About this product
At a time when there were limited opportunities to attend the opera house, and before the existence of recordings, the operatic fantasy proved a popular and ingenious way to spend great melodies to a wider audience. Some classics of this genre are heard in this second volume - not least Wilhelmj's arrangement of Handel and Kreisler's beautifully tranquil arrangement of Gluck - but there are also memorable examples from Verdi and Hubay's piquant opera Le Luthier de Cremone, as well as two vivid contemporary examples that continue the genre into the twenty-first century.

He was violin soloist at the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie, and directed orchestras both there and in Ghent. He is most known for his contributions to saxophone literature, as well as his vast oeuvre of violin works. Violinist Thomas Wood serves as professor of music at The College of Wooster. He was the first violinist to be awarded the degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Violin Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also studied at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. In addition to these recordings featuring Singelee's works, he is currently writing a book on the opera fantasies of the composer as well.
