 | The #1 Opera Album [Read More ...] Description: The labels that are now gathered under the Universal Classics umbrella have a pretty impressive scorecard in the area of classical compilations. We've seen The Greatest Opera Show on Earth, The Yellow Guide: Classical Music, Best of the Millennium, and now there's The No. 1 Opera... |
 | Nessun Dorma ~ 20 Great Tenor Arias / Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo, Bergonzi, Aragall, Björling, Di Stefano, Kollo, Corelli, Del Monaco... [Read More ...] Beautiful CD...:What beautiful music. I'm new to opera, but the tracks on this CD are awesome. My only complaint is that Nessun Dorma is the last tract...so I start out there first. |
 | The Ultimate Puccini Collection [Read More ...] Description: Ordinarily, it pays to be wary of collections such as these, which often promise a lot but deliver a mishmash of disconnected excerpts. This disc, however, is something of an exception: you really do get just about all of Puccini's best arias, which is possible, because he didn't... |
 | Essential Verdi - 40 of His Greatest Masterpieces (2 CD Set) [Read More ...] Review: OKAY, TAKE ME AWAY.:I don't know opera.
Last summer we had an incredible 20th anniversary trip to Italy. As a side trip from Venice, we planned a night in Verona. Neither my wife or I had been to an opera.
Is this how its supposed to be...
...an incredible star filled night w... |
 | Puccini - The Great Opera Collection [Read More ...] Description: Celebrating the composer's 150th Anniversary in 2008, this is a 15-CD definitive collection of his most popular operas in classic performances! Decca's recordings of Puccini's operas rank among the very finest ever committed to disc. This legacy was started in 1951 when Renata Te... |

|
 | The Greatest Opera Show on Earth [Read More ...] Description: This really is a remarkable collection, and anyone even remotely interested in opera is bound to be vastly entertained by it. Almost everything and everyone is here, albeit in small doses: Tebaldi, Pavarotti (a lot), Bjoerling, Bartoli, Sutherland, Solti, Karajan, Troyanos, Gheor... |
 | The Very Best of Giuseppe di Stefano [Read More ...] Review: Not Bad, Not Great:For the most part this recording is fair. The Neapolitan songs are very well done and some of the arias from French opera were very nice. The big disappointment is Nessun Dorma from Turandot. In this aria Di Stefano is horribly flat on the penultimate high note... |
 | The #1 Tenor Album [Read More ...] Essential for Opera lovers:This CD shows the highest performances made ever by number one artists.Obliged to have home |
 | The Best of Tebaldi [Read More ...] Review: Resurrection of an Old LP Compilation : I bought this compilation on a London LP back in the seventies. I listened to it until I wore it out. They wisely began the disc with probably the best recording she ever made, that of Si, mi chiamano Mimi, from La Boheme. The singing o... |
![]() | Prima Voce: Hilde Güden [Read More ...] Description: "On the singing side, the performance offered several newsworthy items, chief among them being the new Gilda--a Viennese girl named Hilde Güden who was lovely to look at and lovelier to listen to. The voice blossomed into a rich flower, every note in its place like a petal--a vo... |
 | Puccini: La Bohème (Tebaldi, Prandelli, Erede) [Read More ...] Review: EREDE ES UN CRACK:Bohème de absoluta referencia. Sonido magnífico. Estupendos cantantes: Quizá los haya más dotados (con excepción, claro está, de la Tebaldi) pero no más convincentes. La batuta, soberbia, excelente acompañante de las voces. Una versión arquetípica, sin... |
 | Essential Puccini [Read More ...] Review: glorious singing of puccini's greatest 'hits':This compilation is a great introduction to puccini's music, It has all of puccini's most popular numbers and
the singers are some of the greatest opera stars of the
20th century. Just look at the ... |
 | Joan Sutherland: Songs from Mozart, Bellini, Haydn, Handel, Donizetti [Read More ...] Review: The real Sutherland:This is Joan Sutherland in her prime. Which is actually only 10 years. She was fantastic for about 30 years, but the years 1956-1966 are her absolute prime. This cd covers her earliest years. They say that this is the best "Marten alle arten" ever recorded. I ... |
 | Classical Destinations: An Armchair Guide to Classical Music [Read More ...] Review: Back Again on Create TV: Classical Destinations:
This 2 disc set contains audio selections from the popular
TV series, new appearing on PBS Digital Channel 3 (Create TV).
The series opens with an original violin concert piece composed
by Paul Terracini, played by Niki Vasilaki... |

 | Super Estrellas de la Opera - Super Stars of Opera (2 CDs) [Read More ...] Review: Fantastic, A +, gold star:Wow. In the last year I have transformed into an opera Maniac with the help of the cd. It's got all the greats - Pavarotti, Fleming, more Pavarotti - as well as the other greats - Puccini, Mozart, Verdi - compiled to produce the single most inclusive 2... |
 | Antonietta Stella sings operatic arias by Verdi & Puccini [Read More ...] Review: Impressive singing by a wonderful spinto:Antonietta Stella was a wonderful soprano with a large, full spinto voice, a voice type that is quite rare on today's opera stages. During her short time with the Met, she was overshadowed by Tebaldi, Milanov, and Callas. In retrospect, ... |
 | Grandi Voci: Renata Tebaldi [Read More ...] Tebaldi has the bigger voice:
Yes, if you got Tebaldi in her vocal prime and Callas in her vocal prime to sing together on stage, the Italian would blow away the Greek with her enormous volume.
|
 | Puccini Weekend [Read More ...] my favorite classical CD:I love this fine selection of Puccini's best loved arias. The peroformances are all great especially Felicia Weathers as Madam Butterfly. I play this CD a lot and have never tired of it. | Page1 Page2 Page3 Page4 Page5 Page6 Page7 Page8 Page9 Page10
