Barber: Vanessa Blu-ray

Samuel Barber's Vanessa Blu-ray is a prize winning opera and boasts one of the 20th century's most beautiful scores.

Vanessa unfolds in generous swathes of melody, rich in filmic strings and soaring brass, with echoes of Puccini, Berg and Strauss. It climaxes in the final quintet of Mozartean poignancy - one of the greatest ensembles of the contemporary repertoire.
