Jochen Kowlaski; Peter Schreier; Alfredo Kraus; Ramon Vargas; Hermann Prey; Anne Schwanewilms; Kammerorchester Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach; Konrad Ragossnig; Cecilia Bartoli; Michele Pertusi; Sumi Jo; D - Vocal Soloists for Capriccio's 40 Year Anniversary

The first three collections celebrating the Capriccio label�s 40th anniversary focused respectively on sacred, orchestral and chamber/solo music. This fourth and final Anniversary Box Set features singing stars from the label�s history. For example, there�s that pioneer of �counter-tenorism�, Jochen Kowalski. We also hear unexpected works from icons such as Peter Schreier (with lute accompaniment) and Hermann Prey (singing operetta), Italian fare from Alfredo Kraus and Ram�n Vargas, and Cecilia Bartoli � discovered and first recorded by Capriccio � in her first and presumably only Wagner role! There are also the opera rarities that helped Capriccio establish a name for itself, with casts that would have turned heads even in the finest opera houses.
