 | 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 - 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 ... |
 | The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II [Read More ...] The Most RElaxing Classical Albumn, Vol II.:The selections chosen are, for the most part, to my taste, but the volume is comprised of fewer supurb selections, such as those masterpieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart that were found in Vol. I. |
 | 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... |
 | Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy-My Favourite Opera For Children [Read More ...] Opera for Children:This is an excellent CD to introduce children to some of the more familiar operas. I would highly recommend this CD for children and also for adults who want to become familiar with opera. |
 | Donizetti - La Fille du Régiment / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Malas, Sinclair, ROH Covent Garden, Bonynge [Read More ...] Description: This opera, about an orphan girl who is adopted by a whole regiment of Napoleon's army (meaning that anyone who wants to marry her must get the regiment's consent) combines sparkling comedy with spectacular vocal writing--not only for the soprano but for the tenor who, in one... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | An Introduction to Der Ring des Nibelungen [Read More ...] Description: When Wagner set the Ring to music, he intended the orchestra to act in the fashion of a chorus from a classic Greek tragedy--setting the mood and commenting on the action. In order to allow a nonverbal musical line to reflect on the plot, Wagner developed a psychologically and mu... |
 | Verdi - Rigoletto / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Milnes, LSO, Bonynge [Read More ...] Description: This Rigoletto has been around for so long it might be easy to take it for granted or skip it for a newer set. Don't! It features all three principals in superb voice, as well as pacing from Maestro Bonynge that is much heavier on drama than most of us expect from him. Sutherla... |
 | #1 Christmas Album [Read More ...] Review: THE BEST!!!:I am the proud owner of at least thirty Christmas CD's. This compilation is the best collection of quality music performed superbly that I have ever heard. I had to drive 1400 miles by myself before Christmas and I never tired of listening to this wonderful music. ... |
 | Essential Beethoven [Read More ...] Review: not the best:i went searching for a Beethoven CD because i was lucky enough to find this wonderful Mozart one. But this Beethoven CD doesnt have the best performances. The most popular pieces are apparently played by beginners because the notes sound disjointed, as if they aren... |
 | Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen (Ring Cycle) / Sir Georg Solti [Read More ...] Description: Modern storage media (CD/DVD) offer both high fidelity and great reliability in the playback of music. Yet only a bit more than a generation ago, the possibilities inherent in the long-playing record inspired John Culshaw, a young producer for Decca, to attempt the most ambitious... |
 | 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... |
 | Lucia Di Lammermoor [Read More ...] beautiful live recording:This is a wonderful Lucia recording. fyi, there is no libretto included. It is a complete 1975 recording and some bonus tracks from a 1959 recording of Joan Sutherland's Lucia. You won't be disappointed buying this recording! |
 | The Opera Album [Read More ...] Description: This is a remarkable collection: two and a half hours' worth of opera arias, duets, and a couple of choruses, and nary a dud among them. All the stars are here, from Alagna to Schwarzkopf, with stops at Gheorghiu, Callas, Bjoerling, Dessay, Gedda, Carreras, Popp, Domingo, Norma... |
 | Mozart: Don Giovanni [Read More ...] Review: The most overrated recording in history:With the multitude of Don Giovannis out there, one might be tempted to buy this one, seeing as to the fact that it has consistently been praised. While it is perhaps the best 'classic' recording out there other than the 1936 one with Busch... |
 | Verdi - La Traviata / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Manuguerra, NPO, Bonynge [Read More ...] Description: It's hard to resist such a starry cast, and Sutherland-Pavarotti fans will want this no matter what. Luciano's legions will find more to crow about, though, for he's in fine voice, creating an Alfredo to remember with his distinctive lyric tenor endowing the arias and even the re... |
 | Pavarotti: Greatest Hits [Read More ...] Great listening:I love this music. Great for long drives when stations fade in and out. Pavarotti's best!!! | Page1 Page2 Page3 Page4 Page5 Page6 Page7 Page8 Page9 Page10
