 | Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour) [Read More ...]
Description: Anyone discovering this album who had never heard or heard of Luciano Pavarotti would immediately recognize greatness, a one-of-a-kind, one-per-generation (maybe) talent and personality that commands attention, respect, and yes, even love. These 35 selections are an astonishing a... |
 | 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... |
 | The Most Famous Opera Duets [Read More ...]
Description: This is a misnomer--not all of these duets are all that famous--but it's a fine compilation nonetheless. You'll hear selections from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers (Nicolai Gedda and Ernest Blanc at their most elegant French), Madama Butterfly (Carlo Bergonzi and Renata Scotto--an imp... |
 | Christmas Adagios [Read More ...]
Christmas Adagios:This is the BEST Christmas collection that I have ever heard. I would like
to purchase 15 more to give as gifts this year; however, it appears that
Decca is out of stock or no longer releasing it. HELP!! |
 | Puccini - La Bohème / Freni, Pavarotti, Harwood, Ghiaurov, Karajan [Read More ...]
Description: The score for La Bohème comes to glowing life under Herbert von Karajan's baton, and Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti make beautiful music together as the ill-fated lovers. The smaller parts are wonderfully sung, the comedy sharply profiled, and the pathos contained in such a... |
 | Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra [Read More ...]
Description: This performance is also available on Deutsche Grammophon in an earlier, mid-price incarnation, but this version is clearly the one to own, since the remastered sound is a definite improvement over previous issues. Herbert von Karajan always did a good job with this symphony, ... |
 | 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 Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II [Read More ...]
The Most RElaxing Classical Albumn, Vol II.:The selections chosen are, for the most part, to my taste, but the volume is comprised of fewer supurb selections, such as those masterpieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart that were found in Vol. I. |
 | Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments [Read More ...]
Review: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Indeed:I have more experience with other genres of music, but am interested in basically all kinds. I have been collecting CDs for nearly 2 decades but had no Opera in my collection. I did a little research and arrived at a conclusion. If I wanted... |
 | Christmas Album: Original Masters [Read More ...]
Review: Classic Christmas / holiday performances:This set is a truly amazing find! Vintage 1950's and 1960's German performances of Christmas and traditional holiday music. This contains an awesome range of artists, from Maria Stader, Fritz Wunderlich and Herman Prey, Gundula Janowitz,... |
 | Puccini - La Bohème / Freni, Pavarotti, Harwood, Berlin Phil., Karajan [Highlights] [Read More ...]
Description: These excerpts were taken from the recording that has established itself as the standard by which all others should be measured. Herbert von Karajan's orchestra is no less than perfect, as much a virtuosic performer as the singers, evoking each moment's unique mood. Can there be ... |
 | 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... |
 | Amore: Romantic Italian Love Songs [Read More ...]
Description: From Calaf's "Nessun dorma" from Turandot, in which the singer exclaims his love for the ice princess and the victory he will have over her, through Lionel's realization that he will have a new life and be happy with Lady Harriet in Martha ("M'appari"), and on to Rodolfo's fallin... |
 | 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... |
 | The Best Opera Album in the World...Ever! [Read More ...]
Review: Best Opera....:I'm not opera literate, so I was looking for some kind of introduction that had some familiar arias and that would connect me to others that I had not heard. I liked that the notes with the cd indicated where a new listener may have heard some of the music (in a co... |
 | Grieg: Peer Gynt Suites/ Holberg Suite [Read More ...]
Review: Great music:I first heard this piece in the movie "Soylent Green", in the scene where Edward G. Robinson's character goes to the euthanasia center, and only recently discovered the title of the piece. If morning had a theme song, the first movement of this piece, "Morning Mood", ... |
 | Strauss: Four Last Songs / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra [Read More ...]
Description: Gundula Janowitz had a very beautiful voice that critics like to describe as "creamy," whatever that means. Strauss had a life-long love affair with the soprano voice. He even married one--not just the voice, the whole woman, of course. His Four Last Songs constitute his dying tr... |
 | Beethoven - Triple Concerto ~ Choral Fantasy / Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Berliner Phil., Barenboim [Read More ...]
Review: No prescription needed -- now:After a horrendously exhausting day, I listened tonight to this recording, and found myself applauding at the end -- and then astonished that there was also applause on the CD! I had not realized it was a live recording. In the meantime, this care-... |
 | #1 Christmas Album [Read More ...]
Review: THE BEST!!!:I am the proud owner of at least thirty Christmas CD's. This compilation is the best collection of quality music performed superbly that I have ever heard. I had to drive 1400 miles by myself before Christmas and I never tired of listening to this wonderful music. ... |
 | Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music [Read More ...]
Review: This box selection is enjoyable:Cheers to those with drive to attain "real" music student status. However, I just want to listen to music passages I have found enjoyable over the years. There is no pretense of this selection being a student workbook of classical music for the s... |
