 | 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... |
 | 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 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... |
 | 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 ... |
 | Puccini: La Boheme (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, Anna Moffo, Antonino Votto, Chorus & Orchestra of La Scala, Milan [Read More ...]
Review: Callas Mimi a Revelation:Although I grew up with many of M.Callas recordings, it wasn't until very recently that I listened in full to her Mimi, a role she never sang onstage, unfortunately, and only learned for this recording. There are many really wonderful recordings and perf... |
 | Maria Callas 100 Best Classics [Read More ...]
Description: Best Callas 100 (part of the Best Classics 100 series) features 6 CDs of the best and most popular operatic arias and duets sung by legendary soprano Maria Callas from her EMI catalog of complete operas and recital albums. Each CD contains approx. 16-17 tracks. CD 1 The Opera... |
 | Amor--Opera's Great Love Songs [Read More ...]
Review: Amor--Opera;s Great Love Songs:I absolutely love opera music, and this c.d. is great for the most part. However, I am completely shocked that Maria Callas is nowhere to be found! In my opinion Callas' versions of Vissi D'arte, Vissi D'amore, L'Amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle, Oh! MI ... |
 | The Greatest Opera Show on Earth [Read More ...]
Description: This really is a remarkable collection, and anyone even remotely interested in opera is bound to be vastly entertained by it. Almost everything and everyone is here, albeit in small doses: Tebaldi, Pavarotti (a lot), Bjoerling, Bartoli, Sutherland, Solti, Karajan, Troyanos, Gheor... |
 | Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana & Leoncavallo: Pagliacci (complete operas) with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, Tito Gobbi, Tullio Serafin, Chorus & Orchestra of La Scala, Milan [Read More ...]
Review: No Libretto, It Matters:Somehow, Amazon doesn't think it matters whether or not an opera is sold with libretto. IT MATTERS.
These are two of the greatest examples of recorded opera today -no doubt about it - but how much more wonderful if we all knew what these casts were singin... |
 | Verdi: Il Trovatore (complete opera) EMI Great Recordings of the Century with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, Herbert von Karajan, Chorus & Orchestra of La Scala, Milan [Read More ...]
Review: IT'S GOOD, BUT IT'S GOT SOME STIFF COMPETITION: This "Trovatore" was recorded in 1956, and has enjoyed pretty much of a "clasic" status for a long time. Some of it is very, very good indeed. Herbert von Karajan performed this opera a lot (most famously, in Salzburg in 1962, ... |
 | Bellini: I Puritani [Read More ...]
Sounds good. Good remaster.:The sound quality is good, and since it's Maria Callas, i don't think she was capable of a bad performance, even near the end of her career. Nice 'picture-disc' type CD's. |
 | The Very Best of Beverly Sills [Read More ...]
Details TBA. EMI. 2005. |
 | Madama Butterfly [Read More ...]
Review: The Definitive Butterfly:There are a few recordings that I believe most opera lovers can agree on: the Beecham Boheme and the Callas Tosca stand at the top of the list. This Butterfly belongs in that group. There is not a weak link the entire recording. First and foremost, Bu... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | Puccini: Madam Butterfly [Read More ...]
Review: BREATHTAKING HIGBROW ROMANCE:Are there enough words in the English language to illustrate the brilliance of Puccini's Madam Butterfly? Showcased for the first time in the late 1900 it is an opera filled with immeasurable passion that satisfies all your senses. This CD is sung in... |
 | Puccini: Gianni Schicchi [Read More ...]
Review: Great Performance, HORRIBLE Format:This would easily have been a 4 or 5 star review, considering the performances on the disc are great. However, the CD is marred by one terrible fact--there are only 2 tracks! That's right, the first track is over 22 minutes long--meaning it en... |
 | Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti - Puccini's Greatest Love Songs ~ Tu Tu Amore [Read More ...]
Lift your spirit! Listen to superb music from the best!:I love this cd.. Its all about love. It is full of passionate music. Hope you love it too. |
 | Verdi: La Traviata / Sills, Gedda, Panerai; Ceccato [Read More ...]
