French Opera Arias
Monserrat Caballe (soprano) / New Philharmonia Orchestra London / Reynald Giovaninetti (with Placido Domingo, tenor)
[ DG Spotlight / CD ]
Release Date: Thursday 24 August 2006
Domingo's original 'crossover' LP, re-presented as it was originally, complete with artist interview in the package and including an alternative cover on the inside!
Be My Love was Placido Domingo's first crossover venture. This hugely successful LP from 1976 contains 14 popular tracks in five languages, half in his mother-tongue, Spanish. There are two famous Mario Lanza numbers ( Be My Love and Because ), and among the 'new' repertoire is the German Ich schenke dir eine neue Welt , tipped at the time as a hit. Dein ist mein ganzes Herz - You are my heart's delight - that is Domingo's declaration of love to music. He hopes his listeners will feel the same.
