Review Verdi: Rigoletto / Callas Edition:Nobody steals the spotlight when Maria Callas is onstage, but Tito Gobbi never lets us forget that this show is called Rigoletto, not Gilda. Neither singer has one of the century's prettiest voices; both have dramatic presence, impact and subtlety-based as much on their control of verbal nuance as on musicianship-that make their characters three-dimensional, the story meaningful and the emotions real, varied and intense. His role is bigger and more complex than hers is. He is almost constantly onstage and his music runs the whole gamut from fatherly tenderness to regret at a life gone wrong to explosive rage. Sparks fly when they sing together and Tullio Serafin conducts with an exemplary grasp of the opera and a detailed knowledge of his cast's capabilities. -Joe McLellan.

Review Hayley Westenra: Pure / Universal Classics:Pure is presented as 16-year-old New Zealand singer Hayley Westenra's first album, though it follows a chart-topping eponymous debut and follow-up Christmas disc, My Gift to You. Pure is still Hayley's first UK release, and capitalises on a rapid move into the international limelight following a duet with Russell Watson as part of his 2002 tour, now preserved on DVD as Russell Watson: The Voice (Live In New Zealand). Comparisons with Charlotte Church are inevitable, yet Westenra has her own distinctive sound. She has impeccably clear diction coupled with a gorgeous voice with a very wide range: her high notes in the Kate Bush hit "Wuthering Heights" are especially striking, and like Bush she is also a dancer, having performed with the Royal New Zealand Ballet. If there's a problem, it's that Pure doesn't have a focus to match Westenra's talent, the tracks spanning everything from "Amazing Grace" to a Maori lullaby ("Hine e Hine") to hybrid pieces adapted from Ravel ("Never Say Goodbye") and Vivaldi's Four Seasons ("River of Dreams"). Ultimately what this set does demonstrate is that whatever direction Westenra finally settles on, she has the ability to go to the very top. For now she is a young artist finding her way, and for many listeners the result is Pure magic. -Gary S Dalkin.

Review Ultrasound: Music for the Unborn Child / Ultrasound:Many hospitals across the US now send new mums and babes home equipped with discs of classical music to soothe and gently stimulate babies' tender minds, Ultrasound does them one better, bringing together a delightfully well-rounded set specifically chosen for those still in the womb. Expectant mums will appreciate the effects of the mellow strains of Bach's Suite No. 3, the delicate playfulness of Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy" and Mozart's proven-to-make-you-smart Sonata for Two Pianos featuring André Previn. Debussy's "Clair de lune" is especially lovely as conducted and fluted by James Galway, and Leontyne Price is a warm blanket of comfort giving voice to Schubert's "Ave Maria". Indeed, these songs are aural balm to both parent and child long after birth. -Paige La Grone.
