 | 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 - 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 ... |
 | Sacred Classics - Messiah, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Zadok the Priest, L'enfance du Christ [Read More ...]
Review: A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works:This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pi... |
 | 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 #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 ... |
 | 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... |
 | Jewel Song ~ 20 Great Soprano Arias / Crespin, Freni, Te Kanawa, Sutherland, Jo, Tebaldi, Cotrubas, Caballé, Cerquetti... [Read More ...]
Jewel Song 20 Great Soprano Arias:Recording quality excellent
A must for the soprano voice lover |
 | The Complete Gilbert & Sullivan (Box Set) [Read More ...]
Review: The Crowning Achievement of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company preserved in all but perfection:This review details the performances more than the content of the operas. Another reviewer speaks more about the different operas themselves, and I agree with what he says for the most par... |
 | Handel: Messiah / Harwood, J. Baker, Esswood, Tear, Herincx; Mackerras [Read More ...]
Excellent performance:This recording, done decades ago, remains the best performance of Handel's Messiah I have ever heard. The voices are beautiful, the orchestration modest and not overblown.

 | Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy: My Favorite Puccini [Read More ...]
Review: I play this everyday:This CD has taken up permanent residence in both of my cars. It is a compilation of the best, most stirring opera in the world. The voices here are truly gifts from God. Please take the time to enjoy Puccini rendered by masters. Still gives me goose-bumps an... |
 | Gilbert & Sullivan: The Yeoman of the Guard & Trial by Jury [Read More ...]
Review: Two operas performed with no weak link in the casts - and certainly not Reed!:The Yeomen of the Guard competes closely with Princess Ida as being the most operatic of Gilbert and Sullivan's works. Although the three most popular G&S operas are HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzan... |
 | 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. |
 | Gilbert & Sullivan - Operettas / Pro Arte Orchestra · Sir Malcolm Sargent [Read More ...]
Description: The advent of stereo brought forth two competing Gilbert and Sullivan cycles that retain their classic status in divergent ways. Seasoned Savoyards lean towards Decca's D'Oyly Carte recordings, where the use of singing actors and inclusion of dialogue add up to a palpable theatri... |
 | 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. |
 | Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy: My Favorite Opera for Everyone [Read More ...]
Description: This collection is chock full of some of opera's juiciest moments, sung by some of opera's greatest voices. Many are familiar whether you know their names: The elegant Barcarolle from Les Contes d'Hoffmann, the lazy, hazy soprano-mezzo "flower" duet from Lakme, the boastful "La d... |
 | Gilbert & Sullivan: The Mikado (Complete); Iolanthe (Highlights) [Read More ...]
Review: Finally, a Top Mikado!:Not everyone would agree (as is always the case), but I believe I have struck gold with this 1962 Mikado.
Having listened to the 1973 D'Oyly Carte, 1991 Mackerras, and 1957 Sargent versions, I found this one to be most rewarding of all. In each of the oth... |
 | Gilbert & Sullivan: Princess Ida [Read More ...]
Review: Not as Bad as Many Claim:If Decca had left Princess Ida without a filler, I may have given it four stars, but on account of the fabulous filler, Pineapple Poll, this is definitely a five star product.
Generally, the biggest complaint about this performance is Sargent's slow te... |
