Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Angela Gheorghiu Live, here, means what it says: it seems like half the disc is given over to applause and you get to hear her performance as it comes, including tranches of distinctly questionable intonation that studio retakes would have tided away. What's more, the music--mostly short, sharp items of standard repertory--has been chosen to demonstrate a broader stylistic range than Gheorghiu can effectively deliver. Her uncertain, watery, unidiomatic readings of "Lascia ch'io pianga" and "Porgi amor" wouldn't win her a part in any Handel or Mozart opera I was casting. But by the time she gets to Massenet ("Adieu notre petit table") and Charpentier ("Depuis le jour") she's on more customary ground. And there she shines, spectacularly, with the pliant, pleading, gossamer-light eloquence that made her such a memorable Violetta at Covent Garden back in the mid-1990s. Beware: there isn't any Verdi on this disc, but there are plenty of other favourites ("Casta Diva", "O mio babbino caro"). It ends with a disarmingly fierce encore of "I could have danced all night" designed to hammer home the tough, resourceful strength beneath the surface of that fragile, cashmere-soft vocal exterior.--Michael White

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but Brilliant, 22 Aug 2007
By Jeffers (Yorkshire UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angela Gheorghiu-Opera Recital [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
This concert runs for 70 minutes. When you allow for the applause and credits, you have well under an hour of "Angela" (Which is what you can expect on a CD!!)
BUT,it's an hour of pure pleasure.If you want to hear probably the greatest soprano of our generation, you are in for a musical treat that you can enjoy over and over.
The sound recording is superb, as is the picture quality. I heartily recommend this recording to anyone who appreciates beautiful singing

5.0 out of 5 stars Music at its best!, 17 Mar 2002
This is one of my most favourite CD's, not the best in my collection, but is still above the average set by other artists. This can appeal to all types of people and purposes, whether you are a keen 'classicalist', or if you want music to set the mood. There are relaxing and strong parts to the CD, and a few tunes on that most have heard. All in all, I like the majority of the album, and reccommend you but it!

2.0 out of 5 stars We have to wait..., 24 Jun 2003
By A Customer
The world of Opera is desperately looking for new superstars.

Angela Gheorghiu is a good soprano and in this CD gives fair performances of famous and not-so-famous arias. Still although she is very good technically she does not seem to be able to give that extra something that distinguishes a good soprano from an exeptional one. I can hear her sing but I can't feel her sing. Caballe, Callas, Hendricks, Sutherland are in a different league.

Gheorghiu is a beautiful woman but this is Opera not Spice Girls. We have to wait more for another superstar.

Full credits to EMI for the exellent booklet.
