 | 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... |
 | 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 #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... |

Beautiful Music:Christmas Adagios
Two record set which gives me all the best in Christmas music. |
 | 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, ... |
 | Christmas Album: Original Masters [Read More ...]
Review: Great Music, but slower than I imagined:The CD was great. The quality is wonderful and the songs selected for the album are all the best German classics. However, the songs are very slow so the album does better as background music rather than something you can sing along with ar... |
 | 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 ... |
 | Twilight of the Gods: The Essential Wagner Collection [Read More ...]
Description: If you like your Wagner served up in bleeding chunks or if you're simply in a hurry to hear the tunes, then this compilation is for you. The performances, drawn from the Polygram (mainly Deutsche Grammophon) back catalog, are for the most part authoritative. They feature the like... |
 | Wagner: The "Ring" Without Words [Read More ...]
Review: A disappointment:Being a Wagnerite is sometimes a little difficult. Wagner's music is demanding on practically all levels, and especially demanding to the casual listener. The music can sometimes be too sugary, way overblown, or deceptively muted. This can definitely present p... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | Grieg: Peer Gynt Suites/ Holberg Suite [Read More ...]
Review: Great music:I first heard this piece in the movie "Soylent Green", in the scene where Edward G. Robinson's character goes to the euthanasia center, and only recently discovered the title of the piece. If morning had a theme song, the first movement of this piece, "Morning Mood", ... |
 | The Best Opera Album in the World...Ever! [Read More ...]
The Best Opera Album in the World...Ever - Cayman:This Cd is the best compliment to a set than choice part of the opera. Also debit say than the seller Cayman is swell to. Thank you. |
 | Strauss: Four Last Songs / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra [Read More ...]
Description: Gundula Janowitz had a very beautiful voice that critics like to describe as "creamy," whatever that means. Strauss had a life-long love affair with the soprano voice. He even married one--not just the voice, the whole woman, of course. His Four Last Songs constitute his dying tr... |
 | 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... |

 | 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... |
