As one of the acmatics of Simone Kermes' and Andrea Marcon's album "Amor Sacro" the cantata "Nulla mundo in pax sincera" sticks up of all others. Chanted with beautiful coloratura-passages at the end, Simone Kermes shows her broad talent. Enjoy it!
The roman mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli and the welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel sing the great Duet "Quanto amore! Ed io spietata..." between Adina and Dr. Dulcamara from Donizetti's Opera "L'elisir d'amore".
Tatiana Troyanos sings the most famous Aria from Carmen. Her voice and her timbre is unique. My favourite version of this Aria from Bizet's Opera. Enjoy it...
This awesome concert-aria from W.A. Mozart is, how I think, one of the best recordings ever made. Sumi Jo is just brilliant and is characterized by her technical perfection.
Tatiana Troyanos sings one of the most famous Arias of Handels Opera "Giulio Caesare". It's one of her greatest roles and shows her fantastic and all in all incomparable timbre.
Enjoy this version of an new World-premiere recording of the Venice Baroque Orchestra with Andrea Marcon on the top and the german soprano Simone Kermes, who has earned with her voice in Germany the title "Leipziger Pulverfass", what she even is. Glass-clear and metall-like in the highs - a unique soprano of our times.
This beautifull aria was composed by an also forgotten german composer, who is called Carl Heinrich Graun (1703-1759).
The Opera "Cleopatra e Cesare" was premiered in 1742 in Berlin.
Soprano: Isabel Bayrakdarian
Conductor and Orchestra: Jeanne Lamon with the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra
This Aria from Mozart's "Entführung aus dem Serail" is unique sung by Kathleen Battle. In addition under the great conductership of James Levine it became just a beautiful recording.
The american soprano Barbara Bonney is, how i think, one of the best Mozart interpreters of our time. Here she's singing the role of Servilia from Mozarts "La Clemenza di Tito". I love her!
Se pieta di me non senti,
giusto ciel, io moriro
Tu da pace a miei tormenti,
o quest'alma spirero
This, in my opinion, most beautifull version from this aria is sung by mezzo-soprano Tatiana Troyanos as Cleopatra from Handel's opera Giulio Caesare. Make you prepared to get tears in your eyes...

Soprano: Isabel Bayrakdarian
Conductor and Orchestra: Jeanne Lamon with the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra
This pearl of early baroque music by the nearly forgotten master Luigi Rossi is sung with breath-taking technique by contralto Gloria Banditelli. Above all the passage at 2:48!!! Enjoy it
With this beautifull aria from Handel's opera "Floridante" Nathalie Stuztmann shows her broad and acromatic timbre. Conductor of the Hannover Band is baroque-specialist Roy Goodman.
