Angela's Ashes - by Alan Parker (1999)

The film, an adaptation of Frank McCourt's best-selling memoir, tells the tragic yet hopeful story of a boy growing up poor in Limerick, Ireland.

Hyperion is delighted to present Angela Hewitt’s third volume of Mozart piano concertos. Writing in The Observer, Stephen Pritchard wrote of the first volume that ‘Judging from this first example, it’s going to be a journey as revelatory as her exploration of all the major keyboard works of Bach’.

Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna star in the 2009 Metropolitan Opera production of Puccini’s 'La Rondine'. This new production, directed by Nicholas Joël, was the company’s first staging in 70 years. This elegant romance is the least-known work of the mature Giacomo Puccini. The story concerns a kept woman who defies convention to chase a dream of romantic love with an earnest, if naïve, young man. This Met Opera production features the dynamic soprano Angela Gheorghiu and Frenchborn tenor Roberto Alagna performing the roles of Magda and Ruggero, it blooms into its rightful place in the glorious Puccini canon. 'La Rondine' was commissioned by Vienna’s Carltheater in 1913. Due to the impending outbreak of World War I, premiered in 1917, at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo with Gilda Dalla Rizza and Tito Schipa.

This was Angela's debut recording for CBC Enterprises. Her recording debut was on Deutsche Gramophon in 1985, which was one of the prizes of the 1985 International Bach Piano Competition. Having listened avidly to the entire competition (it was broadcast in its entirety on CBC Radio), I can attest that she was not (nor could have been) the "sentimental favourite" of this judged competition, as only one of the ten judges was Canadian. She may have been the sentimental favourite of Olivier Messiaen and Yvonne Loriod, but this would hardly have won her first prize.
