CD Nabucco was Verdi's third opera, and it's filled with one great, energy-filled melody after another; if the drama is a bit crude (the characters are one-dimensional at best), the emotions are sincere and the passions run high enough to make one forgive Verdi's youthful enthusiasm. The role of Abigaille, Nabucco's evil daughter, is a voice-wrecker, but the animal-like Ghena Dimitrova sounds as if she could sing it in her sleep. She hurls the high Bs and Cs at us as ferociously as the Bs and

This live-performance of Tosca starring Milanov, Corelli and Guelfi was recorded very late in Milanov's career but unlike the studio-recording this is a blazing, vocally stunning Tosca. The queen of pianissimi not only triumphs in the gentle parts of the ''Vissi d'arte'' but sings absolutely impeccable high Cs in Act II. Her portrayal is vivid, beautiful and engaging. Listen to Corelli and Milanov singing the love-duet of act one and be enchanted. Act II is a thrill, only a few Toscas thrill me

As remastered for EMI's Great Recordings of the Century series, this classic 1959 Carmen sounds marginally better than its previous silver disc incarnation. Tape hiss is reduced, but without any compromise in residual overtones. A/B comparisons also tipped the scales in favor of the present reissue for newfound clarity and character among the lower-pitched instruments and the choral forces. Like many conductors of his generation, Beecham viewed Carmen as grand opera, instead of opera comique,

This delicately balanced story of two engaged couples who are inveigled into a brief flirtation with infidelity inspired some of the finest music Mozart ever composed. It is often textured with the fine nuances of chamber music, with some particularly delectable woodwind parts, and it progresses from contrived artificiality--when the two men make a rash bet with a friend about the unshakable faithfulness of their fiancées--into intense despair when that fidelity begins to be shaken. There is

William Tell, best known for its overture, which was used as the Lone Ranger's theme song, was Rossini's final opera, and a magnificent, four-hour singfest it is. Tell is a baritone role, handsomely sung here by Sherrill Milnes, and the heroine is Matilde, who, as performed by Mirella Freni, has every bel canto trick in her repertoire and keeps her cool even during some wickedly fast and high music. But the most challenging role--and the reason the opera is rarely performed--is for the tenor,

CD Korngold composed this charming comic opera at the ripe old age of 17. The story is simple: Court composer Wilhelm Arndt couldn't be happier. He has a loving wife, Laura; he's just gotten a promotion, and, best of all, a wealthy aunt has just kicked the bucket, leaving him a pile of money. The only thing he lacks is his best friend, who opportunely shows up but turns out to be a jealous jerk. Lusting after Laura, he convinces his superstitious friend that he should give something up to

Ketelbey's often distinctively evocative, exotic sounding works made him one of the most beloved composers in England during his lifetime. He was also among the first to compose background music for silent films- practically inventing, if not fully realizing the potential of the genre. Whether it's with the lush pastoral melody set with actual bird calls in one of Ketelbey's most famous works ''In a Monastery Garden'' or the highly chromatic broad orchestral gestures of ''Sanctuary of the
