 | Puccini: La Bohème [Read More ...]
Review: Bjoerling!:I bought this to get a fresh version of the first opera LP in my collection. A teacher recommended this version back then, and I now realize the peerless quality of the production, the singers, and especially Bjoerling. If he exists in finer voice AND audio quality on ... |

 | Fritz Wunderlich: Great German Tenor [Read More ...]
Review: Too bad we don't have the option of 10 stars....:I just finished again listening to this CD that I've had for maybe fifteen years. I most often prefer complete operas, but of course those are not always available. For me, Fritz Wunderlich can do not wrong, although a very knowled... |

 | Opera for People Who Hate Opera [Read More ...]
Review: Painless and Pleasant:It's not that I hate opera, it's rather that I cannot handle and entire opera without nodding off. This 4 disc CD provides highlights from the most famous and recognizable arias, i.e., Pagliacci, Carmen, Rigoletto, Madame Butterfly, La Boheme, The Mikado... |

Review: Just add coffee.:I saw this CD set in a store and told my friend I would like to have it for my birthday. She bought it on the spot for me. I am so glad she did. I really wasn't a classical music fan, but I am now. I listen to this CD set while I am driving home from my job ... |

Review: Fabulous!:This is an amazing collection of arias from the early 1900s through the 1930s (there is one 1942 cut). The sound transfers, made from pristine 78 records, are excellent, especially considering the age of the recordings. This CD is a splendid overview of the outstandin... |
