 | The 3 Tenors in Concert 1994 / William Cosel
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $7.99 Maybe more aptly named the battle of the tenors. Domingo's power and range stand out above them all. The highlight of the disc Domingo's 'Amor,vida de mi vida' and 'Vesti la guibba'.

 | The Berlin Concert: Live from the Waldbühne
Buy new: $18.97 / Used from: $15.48 A new tenor has arrived by the name of Rolando Villazon. Domingo, although looking older, still has one of the most powerful voices in the world.
Highlight; I'd have to pick Netrobko and Villazon (as Mimi and Rodolfo) singing the love duet ' O soave fanciulla ' from Puccini's "La Boheme". Also Villazon's 'La Dansa' is very good.

 | Europa Konzert From Palermo
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $14.94 4 great works on this DVD. Beethoven's 'Egmont Overture, Brahms' Violin Concerto with Gil Shaham, Dvorak's 'New World Symph' and Verdi's 'Sicilian Vespers'. Overall the entire DVD is incredible; Highlight; take your pick.

 | Europa Konzert From Athens: Johannes Brahms: Piano Concerto No.1 & Piano Quartet No. 1/Daniel Baren
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $20.53 A concert from an outdoor amphitheater. Highlight; Daniel Barenboim, playing the 3rd movement of the Brahms' Piano concerto is with great pace and energy; stunning (even with the occasional bird chirping in the background).
|
 | Orff - Carmina Burana/Beethoven - Symphony No. 9
Buy new: $18.97 / Used from: $17.00 A great DVD featuring Seiji Ozawa as conductor. Orff's entire 'Carmina Burana is superb.
Highlight; Kathleen Battle's rendition of 'Dulcissime' is stunning. 49 seconds of the purist voice you'll every hear.
|
 | Beethoven - Choral Fantasy and Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello & Piano / Barenboim, Ma, Perlman
Buy new: $15.97 / Used from: $11.11 The Triple Concerto on this DVD is first rate. Yo Yo Ma, I. Perlman and Daniel Barenboim perform with such incredible skill and sense of timing; a stunning work.
Highlight; Yo Yo Ma's sensitive opening of the 2nd movement of 'The Triple Concerto'; played with emotion and intensity.
Also Barenboim's piano interpretation of the 'Choral Fantasy' is truly magnificent.
|
 | Cecilia & Bryn at Glyndebourne
Buy used from: $28.00 One incredible duet or solo after another.
One of those performances where the artist, conductor and orchestra were in perfect sync.
Highlight(s); The duets featuring Donizetti's "Quanto amore" from the L'Elisir d'Amore, and 'La ci darem' from Mozart's 'Don Giovanni'.
