Arias

Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ...

Decca, 2001

The best gift ever.
I purchased this CD as a birthday gift for my sister. Because I personally know nothing about opera, I didn't know how to buy a single opera for her, or even which one she would like if I did know how to get it. So I settled on this "sampler" style Cd, and she just ...

Andrea Bocelli: Sacred Arias

George Frideric Handel, Giulio Caccini, ...

Philips, 1999

Positively Magnificant
Just purchased the CD today and absolutely love it. Not so sure about the "Jingle Bells" , but The Lord's Prayer is BREATHTAKING and brought me to tears. Andrea is I believe the most gifted tenor of today and I look forward to hearing more from him and seeing him ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

Very good!
I was impressed from the selection of the songs in the album. I advise everybody who are willing to relax by listenning these masterpieces. (Shut off the lights while listenning)

Romanza

Andrea Bocelli

Philips, 1997

Fabulous!
He is one of the "great voices" of our modern era, and this romantic album is superbly representative of his emotional genius in singing. Anna Marie Fritz, author of "Funny Feline Fotos" and other Amazon.com books.

Simply Baroque

Yo-Yo Ma, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 2003

YO YO MA'S SIMPLY BAROQUE IS SIMPLY... WONDERFUL !
The Baroque Period in Europe originated in the early 17th century and reached it's peak in the early 18th century. The English word "baroque" is translated from the Italian "barocco", meaning "bizarre". "Passionate" is probably more like it. Johann Sebastian Bach is ...

J.C. Bach: La Dolce Fiamma- Forgotten castrato arias

Jeremie Rhorer, Le Cercle De L'Harmonie

Virgin Classics, 2010

More beautiful than Johann Christian Bach you die
The first surprise is the music itself and this rather not very well known composer, one of Johann Sebastian Bach's sons. Surprising because it is nothing but opera arias and not religious music at all. This son followed a road that his father hardly followed and his ...

Art of Segovia

Andres Segovia

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

What can anyone say about Segovia ........
......... that hasn't already been said a million times over? He's the best that ever was.

One Chance

Paul Potts

Sony, 2007

Mesmerzing and beautiful!
Here you go, the new kid on the block and sweeping the country away with his voice. If you collect classical and opera, this is the one for you.

Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart

Buena Vista, 2002

Carleigh's CD
I bought this cd for my 9 month old baby to play in the car until we can get a dvd player. She loves her Baby Einstein dvd's so I was hoping that this would help soothe her car ride. She would get very agitated about having to be restrained while in the car. But ...

Italia

Chris Botti

Sony, 2007

This guy's awesomely talented...
We first heard him on a fundraiser for Public TV in Detroit and thought WOW!! We never turned the channel, like usual. We listened to the fundraiser all night long just to hear him play in concert. I bought this CD the next morning on Amazon.com and bought three ...

Mozart Arias for Male Soprano

Michael Maniaci, Boston Baroque, ...

Telarc, 2010

Great things are in store for Maniaci!
Does he sound like a falsettist? No -- no breathiness or flutey quality at all. His is a complete voice. Does he sound like a boy soprano? No -- too powerful and far too rich. Does he sound like a woman? No -- his voice is clearly a healthy male voice. It's ...

The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Relaxing Music Suited For Today's Busy Lifestyles
"A vast and tender calm Seems to descend from the sky Lit by the moon This is the exquisite hour" ~ Paul Verlaine ~ The above quote is taken from a poem by 19th Century Fench poet Paul Verlaine titled "La Bonne Chanson No. 6." His words fittingly describe the ...

Pyrotechnics: Vivaldi Opera Arias

Fabio Biondi, Europa Galante

Virgin Classics, 2009

The Da Capos Are The Charm
Known for his frugality as an opera impresario, Vivaldi was regarded by scouting and promoting new talent. This assured him a steady stream of singers eager for their big break in opera, and a safe way to keep production costs down. La Cuzzoni was perhaps the only ...

The Most Famous Opera Arias

Georges Bizet, Alfredo Catalani, ...

EMI Classics, 1994

Great for kids!
I'm generally not a fan of music "samplers," but opera can be tough to introduce to children. And hey--even adults played cards, ate, and talked through the recitative sections of the early operas while they waited for the next aria! So I feel that getting kids hooked ...
