One of David Daniels’ great passions is to explore repertoire not necessarily associated with the countertenor voice. He also really likes to sing with guitar. The result is a delightful program of songs that David performs regularly in recital, ranging from gems by Dowland and Purcell to American classics like Beautiful Dreamer and the title song, John Kander’s A Quiet Thing. Leading Australian guitarist Craig Ogden has made the arrangements and accompanies David in a collection designed to be ‘very intimate, and full of beautiful words and melodies’. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | A Gala Concert with Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne
A 1961 concertante performance of Vincenzo Bellini's Beatrice di Tenda was of lasting importance in the careers of the two prima donnas. It was here that they met each other and performed together for the first time, and thereafter they formed a brilliant partnership who starred together in many performances and concerts of works from the bel canto repertoire. This recording of a gala concert at Sydney Opera House offers a varied programme presenting a representative cross-section from the extraordinarily broad repertoires of both these exceptional singers. Each of them performs as a soloist on a variety of songs and operatic arias, and naturally they also join voices for bravura performances of famous operatic duets. And finally the two singers show with Benedict's "The Gypsy and the Bird" and Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" that they are not above indulging a taste for lighter musical forms. Recording Date: 1986
Place of recording: From the Sydney Opera House
Running Time: 141 min
Picture Format: 4:3
Sound Format: PCM Stereo
