Is that this newer version? Or is it the version with the yellow background that came out a few years ago? The yellow ones clearly advertise the presence of the CD-Rom. This "Home of Opera" version doesn't.

Not that it matters. It's cheap enough on the Presto sale that I might just order Capriccio and see what happens. That's a helluva cast.

One the JPC site it's this version the green colour.

Nice. That's the kind of info I was looking to discover.

Nonesuch is currently running a 50% off John Adams sale for his birthday.

They have released a large catalog of his music including Nixon in China on both CD (Edo de Waart) and DVD (from the Met), recordings of The Death of Klinghoffer, I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, El Niño, and A Flowering Tree, as well as plenty of non-opera/oratorio-related works.

Thank you!

Welcome to TalkClassical, as far as I recall only Dynamic recorded this piece once in Brussels.
That's as far as I can help, sorry.

The La Gazzetta on Drnamic is EXCELLENT!!!!! It includes newly discovered music that is missing from the Rossini Opera Festival DVD from a few years ago. Also the spurious arias for Doralice and Madama La Rosa are cut that somehow got added to the score. I'm not sure if Rossini approved or had anything to do with their addition. Though they are attractive pieces. So it's all authentic Rossini... plus the newly discovered quintetto is alone worth the price of admission FIVE STARS!!!! The attractive production is updated, but it works! Good picture and sound! Highly recommended and reminds me that I need to give it a watch!

I just visited the site. I am highly impressed with the sound quality of everything I sampled there. Great deals on the half off sale too. Sadly, Dinorah is out of stock, but there are many other great operas in stock at great sale prices.

I'm finishing my Jenůfa challenge and I'm really eager to buy a recording even if I shouldn't do it yet.

Why?

Because it's not Mackerras!

And that would not be normal in opera lovers since I still don't own any Mozart or R. Strauss recording. Why Janáček first?

After Aida, I'll do a challenge of Borodin's Prince Igor and Mussorsky's Boris Godunov.

I can't find any streaming place for the Emil Tchakarov Boris Godunov. Do you know where?
