Prima Voce - Dame Clara Butt (1872 - 1936)
Prima Voce has assembled some truly remarkable examples of Clara Butt’s art and even at first hearing the listener will be struck by the vocal presence and personality behind each recording. The deliberate but completely unforced exploitation of those extraordinary and smoothly blended cello-like bottom notes in her lower and middle registers was beautifully managed throughout her career, but they do evoke different reactions from some modern commentators on vocal-art.

Three Legendary Tenors in Opera and Song
Long before Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras caught the public imagination with their top Cs and Nessun Dormas there were three legendary tenors who became household names in their own life-time. This collection of some of their finest arias and songs shows why these three legendary tenors became singing superstars and why they have inspired and influenced succeeding generations of singers throughout the world.
