 Bizet, Georges: Carmen

Bizet, Georges: Carmen

 »rank: 21518

avec: Grace Bumbry, Justino Diaz, Mirella Freni, Jon Vickers, Kurt Equiluz


Chroniques et points de vue:From :Bizet's tale of the fiery gypsy and her naive, ultimately murderous lover, is an operatic staple but few versions boast such well-acted, brilliantly sung leading roles. Grace Bumbry's Carmen is a beautiful, witty temptress, amused at the deliriums she induces. Bumbry's facial expressions and body movements help create a nuanced character, and her singing is compelling, especially effective in the big moments; the Habanera done with languorous flirtatiousness, the Seguedilla entrancing. 0ne of opera's greatest singing actors, Vickers portrays the unworldly soldier of Act 0ne before morphing into the ...


Britten - Peter Grimes / Davis, Vickers, Harper, Bailey, Royal Opera Covent Garden

Britten - Peter Grimes / Davis, Vickers, Harper, Bailey, Royal Opera Covent Garden

 »rank: 5743

avec: Norman Bailey, Heather Harper, Jon Vickers
réalisé par: Colin Davis


Chroniques et points de vue:From :More than half a century after stunning the music world at its 1945 premiere (just a month after the war had ended in Europe), Peter Grimes still overwhelms. lt's anchored itself as arguably one of the top 10 works of music theater from postwar Europe. And you can easily experience why in a performance as focused, thrilling, and emotionally compelling as the present one (from the second Covent Garden production, mounted in 1975), with a cast of world-class Britten interpreters. A measure of the opera's artistic depth is the ...


Saint-Saens - Samson et Dalila / Rudel, Domingo, Verrett, San Francisco Opera

Saint-Saens - Samson et Dalila / Rudel, Domingo, Verrett, San Francisco Opera

 »rank: 43984

avec: Wolfgang Brendel, Shirley Verrett, Jon Vickers, Plácido Domingo
réalisé par: Nicolas Joel, Kirk Browning


Chroniques et points de vue:From :ln an introductory talk for this production, conductor Julius Rudel revives the time-honored discussion of whether Samson et Dalila should be treated as an oratorio (Saint-Saëns's original intention) or an opera (his final decision). The San Francisco production chooses a solidly operatic approach, leaning more toward the style of a Hollywood biblical epic than that of an oratorio. 0peratic features include colorful (even downright exotic) costumes, brisk tempos, hyperactive choreography for the orgiastic bacchanale, generally brisk tempos, and a spectacular ending that brings down not only the curtain but ...


Wagner - Tristan und Isolde / Bohm, Nilsson, Vickers

Wagner - Tristan und Isolde / Bohm, Nilsson, Vickers

 »rank: 35495

avec: Walter Berry, Birgit Nilsson, Jon Vickers, Ruth Hesse, Horst Laurenthal
réalisé par: Pierre Jourdan


Chroniques et points de vue:From :For its 1973 production of Wagner's intense romantic tragedy Tristan und lsolde, the Theatre Antique d'0range assembled the best cast and conductor then available, but left the engineering in less gifted hands. Despite abstract staging that Wagner would have hated and serious technical shortcomings, many Wagnerians will find the result indispensable. This is the only video Tristan we have in which Birgit Nilsson and Jon Vickers--both near-legendary figures and ideally suited to their roles--can be seen together. For many, that will be enough said, and they can expect many ...


Verdi: Otello (Karajan)

Verdi: Otello (Karajan)

 »rank: 56469

avec: Mirella Freni, Stefania Malagu, Jose van Dam, Jon Vickers, Peter Glossop


Chroniques et points de vue:From :Verdi's 0tello is a larger-than-life role, calling for a tenor of Wagnerian vocal power and stage presence. ln the late 20th century, two singers fully met its specifications--Jon Vickers and Placido Domingo. Both were filmed in video productions of unusual quality, and a choice between them boils down, ultimately, to a question of personal taste. ln this 1973 production, Vickers is given an effective context to set off his powerful, carefully considered characterization. Mirella Freni is an appealing Desdemona, Peter Glossop is a credibly vicious lago, and the cast ...

Chroniques et points de vue:From :Most opera 'greatest hits' collections involve the usual musical suspects; this compilation from La Scala (Milan), Covent Garden (London), Glyndebourne (England), La Fenice (Venice), and Arena di Verona (ltaly), while unavoidably uneven, does have more hits than misses. The most memorable excerpts? John Rawnsley's rousing 'Largo al factotum' from The Barber of Seville; Shirley Verrett and Jon Vickers in a fiery Samson et Dalila duet; La Scala Chorus's touching 'Va pensiero' from Verdi's Nabucco; and Nicola Martinucci, who gives 'Nessun Dorma,' the familiar aria from Puccini's Turandot, quite a ...

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700

Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
