Praise for Salvatore Licitra & Il Trovatore
"Mr. Licitra boasts a lovely tone... the sound half way between... Placido Domingo and the...brilliance of yesteryear's Giovanni Martinelli....This may be the best-conducted Il Trovatore ever... a must for those who want to know what's happening in the world of Italian opera." -- Dallas Morning News, January 2002
Pick up this highly acclaimed album today!

Review of LA Variations -- Esa-Pekka Salonen
"His new anthology of orchestral works is so good, you wonder whether he should compose full time... The only predictable element here is Salonen's conducting -- it's exemplary." -- Sunday Times
(Central Contra Costa), December 2001
