The
Broadway Channel
You
can't help thinking that if Mozart had been alive in the
20th Century, he'd have had shows on Broadway. While the
musical has its roots in Europe - in operetta and in opera
before that - the modern musical was born and bred in America.
Not just music and words, but dance and drama and comedy
and spectacle, bawdy gags and exquisite emotions, the grit
of slang and the grace of poetry. Here on the Broadway Channel
you'll find the greatest musicals ever written - Show Boat,
Porgy and Bess, Oklahoma, Kiss Me Kate, South Pacific, My
Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, West Side Story… - the list
goes on and on. Join us in our celebration of these timeless
musical creations which have entertained and inspired generations.

The
Romantic Channel
Here
the temperature rises! Our Romantic Channel is the home
of Grand Opera. You'll find composers such as Verdi, Puccini,
Massenet, Gounod and Wagner. The orchestrations are big
and rich and the singers are charged with passion. Pavarotti,
Domingo, Carreras, Corelli, Callas, Tebaldi, Gobbi, Merrill,
Christoff and Ghiaurov - you'll find them all here - plus
many more!

The
Orchestral Channel
Here
at OperadiO.com we're mostly dedicated to the human voice.
However, there are instrumental sections in all operas -
Intermezzos, Prologues and Overtures, all of which you can
hear on our other channels. We've extended that 'instrumental'
theme here on the Orchestral Channel. It's absolutely what
it says it is - you'll find no voices here! But you'll discover
the greatest orchestral works ever written by the greatest
composers. This channel encompasses all periods - from Baroque
to the early 20th Century. You'll find concerti here too.
So, for instance, as well as Rachmaninov's Symphony No.2,
you'll also find his Piano Concerto No.2...and No.3. As
well as Tchaikovsky's Symphonies, you'll find his great
Violin Concerto. And all these works played by the top musicians
in the top orchestras in the world.

The
Oratorio Channel
At
the service of religion some of the greatest composers in
history have provided us with some of the most beautiful
music ever written. On the Oratorio Channel you'll find
the father of all composers - Johann Sebastian Bach. He's
joined by members of his family - C.P.E. and J.C. as well
as Mozart, Handel, Faure, Mendelssohn, Brahms - the list
is enormous!! This music is not just relaxing and ethereal,
it's charged with drama too. Enjoy!

The
Interview Channel
Richard
Morrison and his colleagues talk to the top young artists
and biggest stars of Opera and Classical Music, including
Angela Gheorghiu, Bernard Haitink, Sir Thomas Allen, Nelly
Miricioiu, Anja Harteros and Ingo Metzmacher.
|
|
The
Bel Canto Channel
Meaning
simply 'beautiful singing', this is a title which really
applies to more or less all our channels here at OperadiO.com!
But here you can specifically listen to the music of the
composers from the Bel Canto period plus a little more.
We've included Mozart too - so you'll find scenes and arias
from The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and Cosi fan tutte
(to name but three) as well as the works of the great Italian
composers, Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini.
|
|
The
Baroque Channel
Baroque
music is incredibly popular and extremely pleasing to listen
too. We enlisted the assistance of the distinguished conductor
Trevor Pinnock while compiling the playlist for this channel
and we've extended our time scale to encompass music from
earlier periods still. Here you'll discover the music of
such composers at Monteverdi, Corelli, Albinoni, Bach, Handel
and the young Mozart.

The
Back to Bach Channel
“The
immortal God of harmony” – the words of Beethoven describing
Bach in a letter to Christoph Breitkopf in 1801. In our
Back to Bach Channel we mark the 250th Anniversary of the
death of Johann Sebastian Bach by presenting his greatest
compositions from the breadth of his repertoire – including
the Brandenburg Concerti, Violin Sonatas and Partitas, Cello
Suites, Goldberg Variations, the two mighty Passions, St.
John and St. Matthew, his B Minor Mass, Cantata 140, “Wachet
auf” – and many, many more, performed by such artists as
The Münchner Bach-Orchester, Karl Richter, Yo-Yo Ma, Glenn
Gould, Rosalyn Tureck, Jascha Heifetz, Philippe Herreweghe,
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Janet Baker, Andreas Scholl and
Ian Bostridge. Join us in our celebration and listen in
wonder to the music of J.S. Bach, the father of all composers.

The
Archive Channel
The
Archive channel is our gem. This is where you can hear the
great singers of the Golden Era. You can hear the legendary
voices of Caruso, Gigli and Schipa - the 3 tenors of their
day. Ruffo, De Luca, Battistini, Ponselle, Tetrazzini, Flagstad,
Pinza and Kipnis. These were the greatest singers in the
world during the first half of this century. They were the
pioneers in the recording of the human voice - the first
to be committed to record. The world was a very different
place when these singers plied their trade. Listen to their
art - one which many argue is now dead! - here on the Archive
Channel.
