CD95317 Richard Verreau Recital No. 2
In reply to the warm reception given my recent posting of a Richard Verreau
recital (message #95302), here is a much less interesting second recital by
Richard Verreau, in which I have gathered 77+ minutes of material from many
sources already available on the internet or elsewhere. The only virtue of this
collection is that it brings all this material together in one place. Most of it
comes from Youtube (the most interesting from old Canadian TV programs), but I
have also taken arias and duets from complete live recordings already uploaded
to OperaShare (Les Troyens, Les pêcheurs de perles, the Verdi Requiem). My
thanks to the original uploaders. I have not tried to adjust sound or bitrates
or track down original sources or dates.
The sound quality is as varied as the original sources, and this collection is
good proof (if anyone still needed it) that we should not blindly trust bitrates
as a guarantee of sound quality: here an item at 64 kbps can sound far better
than another at 320.
