Of course some people would rather just listen to their favorite of the three tenors instead of the three and two of the three offer up their own such project. In the case of Domingo, his album is filled with a few Christmas favorites and then a bunch of other pieces that he performs with other artists including Idina Menzel, The Piano Guys and his son among others. This one is more for those that want a little more crossover vibe. Luciano Pavarotti – Pavarotti’s effort is far more spiritually included with two different “Ave Maria’s,” Franck’s “Panis Angelicus,” the “Ingemisco” from Verdi’s Requiem and other selections from Gluck, Rossini, Bizet, Berlioz and Schubert among others. This album is more for those in an introspective mood for the holidays.
Andrea Bocelli – Ever popular, Bocelli’s album mixes some popular Christmas songs with other choices that should please his biggest fans. He has some fun including The Muppets in Jingle Bells and is joined with Katherine Jenkins in “I Believe.” Renee Fleming – The great American soprano presents numerous Christmas classics in unique arrangements ranging from pop to jazz to broadway by such artists as Chris Botti, Kurt Elling, Wynton Marsalis, Brad Mehldau and Gregory Porter among others. Angela Gheorghiu – The Romania soprano’s international album is only available for download bia Amazon and iTunes but it features Christmas favorites including “White Christmas,” “Silent Night” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.” If you are looking for a soprano voice to fill your holidays but you want a more traditional feel, this is the album for you. Vittorio Grigolo – Taking a queue from Pavarotti’s “O Holy Night” album, Grigolo’s album features mainly sacred pieces, many of which are perfect for the holiday. Bryn Terfel – This is a thorough two-disc set featuring Christmas music from around the world. Terfel is the centerpiece, but features several international artists including tenor Rolando Villazon. Listeners will hear refreshing versions of major classics while hearing other festive songs from other countries around the world.
There is also a memorable Bing Crosby duet of “White Christmas”, using the iconic singer’s original recording. Fritz Wunderlich – Released in 2015, this album is simply a gem by one of the greatest singers of all time. This album is filled with Christmas Carols and an iconic recording of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio that features such legends as Gundula Jonnowitz and Christa Ludwig under the baton of Karl Richter.

This week I’d like to share two new opera releases—one by stunning newcomer and a second by the renowned veteran. Both CDs are highly recommended for devotees as well as opera neophytes. Pretty Yende is a young South African singer who has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom.
She fell in love with opera after hearing the famous “” from opera on a. She was just 16 and lived in the small town of, 200 miles from Johannesburg. Although she knew nothing about opera, Yende was determined to become an opera singer. She studied with Virginia Davids at the South African College of Music in Cape Town, and later joined the young artists’ program at La Scala in Milan, graduating in 2011. By the time she was 27, Yende had starred at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. She makes her in June.
Yende’s new Sony Classical release is only her second album. I was immediately struck, quite simply, by the beauty of her soprano. Her pitch was spot on, the timbre of her voice gorgeous, and her command of difficult areas impressive. Critics in Europe and the U.S.
Have praised the beauty and power of her singing, as well as her acting ability. She was called “the miracle soprano” by Germany’s Die Zeit. On she performs arias by,.
Here is Pretty Yende with the Hamburg State Opera and conducting the aria “Je Veux Vivre” from the Gounod opera: Luciano Pavarotti (1935-2007) is considered one of the greatest—if not the greatest—operatic tenors of all time. Decca has just released a lovely two-CD collection called with a nice balance of material and which provides a great introduction to this magnificent artist.
This new set features the operatic side of the famous tenor as well as his embrace of Italian popular song. On the album’s first CD we hear 25 famous arias tracks by, and others. On the other hand, the second CD features 25 Italian popular song favorites. It’s a wonderful selection that shows both sides of his musical personality. Pavarotti, along with singing great operas on the world stage, also worked and recorded with pop icons James Brown, Sting, Bono, and Elton John. Pavarotti was quintessentially Italian—a lover of music, food and wine, and all forms of pleasure.

He once said, “One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever we are doing and devote ourselves to eating.” It reminds me of something I once heard when the 1996 film Big Night came out: “Whereas other people eat to live, Italians live to eat.” This might as well have applied to the great Pavarotti. Here is the maestro singing Gounod’s “Ave Maria” in Los Angeles: And then on stage with James Brown singing “It’s a Man’s World”: Banner image of Pretty Yende courtesy of Sony Classical.
