Nicola Ghiuselev had the rich, full timbre and seemingly effortless low notes that characterize the classic Slavic bass voice. It also had a strong enough top that he could perform bass-baritone roles such as the four villains in Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann, and even Mozart's Don Giovanni. He first studied both painting and music at the State Conservatory in Sofia, but after deciding he had better career prospects as a singer, he concentrated on that. He made his opera debut at the Bulgarian National Opera in 1960 as Timur in Puccini's Turandot, and soon rose to starring roles with that company. In 1965, he made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Ramfis in Verdi's Aida during a company tour, followed two years later by his Covent Garden debut as Pagano in Verdi's I Lombardi.

Sir Mark Elder - Offenbach: Fantasio (2014) Music

Posted by tirexiss at March 4, 2023

Fantasio is considered one of Offenbach’s most beautiful and refined works. A heady cocktail of charm, gracefulness and gentle melancholy, of bad-tempered jokes and poetry, Fantasio marks the crucial step in Offenbach’s path towards The Tales of Hoffmann. Among the least known of Offenbach’s works it received only 10 performances following its very brief run in Paris in 1872 before it was dropped from the repertoire. This recording marks the world premiere studio recording of the complete opera using the new critical edition by Jean-Christophe Keck.

100 Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe Review by Stephen Eddins
Listeners might quibble over whether the 100 pieces collected here constitute precisely THE most relaxing classical music in the whole universe, but it can't be denied that this music is in fact mellow and relaxing, except for perhaps the Prelude to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, which might get the blood pumping at its climax. The pieces are all instrumental and the tracks are weighted toward orchestral music of the Baroque, Romantic, and post-Romantic periods, although the Classical and Modern periods aren't entirely neglected, and there is some chamber music and keyboard music. The performers tend not to be the most renowned, but the performances are entirely respectable and the sound quality is good. The album should appeal to listeners looking for a broad assortment of quietly lyrical pieces.

Aviva Omnibus - Nutcracker in Fury (2008) Music

Posted by gribovar at June 27, 2014

One discovered Aviva, aka Dmitri Loukanienko, with an excellent first opus published on Musea in the year 2007. Following the good press earned by "Rokus Tonalis", the Russian keyboardist from Nijni-Novgorod logically decided to go one step beyond, in establishing a band. And Aviva Omnibus was born. Included are two guitarists, a bassist-drummer and a second keyboards player (Who also plays violin) helping the Master of Ceremony. As the name indicates, "Nutcracker In Fury" creates a sort of musical fantasy, rearranging, twisting and paying tribute to Tschaikovsky's "Nutcracker", still based on Offenbach's "The Tales Of Hoffmann"…
