Arabella

Gramophone

Great Operatic Arias - Cheryl Barker
Arabella

Arabella and Zdenka's Duet
'He's not the one who is right for me'
- 'The one who's right for me'
Salome
Classic FM
‘Here a great cast, superb conducting and outstanding playing make for a recording that can stand comparison with any on the market. Soprano Susan Bullock... sounds suitably powerful and decadent as Salome, and tenor John Graham-Hall is a wonderfully neurotic Herod. Bass-baritone John Wegner is a beefy Jokanaan and with Mackerras's intense conducting and a truly luxurious sound from the Philharmonia it adds up to a white-knuckle ride.’
