Aukso Orchestra Poland & Camerata Silesia Chorus A film of Samson and Delilah as performed at the annual Opera Spanga Festival in 2007 which
began in the Frisian village of Spanga in Holland in 1989. The festival is known for its modern, often sexual interpretations of various operas, and given the
highly passionate and sexual nature of Saint-Saens’ Samson and Delilah, this production is no
exception. Sung in French with subtitles in English, German, Spanish, Polish, Dutch and French. |

Placido Domingo, Waltraud Meier, Alain Fondary & Samuel Ramey Chorus and Orchestra of the Opéra Bastille de Pari, Myung-Whun Chung “Chung's forceful conducting sweeps away the cobwebbed fustian clinging to this piece, as do Domingo's ringing hero and Meier's temptress, although Fondary's toweringly malevolent High Priest and a fine cast are more fluently Gallic.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ***** |

Agnes Baltsa, José Carreras, Jonathan Summers, Simon Estes, Paata Burchuladze, Donald George Smith & Urban Malmberg Chor & Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Sir Colin Davis Recorded Munich, February 198 "When the role of Samson is not one naturally suited to Carreras, it is amazing how strong and effective his performance is, even if top notes under stress grow uneven. Particularly after his near-fatal illness, the very strain seems to add to the intensity of communication, above all in the great aria of the last act ... the inspired conducting of Sir Colin Davis ... refined, atmospheric recording ... the new recording gains from splendid choral singing, vital in this work."The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
