 | 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... |
 | Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta [Read More ...]
Description: Joan Sutherland is not usually considered a Puccini singer, and in fact she sang the role of Turandot only in the recording studio. But for that assignment she had exactly what was needed: a voice that seemed to have no upper limits and a personality that concealed vulnerability ... |
 | 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 ... |
 | Gounod: Faust (Complete Opera); Domingo, Freni, Ghiaurov, Allen, Pretre [Read More ...]
Review: Gounod: Faust (Complete Opera); Domingo, Freni, Ghiaurov, Allen, Pretre :Excelente en todo. Grandes intérpretes, gran orquesta y muy burns dirección.Aún habiendose grabado en 1979, el sonido es muy bueno. Gran presentación de la discográfica. Para mí, la mejor grabación d... |
 | Donizetti - Lucia di Lammermoor / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Milnes · Ghiaurov · ROH Covent Garden · Bonynge [Read More ...]
Description: This was Joan Sutherland's second recording of Lucia, made with an all-star cast in prime vocal condition, and it is a must for those who believe that bel canto opera should live up to its descriptive title: "beautiful singing." In the 10 years since her first Lucia recording, sh... |
 | Verdi - Aida / Caballé · Domingo · Cossotto · Ghiaurov · Cappuccilli · Roni · NPO · Muti [Read More ...]
Description: Behind the pyramids and the elephants, the long lines of prisoners of war and of slaves carrying booty, the choral shouts of "Glory to Egypt," and the splendid brass sounding the Triumphal March, Aida is the story of a love triangle: Aida, an Ethiopian princess who has become a s... |
 | Bellini - La Sonnambula / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Ghiaurov · NPO · Bonynge [Read More ...]
Description: Joan Sutherland, never noted for dramatic intensity, seemed more at home in roles that appealed to sentimentality rather than the tragic emotions of pity and fear. She still had that appeal and a voice in prime condition when this, her second Sonnambula, was recorded. Her appeali... |
 | The Essential Borodin [Read More ...]
Review: Excellent value:The audio, numbers, and performances of very good,
and the value outstanding, as you get almost everything
that Borodin, the composer, created in his career
on this dual release - more complete than the previous
DECCA version, as this one is expanded, of course.
... |
 | La Boheme [Read More ...]
Description: In celebration of Puccini's 150th birth anniversary, Decca is reissuing the definitive recording of La Bohème in a deluxe package. Featuring the luminous voices of Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti, under the expert direction of Herbert von Karajan who leads the Berlin Philhar... |

 | Verdi - Simon Boccanegra / Freni, Cappuccilli, Carreras, Ghiaurov, van Dam, Foiani, Teatro alla Scala, Abbado [Read More ...]
Review: Among the best, ever:As usual, Claudio Abbado brings to life opera (particularly Verdi): DG version of Simon Boccanegra is truly among the best achievements in opera recordings, with its central Grand Council scene shining like a crown daimond of a great composer and a great cond... |
 | Icon: Mirella Freni Sings Verdi, Puccini, Donizetti, Mozart, Gounod, Mascagni, Bellini, Bizet [Read More ...]
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?!?!?!?!? ... |
 | Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti - Puccini's Greatest Love Songs ~ Tu Tu Amore [Read More ...]

 | Verdi: Macbeth [Read More ...]
Review: The benchmark:Macbeth is my favorite opera. I have been listening to various performances of Verdi's Macbeth, both live and recorded, for over thirty years, and this recording is the best. Other recordings (I have 7 Macbeths) may have an equally strong Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Ba... |
 | Opera Obsession! - Opera d'Oro's Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Review: Excellent collections of arias:OperaD'Oro has issued a number of artistically excellent performances, however the technical quality is sometimes not up to today's standards. These (this CD is the first in a series of which there are currently 4 CDs) collections of excerts are of... |
 | Faust (Dig) [Read More ...]
Review: This leaves the competition standing:I have listened to many of the other catalogue recordings of this opera and this recording leaves them in it's shadow. The orchestral playing and conducting are a revelation. However, as the other reviewers have said the vocal talent is breath... |

 | Charles Gounod: Faust (Highlights) [Read More ...]
Review: 32 tracks in 10:The problem with this CD is that songs are not separate. They blended 32 tracks into 10. It's very hard to listen to when you want to get to your favorite aria. I wish they could've cut the songs properly. There exists a CD with Ghiaurov as Faust (other are Corell... |
