Ying Huang

Chinese soprano Ying Huang studied at the Shangai Conservatory of Music winning the second prize at the Concours International de Chant de Paris and came to international attention when she sang the tittle role in Frederic Mitterand's film Madama Butterfly in 1994. Her success on the film led to Conlon to invite her to perform in several concerts with the Kölner Philharmonie and to her operatic debut as Nanetta in Verdi's Falstaff in Köln in 1996. It is a pleasure to listen to such beautiful voice. Enjoy it.

Nicolai Gedda - Birthday 100th anniversary

Imagen
100 years ago one of the greatest tenors was born in Stockholm, Nicolai Gedda. He is, with the permission of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, the most recorded opera singer, with celebrated recordings through the pass of time. Bach's Matthew's Passion under Klemperer, Verdi's Requiem under Giulini, Mozart's Requiem with Barenboim, Berlioz's Damnation under Pretre... as well as French, Italian, German, Russian songs on discs. Among his almost 100 opera recordings very few people know that he also recorded extracts, and here it is a very rare one, Puccini's Butterfly in German with Anneliese Rothenberger, Hermann Prey and Siegliende Wagner conducted by Giuseppe Patané. The recording sessions took place at the Grunewaldkirche in Berlin from the 30 of October to the 4 of September in 1966 for EMI/Electrola. Here you can hear Gedda as you never heard him before.

Verdi Otello with Giuseppe Giacomini, Margaret Price and Matteo Manuguerra

Imagen
This 1991 live recording of Verdi's Otello under Alain Lombard counts with the great Giuseppe Giacomini in the leading role singing at his best, Margaret Price, close to her retirement, as Desdemona, and Matteo Manuguerra creating a magnificent Iago. The problem of this production is the baton of maestro Lombard, unconnected with what is happening on stage and just focused on sounding forte, keeping no attention to the singers. Alain Lombard never has been a conductor that has been celebrated, correct me if I'm wrong, please.
