One of the Great Bargains
This is one of those rare bargains that one dreams about. I discovered it while browsing and I could not believe that one could have six disks for less than the normal cost of two. Nor is this an economy issue, transferred from what I assume is original pirate recordings along the lines of Gala and Opera d'Oro and even Myto. The transfers are clean and the collection is nonpareil. In all ...

A Masterpiece
I am a college student and I am majoring in music education. My primary instrument is the flute, and my goal is to attain all of the pieces that I have studied. By buying this CD with many different selections has saved me the aggravation of purchasing many different CDs. James Galway is an extremely talented man, and this collection shows off his capabilities with flare. There are selections ...

Pavarotti: Greatest Hits

Decca, 1997

Great collection of songs and arias.
I used to think that this wasn't Opera, but now I found out that there was more to music than that of scary music, and scary film scores. That being said, this Cd is the best. The arias on the first Cd are filled with emotion, because they take me back to a time when music was real. I also like the songs on the second Cd because they are nice to listen to. Highly recommended. If you're ...

The Prima Voce Treasury of Opera, Vol. 2

Nimbus Records, 2000

Fabulous!
This is an amazing collection of arias from the early 1900s through the 1930s (there is one 1942 cut). The sound transfers, made from pristine 78 records, are excellent, especially considering the age of the recordings. This CD is a splendid overview of the outstanding artists of their day, and while many of them are no longer (opera) household names, their singing is first rate. Not only ...

Pavarotti Forever

The Gift.
It is sad, isn't it, that we take our gifted artists for granted until they're gone forever. I'm guilty of that short-sightedness to this day and here is a great example. When Pavarotti began his rush to fame in the early 1990's, like many others, I just knew his singing would be around throughout my lifetime. Now he's gone. Had he not passed on, I probably would still not have owned this CD ...

The #1 Tenor Album

3 reviews
Cesare Andrea Bixio, Georges Bizet, ...

Decca, 2001

A masterpiece compilation of Bel Canto
The #1 Tenor album is basically, a compilation of the most popular opera arias. But it's a must buy for two simple reasons: For anyone who enjoys listening to classical music (specifically opera), this albums contains probably, many of the greatest male voices in opera history (we miss Enrico Caruso), such as: Mario Del Monaco Giusseppe Di Stefano Jon Vickers Plácido Domingo Jussi Björling José ...

Brilliant Classics, 2004

One of the best of the Masterworks series
Brilliant Classics' "Masterworks" series, if you can get them cheaply (and currently they go for about $1/CD from Amazon's France Web site), are a great way to amass a significant library of the works of several great computers. The production values and the performances themselves are uneven, and the interpretations are not always historically-informed (unlike the bulk of Brilliant's "Complete ...

Hit and Miss
When I first got this tape, every song on disc 1 played beautifully until the end of #17. #18 only played half way through. The next time I played disc 1, it stopped on #17. The third time I played it, it played all the way through. I have mixed emotions about this disc. However, I did enjoy the music and singing.
