classic FM Magazine, February 2012 ***** “The particular qualities of Damrau's lustrous coloratura lend an aura of ethereal beauty to several of her interpretations...Damrau brings a languid voluptuousness to the more famous love songs...There are times when one wishes Damrau would abandon her consistently gorgeous sound production to focus instead on a more vivid characterization of the text. In terms of pure singing, these interpretations are undeniably beautiful.” International Record Review, February 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | The Kiri Te Kanawa Songbook
One of Kiri Te Kanawa's rare recorded excursions into song repertoire, this consummate recital is once more restored to the Decca catalogue. Including such popular favourites like the Rachmaninov and Granados, it includes Obradors' wonderful Cinco canciones clasicas espanolas and a quartet of beautiful songs by Liszt. “A rich ripe peach of a recital, and in case that suggests something altogether too sweet and lush to satisfy a fastidious taste it should immediately be added that the soprano's tone is fresh, her responsiveness to words keen, the pianist's touch very evidently guided by a refined, lively intelligence, and the programme a delight in the variety as well as the generous melodic appeal of its contents” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

This is one of a series of five archive recordings of the legendary tenor being released by the American label Opera d’Oro over the next couple of months. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Renata Scotto - The 1984 Tokyo RecitalKan i Hoken Hall, Gotanda, Tokyo, September 1984
Renata Scotto, one of the greatest and most famous sopranos of the post-war period, is here recorded in her full artistic maturity and, through this vast and varied programme, demonstrates her solid technique and absolutely extraordinary musicality. The performance of this recital ended an eleven-year absence of Scotto from the Japanese stage – a return she clearly relishes as she dedicates the rare musical gems in her performance to the Tokyo audience. Together with famous arias from renowned operas she performs some rare and neglected works, notably Edgar (Puccini’s first opera) and Sole e Amore (written before the success of La Bohème) as well as Respighi’s songs and five unpublished songs by Verdi. The DVD also features a two-minute forward by Renata Scotto (sub – E/G/F/Sp) and a thirteen-minute video featuring the madness scene, Lucia di Lammermoor, Tokyo, 1967 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
