I started off looking for a good recording of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, my favourite Andrew Loyd Webber musical. A few track from the musical, and another also by Linzi Hateley (who sings the part of the narrator in the London Palladium cast), I moved on to that other staple of the musical genre (or, at least, my taste in musicals): Gilbert & Sullivan. After a few track from a number of renditions of The Pirates of Penzance (The Mastersingers track The Pirates of Penzance is particularly good, I’ll have to look at more of their music), I moved on to classical music proper.

I only wound up buying a couple of tracks from the album Enchantment by Charlotte Church (of whom I’ll have to buy more) and Ode II Joy (From Symphony No. 9) by OperaBabes (whom I’m also going to have to get more of).

For some reason, I’ve also been interested in Russian music lately — probably as an outgrowth of the interest in choral works — so I also bought Kalinka from the Alexandrov Red Army Choir.

If anyone has any suggestions of good music in similar vein to the above mentioned track and artists, please leave a comment so that I can chase them up!
