 | 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... |
 | Sogno [Read More ...]
Description: Andrea Bocelli's Sogno ("Dream") is a pop album of entirely original compositions that evoke traditional and modern influences. Bocelli himself describes the CD as secular Italian traditional melodic music with a contemporary twist. The album's 14 tracks include "The Prayer," a B... |
 | 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... |
 | Rossini - La Cenerentola / Bartoli, Dara, Matteuzzi, Corbelli, Pertusi, Chailly [Read More ...]
Description: We live in a golden age for Rossini singing, and this recording offers considerable proof of it. Although she occasionally strays into overdone vocal mannerisms, Cecilia Bartoli is a fetching Cenerentola with the right combination of pathos and triumph. William Matteuzzi offers... |
 | The Ultimate Divas Album [Read More ...]
Review: a voice teacher and early music fan:SEVENTEEN DIVINE DIVAS IN FAVORITE ROLES.
"Qualifications for divahood may be elusive, but there is little doubt that the 17 artists featured in this collection eminently qualify." George Jeffries. To which I heartily agree!!!!! The term 'diva... |
 | Cecilia Bartoli - A Portrait [Read More ...]
Review: Bartoli Is Superb, Effusive and Vivacious!:The greatness in art lies in its flexibility and Bartoli exemplifies this greatness in everything she sings! Bartoli reveals different things at different times. In the world of opera Bartoli stands at the summit of achievement, her work... |
 | The #1 Soprano Album [Read More ...]
Review: Gruberova's Extraordinary "Mein Herr Marquis", Sumi Jo's winning "Der hölle Rache":I bought that 2-CD set only for the extraordinary performance of Adele's "Laughing Song" ("Mein Herr Marquis") by Edita Gruberova. It is highly surprising (and inexcusable IMO) that a great label ... |
 | Essential Puccini [Read More ...]
Review: glorious singing of puccini's greatest 'hits':This compilation is a great introduction to puccini's music, It has all of puccini's most popular numbers and
the singers are some of the greatest opera stars of the
20th century. Just look at the ... |
 | Pavarotti: Greatest Hits [Read More ...]

Essential for Opera lovers:This CD shows the highest performances made ever by number one artists.Obliged to have home |
 | Rossini - Il Turco in Italia / Bartoli, Corbelli, Pertusi, Vargas, Teatro alla Scala, Chailly [Read More ...]
Description: This Pirandello-like, 1814 comedy of manners has long lived in the shadow of Rossini's better-known L'Italiana in Algeri, but this recording, more than either of its predecessors, allows it to bloom in all its ironic loveliness. Cecilia Bartoli, a born comedian, sings expressivel... |
 | 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... |
 | Puccini Gala: Famous Arias / Caballé, Carreras, et al [Read More ...]
Wonderful cd:If you love Puccini's operas, you'll love this cd. Good choice of performers and of arias. My only complaint, it's a small one, is that I think Franco Corelli's Nessun dorma is better. However, this one is good too. |
 | Essential Opera [Read More ...]
Cool CD:This is a very enjoyable CD with music you already know.
Can't wait to get the other ones!
|
 | Midnight Adagios [Read More ...]
Review: Enjoyable - but not beddy-bye music:"Midnight Adagios" advertises itself as featuring "over two-and-a-half hours of the world's most relaxing music" and while it is beautiful music it is not particularly relaxing. The dynamic changes from track to track--something I find in all ... |
 | Super Estrellas de la Opera - Super Stars of Opera (2 CDs) [Read More ...]
Review: Fantastic, A +, gold star:Wow. In the last year I have transformed into an opera Maniac with the help of the cd. It's got all the greats - Pavarotti, Fleming, more Pavarotti - as well as the other greats - Puccini, Mozart, Verdi - compiled to produce the single most inclusive 2... |
 | Rossini - Cantatas Volume 2 / Bartoli, Flórez, Kelly, Scano, Barcellona; Chailly [Read More ...]
Description: Here are two of Rossini's "secular" cantatas: "The Lament of Harmony on the Death of Orpheus" for tenor, male chorus, and orchestra, written when he was a 16-year-old conservatory student, and the far more substantial "Wedding of Thetis and Peleus," one of many such pieces he c... |
 | Art of Cecilia Bartoli (Dig) [Read More ...]
Review: Wonderful:This is a fabulous album!!! Her arias by Handel, Gluck, Mozart, and Rossini are unbelievable. Her and Bryn Terfel sound great together, especially on the "Dun'que io son" from Il Barbiere di Siviglia. The Handel duet from Rinaldo, featuring the acclaimed countertenor ... |
 | La Boheme - Dream Cast (Highlights) [Read More ...]
Review: The horror, the horror!:This CD is a fine example of soulless marketing, bleeding hunks variety.
For those of you who like opera, get a real opera. Good performances of "La boheme" are easy to find. For those of you who like a particular singer or conductor, seek out that pe... |
