The Very Best of Franco Corelli
When Franco Corelli was voted Favorite Tenor of the (20th) Century by members of the Bel Canto Society, he remarked that he was lucky the world had begun to forget Gigli. This digitally remastered EMI might persuade us that Corelli was being too modest. Listen as he spins out a sheer pianissimo in 'E lucevan le stele.' Listen to the huge, brilliant ring of 'Di quella pira' and 'Nessun dorma'--old tenor chestnuts I know, but Corelli ... Regular Price : $16.98

Sometimes I Dream
Forget the age of battling boy bands, the era of dueling young tenors is upon us. Hot on the heels of Josh Groban's dizzyingly successful, Ally McBeal-fueled debut comes this first international release from African-born, Greek-raised tenor Mario Frangoulis. There are some clear parallels between Groban's debut and this Frangoulis release, but some distinctive differences as well. While Groban coated his slick, David Foster-molded pop sense with a veneer of classical respectability, Frangoulis has effectively turned the formula ... Regular Price : $12.98

Joy to the World - Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra
At one point, the Philadelphia Orchestra switched recording labels from Columbia to RCA. Since the Columbia Christmas recording was so popular, RCA decided to have the orchestra record a new LP that is now a compact disk. The style of this recording is very different from the Columbia recording. The arrangements are new and the chorus plays a central role. The album contains popular pieces such as Sleigh Ride and classical pieces such ... Regular Price : $11.98

Symphonie Fantastique
Muti's perfectionism is everywhere clear in his stirring, crisp leadership of this many-layered, flavorful work. Some have argued that it's a bit over-the-top; we call that exciting. This is not to say that in the more elegant moments, we don't get some beautifully sculpted, feathery sounds. And clearly, each section of the orchestra was ideally rehearsed: the strings are lush, the winds reedy and spicy, and the brass wonderfully aggressive. Wow! --Robert ... Regular Price : $

Romance of the Violin
Every track on this CD contains a beautiful melody, many of them easily recognizable, all of them exuding tranquility. 'O mio babbino caro' from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi opens the disc, with Bell delicately accompanied by a harp and spinning the long melody with great sensitivity. Bellini's 'Casta diva' from Norma lives up to its reputation as the epitome of bel canto in Bell's hands; his violin sings. The middle movement of Mozart's ... Regular Price : $18.98
