Not being an avid listener of classical music in general, I generally find it tough to find classical music I really like. The entire Peer Gynt suite I love very much though, with a particular fondness of Solveig's Song (the versions sang by Anna Netrebko or Lucia Popp in especially).

Now I usually try to take it upon myself to find similar music to music I like. However in this case this has proven to be particular hard.

Would anyone know of any songs that have the mellow vocals and same kind of quality to them? A lot of thanks in advance:).

    I didn't know that. May I ask, what purpose does the similar artists tag serve if not for recommendations?

  • @BCdotWEB, one of most upvoted questions here is a recommendation question (and from a mod): musicfans.stackexchange.com/questions/649/…. I think OP added enough details for the question not being too broad.

  • Thank you very much, those are three very nice songs indeed. I like "O Mio Babbino Caro" in particular.
