forever DOMINGO offers a tantalising and generous selection of Plácido Domingo’s greatest hits. It combines acclaimed recordings of popular tracks such as Be My Love and Granada with the greatest tenor opera arias from Puccini, Verdi, Donizetti, Bizet and Rossini. Includes Nessun Dorma, La donna è mobile, Largo al factotum and Una furtiva lagrima. The album is rounded off by one of the best-known pieces in the Viennese operetta repertoire Dein ist mein ganzes Herz. PLÁCIDO DOMINGO - Whatever he does, he does it from his heart. The son of singers who ran their own zarzuela company, Domingo grew up surrounded by music and the theatre. Today it is safe to say that in every corner of the world, everyone who has even the most passing interest in opera is familiar with the name of Plácido Domingo. He truly is a living legend. “Domingo shows his lighter side in souped-up arrangements of popular songs and a clutch of standard arias” BBC Music Magazine, May 2013 **** | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Michael Spyres: A Fool For LoveTenor Arias
“Michael Spyres has a lovely, liquid tenor, all honey for love duets and some metal for cries of outraged honor.” John Yohalem, from Opera Today You may well be hard-pressed to name a classic opera that lacks a love-story – or a tenor as the main romantic hero. Accordingly, emerging American tenor Michael Spyres has come up with a fresh and fascinating pretext for A Fool for Love: his new collection of tenor arias on Delos. Michael has carefully selected thirteen mostly well-known arias by composers ranging from Mozart to Stravinsky, encompassing a staggering array of love-related circumstances and emotions. He then sequenced them so as to tell the love-story of a single romantic protagonist. The album’s booklet contains a two-act “plot synopsis,” in which each segment of our hero’s story is indexed to the corresponding aria. As Michael puts it in his booklet introduction, “What I seek to present to you in this album is a fanciful musical story of a typical war-torn couple, and their struggle to cope with the raptures and ravages of this intangible enigma called love.” Michael, a Missouri native, completed his studies at the Vienna Conservatory, and is already well-known to European audiences for his critically-acclaimed work in recital, oratorio, and opera. He has appeared at such distinguished houses as Milan’s La Scala and Deutsche Oper Berlin, and worked with conductors like Ricardo Muti and John Eliot Gardner. Blessed with a supremely versatile instrument, Michael has successfully performed the music of composers from Bach to Wagner, encompassing music of many periods and styles: Baroque, Classical, Bel Canto, and Verismo. He has recorded Rossini’s La Gazzetta, Otello, and Le Siège de Corinthe for Naxos. “The voice itself is that of a lyric tenor with a bit of beef when needed. Neat touches enhance the singing in a number of places...[In Cessa di piu resistere] he dances through the roulades with sure steps, avoids aspirating tricky passages and maintains an attractive tone...the sound is clear, and there is much to be admired in Spyres's singing.” International Record Review, February 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
