 | Viaggio Italiano / Andrea Bocelli [Read More ...]
Description: Opera is in fashion, and the woods are full of pop vocalists who think they have the chops to sing arias. The best contender so far is Andrea Bocelli, who at least has a real voice, if a small one, and sometimes manages a really exciting tenor sound. Unfortunately, he is inconsis... |

Review: Mario Lanza, the man who sang with his soul:This is an extraordinary CD. Mario Lanza is at his best, with some of the most stunning interpretations in opera: the two André Chenier arias, the superb Otello with Licia Albanese and the Butterfly with Elaine Malbin !

 | The Classical Nana [Read More ...]
Review: Surprised:I am an opera fan and normally detest the sound of non-opera singers trying out their pipes on Mozart, Verdi, Rossini, Puccini, etc. I bought this disc years ago and it's been collecting dust. But since breaking it out, I can't stop listening. Nana's voice doesn't have... |

 | Verdi: Rigoletto [Read More ...]
Review: A strong contender in a crowded field:"Rigoletto" has been well served on disc; you can go right back to the 1950 RCA Victor set with Leonard Warren, or the 1954 Cetra set with Taddei (see my review) and be very satisfied both with the sound and the superlative performances. I do... |

 | Michael Amante [Read More ...]
Description: Alongside the three tenor posses, the dashing Michael Amante is poised to make opera palatable to the mainstream. Amante is bold enough to take on scores from Tosca, La Bohème, Turandot, and Aida, and he postures himself a swell prince on his self-titled debut. Possessed of a po... |
 | John McCormack: In Opera [Read More ...]
Review: A voice that touches the heart:After hearing this recording, I simply cannot understand the perception, shared even by Gerald Moore, that McCormack was less than comfortable in Grand Opera. Was he then merely a brilliant purveyor of popular Irish songs and ballads? On the evidenc... |

 | Violetta: Arias and Duets from Verdi's "La Traviata" [Read More ...]
Review: Glorious:This is what I wrote when I reviewed the full length opera. The same holds true for this abridgement of the opera's arias and duets. "I have no idea what the detractors of this amazing recording were listening to. Can it be that some people just cannot sit back, close th... |
