RICHARD WAGNER
MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Gotterdammerung (complete opera recorded in 2004) Gran Teatre del Liceu / Harry Kupfer / Deborah Polaski / John Treleaven / Matti Salminem / Falk Struckmann / Gunter von Kannen / Bertrand de Billy [ Opus Arte DVD / 3 DVD Box Set - released 1/Jul/2009 ] "This is in many respects superb. The acid test is that one should emerge exhausted from Wagner's emotional outpourings, yet uplifted, and this de Billy and his team of soloists do in the final analysis achieve" (MusicWeb Sept 2005) |

HANDEL
Rinaldo (complete opera) Deborah York / David Daniels / David Walker / Harry Bicket / Brian Large [ Arthaus Musik / Kultur / 2 DVD - released 1/Apr/2003 ] G: "The recording is excellent, with a choice of surround-sound tracks; but newcomers will find the action incomprehensible, especially from the miserable synopsis, and would do better to start with Hogwood."
