Product Description

From Amazon.com

This is a remarkable collection: two and a half hours' worth of opera arias, duets, and a couple of choruses, and nary a dud among them. All the stars are here, from Alagna to Schwarzkopf, with stops at Gheorghiu, Callas, Bjoerling, Dessay, Gedda, Carreras, Popp, Domingo, Norman--and a bunch of others. And the repertoire is wisely chosen: the gorgeous Flower Duet from Lakme, de los Angeles singing Bizet's Habanera from Carmen, the famous Pearl Fishers duet (Gedda, Blanc), Wally's exit into the snow from La Wally (Callas), the Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffmann (Jessye Norman and Ann Murray), "Largo al factotum" with an energetic Thomas Hampson as The Barber of Seville, Domingo in "Celeste Aida," countertenor David Daniels in a Handel aria, the heavenly "Song to the Moon" from Rusalka, sung as in a dream by Lucia Popp, Caballe as Madama Butterfly, and many more--37 tracks in all. Even if you already own some of these, having them all in one place makes for breathless, glorious listening. --Robert Levine

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation of No1 singers but..., April 4 2004
It seems as if the Alagnas have made this compilation.
They havent included not even one second class singer but they have forgotten many true No1 as: Fleming, Sills, Nilsson, Horne and Christa Ludwig... while there are too many alagnas' arias...

A bit biased...

4.0 out of 5 stars Gran recopilatorio, Feb 28 2004
Este recopilatorio ofrece variedad de estilos, versiones siempre de alto nivel y precio medio muy interesante. Muy recomendable para iniciarse en el mundo de la opera de la mano de los mejores artistas de hoy y de ayer, aunque algunos de los grandes cantantes se echan quiza en falta.

4.0 out of 5 stars blend of great opera for novice or opera buff!, Mar 2 2003
By christina (rockville, md United States) - See all my reviews
Beautiful music for anyone. Even those I know who generally dislike opera have taken an interest! These are truly highlights of some of the greatest peices...breathtaking voices...relaxing and yet movingingly passionate. I reccomend this for anyone wanting a varied and yet stunning collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nessun dorma!
This set of two CDs is a great way to listen to some highlights from many different operas when you aren't in the mood to listen to a full opera. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars THE OPERA LOVER
I love opera but I do not like to watch it. I love the opera music but not all of it. So what do I like? I like the specific pieces of the music and I love the voices. Read more
