LPs, eh? That could be tough. I don't know of any opera recordings, especially from the major labels, that are available on vinyl. It will be the used market only. Yeah, "Carmen" is a good choice, maybe with Callas and Gedda. My favorite Puccini opera is "La Fanciulla del West" or "The Girl of the Golden West". I suggest the Angel recording with Nilsson. "Turandot" is another good 'un, but I prefer the golden, open-throated, no holes barred approach of Corelli as the Prince Calaf. "Samson and Delilah" is another rip snorter. Domingo had two good recordings. This is all a matter of taste so let the flames begin, if there are any opera fans on AudiogoN. Middle and late Verdi is also prime stuff. Happy hunting and listening.
Opera recommendations on vinyl
Hello, I'm looking for opera record recommendations, preferably something currently available on line. I recently purchased Madama Butterfly and would like more of that variety. Carmen comes to mind but I'm sure there are many others. Please give me any specifics necessary in acquiring these LPs.
Thanks,
Thanks,
