As one of the acmatics of Simone Kermes' and Andrea Marcon's album "Amor Sacro" the cantata "Nulla mundo in pax sincera" sticks up of all others. Chanted with beautiful coloratura-passages at the end, Simone Kermes shows her broad talent. Enjoy it!
Tatiana Troyanos sings one of the most famous Arias of Handels Opera "Giulio Caesare". It's one of her greatest roles and shows her fantastic and all in all incomparable timbre.
The american soprano Barbara Bonney is, how i think, one of the best Mozart interpreters of our time. Here she's singing the role of Servilia from Mozarts "La Clemenza di Tito". I love her!
This Aria from Mozart's "Entführung aus dem Serail" is unique sung by Kathleen Battle. In addition under the great conductership of James Levine it became just a beautiful recording.
This beautifull aria was composed by an also forgotten german composer, who is called Carl Heinrich Graun (1703-1759).

Tatiana Troyanos sings the most famous Aria from Carmen. Her voice and her timbre is unique. My favourite version of this Aria from Bizet's Opera. Enjoy it...
This awesome concert-aria from W.A. Mozart is, how I think, one of the best recordings ever made. Sumi Jo is just brilliant and is characterized by her technical perfection.
This pearl of early baroque music by the nearly forgotten master Luigi Rossi is sung with breath-taking technique by contralto Gloria Banditelli. Above all the passage at 2:48!!! Enjoy it
