Review My First Love / Nicky Spence:

Though still relatively young, Nicky Spence has already enjoyed a formidable career. Not only was he the youngest singer to attend the reputable Guildford School of Music and Drama, but he has sung at Wembley, toured with Katherine Jenkins and Shirley Bassey, performs regularly at the Royal Albert Hall - and even had a piece of music composed for him by the renowned John Rutter. Not bad for someone who recently celebrated their 23rd birthday. My First Love, Spence's debut album, goes some way to explaining this success. It's a mature and accomplished work that showcases his tremendous, dramatic tenor voice in no uncertain terms, placing him immediately in the "Super-League" of pop-classical singers. Produced by Chris Hazell (the man behind Aled Jones, among others), My First Love weaves together traditional Scottish songs such as "My Love Is A Red, Red Rose" and "Skye Boat Song" with arias, chanson and operetta. His stirring renditions of "Santa Lucia", "Girls Were Made To Love And Kiss", and "Brinidisi" (from La Traviata) really give these eternal songs a new lease of life; helped along, of course, by the pristine arrangements of the Royal Philharmonic. More sophisticated than other pop-classical albums on the market, My First Love is an album to sweep you off your feet -Danny McKenna.

Review Verdi: Falstaff / Berliner Philharmoniker Claudio Abbado:

A common failing of Falstaff recordings is the hole in the middle-the larger-than-life Sir John sung by baritones several sizes too small for the role, both vocally and dramatically. That problem is nonexistent here-Bryn Terfel's outsized singing personality perfectly matches Verdi's conception. Whether bellowing in rage, preening in praise of his fleshly abundance, or crooning sweet nothings to his intended conquests, Terfel dominates this performance as a Falstaff should. As his adversaries, Thomas Hampson's Ford is outstanding, well-sung and characterised, and Adrianne Pieczonka's Mistress Ford, like the pair of young lovers, is quite good too. In fact, there's little to complain about the rest of this well-assembled cast. If some older recordings of the opera boast more distinctive touches (eg the way Cloe Elmo's Mistress Quickly relishes her repeated "reverenzas" for Toscanini), few are as well matched. Abbado gets the Berlin Philharmonic to play well; the engineering is adequate, if opaque, with orchestral details too often fading into the background. In sum, while Abbado's Falstaff doesn't match the classic Toscanini, Karajan (his first) or Solti, it's by far the best of the current crop and indispensable for Terfel and Hampson. -Dan Davis.
