BERLIOZ: BENVENUTO CELLINI
With
LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
2007 - Berlioz's flamboyant opera Benvenuto Cellini is inspired by the life of the legendary Florentine goldsmith and Renaissance figure. Its first performances in Paris during 1838-39 were disastrous as it proved too great a challenge for the musicians of the day. Yet even by Berlioz's high standards it contains music of exceptional inventiveness and beauty.
Cast: Sir Colin Davis (conductor), Gregory Kunde, Laura Claycomb, Darren Jeffery, Peter Coleman-Wright, Andrew Kennedy, Isabelle Cals, Jacques Imbrailo, John Relyea, Andrew Foster-Williams, Alasdair Elliott

MEYERBEER "L'ESULE DI GRANATA"
From

Almanzor - Manuela Custer, Azema - Laura Claycomb, Sulemano - Mirco Palazzi, Alamar - Paul Austin Kelly, Ali - Brindley Sherratt, Omar - Ashley Catling. Geoffrey Mitchell Choir, Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Giuliano Carella - conductor

"ARCADIAN DUETS" ON AMAZON.COM
- Emmanuëlle Haïm and members of Le Concert d'Astrée make
their recording
debut on Virgin Classics with a selection of brilliant and rarely-heard chamber
duets by Handel with ten outstanding soloists. These ten small masterpieces
span Handel's composing career from 1706 to 1745; passionate and theatrical,
they make high demands on the soloists, some of their music later finding its
way into Handel's operas and oratorios, most notably Messiah. Featuring a
stellar cast: Laura Claycomb, Veronique Gens, Natalie Dessay, Patricia
Petibon, Ana-Maria Panzarella, Juanita Lascarro, Sara Mingardo, Brian Asawa,
Mariana Mijanovic, and Paul Agnew.
