Jose Carreras - Italian Opera Composer's Songs - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

José Carreras - Sing Catalan Songs [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/22/1991

British soprano Sarah Fox makes her solo recording debut with songs by Broadway songwriting legend Cole Porter. Accompanied by pianist and arranger James Burton, highlights include 'In the Still of the Night', 'I've got you Under My Skin' and 'I get a Kick out of You'. InchWe have collected what we think is a representative spread of Porter's incredibly varied output, including some lesser known numbers which we think stand up alongside the others, and shed yet more complimentary light on Porter's outstanding talent for combining melody, text and wit.Inch (James Burton)

Romanticist and classicist, modernist and conservative, the violinist Joseph Szigeti defied classification. His wide repertoire ranged from Bach to Bartók and beyond, and he played it all with skill and understanding, becoming known as 'the thinking man's virtuoso'. Issued internationally and complete, for the first time on CD in this Limited Edition original-jackets collection, these Mercury recordings were made in New York and London during the autumn of Szigeti's career, between 1959 and 1961. The original Mercury tapes have been given new high-definition transfers at Abbey Road Studios, and then remastered by Thomas Fine.
