 | 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... |
 | Carreras · Domingo · Pavarotti: The Three Tenors in Concert / Mehta [Read More ...]
Description: Magic was created one starlit night in July 1990, when Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and José Carreras met onstage at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome and became the Three Tenors. They eschewed competitive instincts and cooperated in the spirit of mutual admiration to create... |

 | 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 ... |
 | Holst: The Planets [Read More ...]
Review: A must have!!:As a child, we had an lp with Sir Adrian Boult conducting. Nice. Then came Mehta's performance, on a particularly good vinyl issue. Some were pressed in Holland. This one was pressed in UK.
Anyway, I believe this put the LA Philharmonic on the map. Mars sets t... |
 | Mahler: Symphony No. 2 / Mehta, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra [Read More ...]
Description: "Beg to report safe delivery of a strong, healthy last movement to my Second. Father and child doing as well as can be expected." So ran Mahler's jubilant message on completion of his "Resurrection" Symphony, which after several years' painful gestation had come together in his m... |
 | The 3 Tenors in Concert 1994 [Read More ...]
Description: It's not opera; it's not a pop concert; it's not Broadway. It's all of these and none of them. Once you accept the fact that this sequel to the original blockbuster concert recording is less about music and more about entertainment and the power of musical personalities, you c... |
 | Orff: Carmina Burana [Read More ...]
20th Century Classic:An excellent rendition of a 20th century classical classic. A pure pleasure to sit and absorb, over and over again. The conducting is enthusiastic and precise as one might expect from Mehta, and the orchestra is as superb as one might expect as well. |
 | The Original Three Tenors Concert [DVD Video] [Read More ...]
Original best-selling concert of 1990 plus the `making of' program The Impossible Dream available for the first time. |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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. |
 | Beethoven: The 5 Piano Concertos; Choral Fantasy [Read More ...]
Review: excellent beethoven cycle:Emanuel Ax really understands the poetic heart of this music. He highlights the dark melancholy of beethoven's music without ever becoming sacharine or sentimental. However, those looking for a barn burnig version of these concertos would do well to loo... |
 | 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... |

 | The Only Classical CD You'll Ever Need! [Read More ...]
OMG! Think of the Money I Could Have Saved!:There's one horrible omission from this anthology of "Zerspoilerte Musik" however. How could they claim that this is "the only classical CD you'll ever need" without a single track of Glenn Gould playing Bach! |
 | 2007 New Year's Concert [Read More ...]
Review: Mehta brings the true Strauss tone back to Vienna:Since he trained with them as a young condcutor, one could call the Vienna Phil. one of Mehta's home orchestras. He shows real empathy for Strauss style, and I agree with the other reviewers who rate the 2007 New Year's concert as... |
