1.Bryn Terfel - Don Giovanni - Mozart [2000] (NTSC) starring: Renée Fleming, Ferruccio Furlanetto, Paul Groves, Hei-Kyung Hong, Sergei Koptchak directed by: Gary Halvorson March 14, 2005

This is one of the best versions of Mozart's masterpiece presently available in DVD. Its greatest attraction is obviously the presence of Renée Fleming and Bryn Terfel. Ms Fleming's interpretation of Donna Anna is truly exceptional: the candor and purity of her voice make a perfect expression of the pain and suffering of that noble woman who's father has been killed by the man who tried to rape her.

2.Bellini - I Puritani [2007] starring: Eric Cutler, Renée Fleming, Margaret Juntwait, Anna Netrebko, John Relyea directed by: Gary Halvorson January 21, 2008

The previous review seriously underplays, I think, the many virtues of this marvellous production. The sets are very good, the orchestra is first class, the conducting excellent, and the atmosphere strong. All the main singers are high quality. Anna Netrebko, to my mind, gives an amazing performance, full of characterization and beautiful singing. Her coloratura is not quite in the Sutherland league - but I have recently re-watched/listened to the latter and, while the high notes of Sutherland's voice are peerless, overall Netrebko's voice + acting + appearance tilt the scales clearly in her favour. This is a bargain of a DVD.
