CD: Mozart: Don Giovanni (CD, Mar-1995, RCA) Mar-1995
Don Giovanni thrills!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
This "Don Giovanni" is so far superior to so many more famous (and more expensive) sets that it's hard to know where to start. Kubelik was a great Mozartean, who combined a modern orchestral sou... read full review
DVD: Lie with Me (DVD, 2006) 
Not so Hot!
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful
This is a dull-ish film about two not very interesting young people who fall into a love affair that seems to be mostly about sex. When the young man's father dies and things get more emotionally complex,... read full review
CD: Opera Proibita [Limited Edition] by Nils Wieboldt, Sébastian D'Hérin (CD, O... Nils Wieboldt, Oct-2005
Bartoli at her best
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
Sensational singing and unusual repertory. What more can you ask from a new classical release? The program has an interesting premise--at a time when opera was prohibited, composers and singers indulged their... read full review
Carmen Jones (Studio Cast Recording) (Highlights) by Original Cast (CD, Aug...
Bumbry Shines
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
Good recording of "Carmen Jones"--Grace Bumbry, a famous legit Carmen, is outstanding here (better than in her recording of the authentic opera with Fruhbeck de Burgos conducting), and she blows the o... read full review
CD: Company [Cincinnati Playhouse Cast] by Stephen Sondheim (CD, Feb-2007, None... Stephen Sondheim, Feb-2007
Devastating Company
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
The Broadway revival is devastating, and so is the musical performance preserved on this recording. Raul Esparza's superior vocal technique is always at the service of his emotionally wrenching performanc... read full review
CD: Strauss: Daphne by Carsten Wittmoser (CD, Sep-2005, 2 Discs, Decca (USA)) Carsten Wittmoser, Sep-2005
Daphne delights!
By the time you get to the finale of this well-recorded effort, with Renee Fleming's Daphne soaring in to the vocal stratosphere of this late Strauss score, you may find yourself thinking, "This is he... read full review
CD: Mozart: Die Entführung aus dem Serail by Wolfgang Hinze (CD, May-2003, 2 Di... Wolfgang Hinze, May-2003
Abduction sweeps you away!
This opera is often recorded, but rarely well. The piece requires five virtuoso singers, but also a spirit of fun if its goofy east-meets-west premise (reflected in Mozart's score, with its "Turkish... read full review
The Taxi That Hurried by Jessie Stanton, Lucy Mitchell and Lucy Sprague Mit...
Fun Old Book
This is a great book for kids who love cars and trucks and things that go. They enjoy the old-fashioned pictures. The text features fun rhythmic, rhyming, and onomotopoeic devices that encourage children to p... read full review
Book: The Woman in the Dunes by Kobo Abe (1991, Paperback, Reissue) 
The Paradox of Life
I had seen Teshigahara's great film and decided to read the book to clear up a few things that I found unclear. The book doesn't necessarily clear them up but does add some different dimensions to th... read full review
CD: South Pacific [Original Soundtrack] (CD, Apr-2006, Decca (USA)) Apr-2006
Great score, but . . .
What a score! Every song a beauty, with a memorable tune and clever, literate lyrics. And the score is very well served by the orchestra and conductor. The singers are another matter. Reba McEntire has a bi... read full review
