 | 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!! |
 | Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces [Read More ...]
What a deal:You get Mozart's best works in 2 CD. The sound is flawless to the common ear. Get it! if you love Mozart |
 | 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... |
 | The Very Best of Maria Callas [Read More ...]
Review: Now I understand!:I grew up on opera but not on Maria Callas. Joan Sutherland, Schwartzkoff, Victoria Los Angeles, and Mady Mesple (to name a few) crowded the airwaves of our home growing up. I had heard that Maria Callas was THE Diva of opera and bought one of her obscure record... |
 | 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, ... |
 | Puccini: Madama Butterfly (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Lucia Danieli, Nicolai Gedda, Herbert von Karajan, Chorus & Orchestra of La Scala, Milan [Read More ...]
Review: Medea as a Butterfly:While working on the PARALLEL PERSPECTIVES Archives page, I started thinking about Maria Callas & her rather bizarre, non-singing role in the equally bizarre 1970's Pier Passolini film MEDEA--and noticed this CD of Puccini's MADAMA BUTTERFLY. I must admit tha... |
 | 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. |
 | 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... |
 | Dvorák: Symphonie No. 9; Smetana: Moldau [Read More ...]
Review: Karajan lovingly shapes his third "New World":I hear something special in Karajan's late recordings with the Vienna Phil., an orchestra that brought out the most affectionate detail and sunniest mood in him. Besides this "New World," his third in the modern era, there's an inspir... |
 | 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... |
