Domingo De Mi alma Latina
http://www.allmusic.com/album/de-mi-alma-latina-mw0000121451 3

De Mi Alma Latina (also known as From My Latin Soul) is a 1994 Latin music album by Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album of the year. Most of the tracks on the album are medleys of, in the words of one author, "some of the Latino world's most memorable melodies." The only new composition on the album, "De México a Buenos Aires", was written by Domingo's son Plácido Domingo Jr. All the songs are in Spanish, except for "Manhã de Carnaval" and "Aquarela do Brasil", which are in Portuguese. Domingo also used "De Mi Alma Latina" and "From My Latin Soul" as the names for some of his subsequent Latin music concerts. In 1997, he released a follow-up album entitled De Mi Alma Latina 2.

Background
Both Angel Records and EMI Latin worked together on the album. The president of EMI Latin explained that both labels were trying to "reach every possible Placido fan out there, be it Latino or opera." In addition to the audio recording, Domingo starred in a music video of one of the songs on the album, the Peruvian classic "La Flor de la Canela", with Columbian actress Amparo Grisales.

Reception
The reviewer for The Washington Post praised the album as in some ways "the most satisfying record Domingo has made." After stating that numerous good recordings of operas exist, he elaborated: "But you don't find much when you start looking (as I have) for a recording of 'Aquellos ojos verdes' or 'Solamente una vez' sung with a voice of Domingo's caliber and an instinct for the proper style." He also called Domingo "versatile as any musician in living memory" in part for the variety of recordings he had out at the time, including De Mi Alma Latina, the opera Parsifal, the classical symphonic album, Placido Domingo Sings and Conducts Tchaikovsky, and re-issues of Placido Domingo: Opera Classics and Verdi and Puccini Duets (with Leontyne Price).

In January 1995, the recording's Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album was the first ever received by the classical music label, Angel Records. At the time of the album's nomination, Billboard Magazine called De Mi Alma Latina underrated and predicted that Domingo might beat frontrunner and eventual winner Luis Miguel.

Wagner, Love Duets
http://www.allmusic.com/album/wagner-love-duets-mw0001825002 4.5

-First concert version ending, Tristan duet

Wagner: Love Duets is a recording of excerpts from the operas Siegfried and Tristan und Isolde performed by Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo and American soprano Deborah Voigt. It is the first recording of composer Richard Wagner's concert version of Tristan and Isolde's Act 2 love duet. The album received mostly enthusiastic reviews from the critics.

Background
In the 1990s, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim discovered an unperformed concert version ending to the love duet from Tristan und Isolde. It begins later in the scene than in the opera, starting with the passage, "O sink hernieder, Nacht der Liebe". Instead of the abrupt ending of the duet in the opera, the alternative version finishes with an orchestral passage.

In numerous interviews, Domingo had expressed the desire to sing the role of Tristan, but eventually decided to forego the challenging role onstage. This album constituted his first recording of music from the part, which he later recorded in whole in 200?.

Reception
The reviewer for the Los Angeles Times considered the recording "extraordinary" and the two duets "psycho-sexual mini-dramas of seduction, ravishment, indecision and finally ecstasy." He also praised the soloists and Pappano.

Some reviewers criticized her dramatic interpretation and perceived detachment.
