manny a. quito Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Andre Riéu may be credited with popularizing classical music today, much like Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Fiedler in their time. He is a superstar in Europe and has been featured several times on PBS in the United States. This YouTube clip excerpted from the DVD Andre Riéu in Wonderland features operatic bass Brian Dickerson singing I've Got Plenty O' Nothing, operatic tenors The Platin Tenors (Thomas Greuel, Béla Mavrák & Gary Bennett) singing The Impossible Dream, and operatic soprano Suzan Erens singing Over The Rainbow. Watch on YouTube. Here's some info on The Platin Singers. Unfortunately, there's no YouTube clip of Brian Dickerson singing O Isis und Osiris from Mozart's The Magic Flute, which is a shame since I think it's the highlight of the entire concert. Don't fret, though, because you can download an MP3 file of it here. Uncompress with WinRAR. You're in for a very special auditory treat. Edited June 3, 2008 by manny a. quito Quote Link to comment
manny a. quito Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) If you couldn't download the Brian Dickerson MP3 of O Isis und Osiris from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, perhaps, you may want to hear Gottlob Frick singing it in the film "The Life and Loves of Mozart." Watch on YouTube. Edited June 4, 2008 by manny a. quito Quote Link to comment

manny a. quito Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Patience, Snow. Emule is a peer-to-peer network, so that not everyone is continuously connected. In the eMule Transfer or Search display window, under the Sources column, the pair of numbers indicate, total number of available sources, then in parentheses, number of complete sources. You'll just have to wait until the sources connect to the network. Sometimes, it will take days to download the entire file, since the parts come from different sources which are not always online. Here is another ed2k link for 2-CD Bjorling's Manon Lescaut, this time in uncompressed WAV format, hence the rather large file size (more than 800 Mb): ed2k://|file|Puccini.-.Manon.Lescaut.-.Bjorling,Albanese,Perlea.Studio.Recording.1954.rar|933711774|6F52FC2609E2C88A1F9AE790CBC582D4|/ That's it. Those are all the links I've found. I haven't seen any torrent links. Take your pick, and have luck downloading. P.S. MANON LESCAUT – Giacomo Puccini To further guide your choice of download, I've discovered that there are two versions of this opera recording. One is the classic RCA-Victor studio recording from 1954 with Licia Albanese and Jussi Bjoerling, and the other is the live recording of the Metropolitan Opera House broadcast from two years later (1956), which was to be the first time they were to sing this opera together in the theater. Personnel of studio recording: RCA VictorRecorded at Rome Opera1954 Conductor: Jonel Perlea Manon Lescaut: Licia AlbaneseLescaut: Robert MerrillCavalier des Grieux: Jussi BjoerlingGeronte de Ravoir: Franco CalabreseEdmond: Mario CarlinInnkeeper / Ship's Captain: Enrico CampiMadrigalist: Anna Maria Rota " Much of the success of this recording revolves around its studio sound. The voices are so forward,and the balance with the orchestra so singer-focussed that it really captures the intimacy and eroticism of Puccini's little opera. The choice of singers has a lot to do with this as well. Neither Albanese nor Bjoerling have stentorian voices. Both have highly individualistic and essentially lyric timbres. This, for me, is what makes this recording work so well. Because of the excellent balance between the miking of the singers and the backdrop focus of the orchestra, Albanese and Bjoerling can practically whisper at each other. They both respond to the emotional content and language very individually, and the illusion of youthful ardor they capture is breathtaking."
