AUGUST ENNA: Overture “Cleopatra”; Violin Con. in D major; Symphonic Fantasy – Kathrin Rabus, violin/NDR Radiophilharmonie/Hermann Bäumer – CPO
Some nice works that have a ring of familiarity.
HANDEL: Jephtha (complete opera) – Soloists/ The Sixteen/ Harry Christophers – Coro (3 CDs)
A worthy effort, but not quite up to the classic Gardiner version on Philips.
VERDI: I Vespri Siciliani (complete opera), Blu-ray (2012)
Far better than most, with terrific sound and fine video, this Vespri is well worth the effort.
JAKE HEGGIE: Moby Dick (complete opera), Blu-ray (2013)
This classic story is given a brilliant operatic treatment.
