 | 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... |
 | 100 Best Opera Classics [Read More ...]
Review: Bravo!:What can one say but "Bravo!" to EMI's 6-CD box set "100 BEST OPERA CLASSICS." The title says it all.

 | Mozart: Requiem [Read More ...]
Description: Between 1961 and 1986, Herbert von Karajan made three recordings of the Mozart Requiem for Deutsche Grammophon, with little change in his conception of the piece over the years. This recording, from 1975, is, on balance, the best of them. The approach is Romantic, broad, and sust... |
 | Carmen / Troyanos, Domingo, van Dam, Te Kanawa; Sir Georg Solti [Read More ...]
Description: Tatiana Troyanos was reportedly never comfortable on stage as Carmen, but she sings it ravishingly well in this recording, in good voice and at home with the character. Placido Domingo, seemingly the only Don José of our era, gives one of his best accounts of the role; Dame Ki... |
 | Delibes - Lakmé / Dessay, Kunde, van Dam, Petibon, Haidan, Konsek, Leguérinel, Plasson [Read More ...]
Description: For all its exotically tinged, trademark Orientalism, so fashionable in late-19th-century France, Delibe's opera Lakmé is at heart a simple story of tragically misplaced love. This marvelous and sensitively wrought interpretation renders the intensity of that love story with a s... |

Review: Amazing timeless collection, with just one flaw....:As mentioned this is a great collection for anyone who wants to introduce themselves to the classical genre. I purchased this collection for the sheer amount of Mozart available, but I would say there is one flaw.

 | Puccini - Il Trittico / Alagna, Gheorghiu, Guelfi, Guleghina, Gallardo-Domás, Manca di Nissa, Palmer, Shicoff, van Dam, LSO, PO, Pappano [Read More ...]
Description: Aficionados are familiar with Puccini's Il Trittico or "Triptych," his three one-act operas that premiered at New York's Metropolitan in 1918; everyday opera lovers should know them as well. Here is Puccini at his most imaginative: Il Tabarro, a shocker about the jealousy of an o... |
 | Sacred Classics - Messiah, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Zadok the Priest, L'enfance du Christ [Read More ...]
Review: A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works:This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pi... |

Review: Anyone who enjoys opera should buy this set:What could be better than a budget-priced collection containing recordings by one of the greatest singers of our time captured (mostly) in her prime (the "Forza" excepts were done a little late) in most of her signature roles?!?!?!?!? ... |

 | Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem Op.45 [Read More ...]
Description: What could be wrong with this disc--Brahms' beloved Requiem, interpreted by Herbert von Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic, sung by José van Dam and Barbara Hendricks? Nothing. Karajan here rejects idiosyncrasies and histrionics, in favor of a straightforward, impeccably balanc... |
