Viva Italia! Festive Italian Classics

Barlow / Brito, Eduardo di Capua, ...

RCA, 1996

Great Itlaian Music
We're planning a wedding with an Italian themed reception. This has a great selection of music. Highly recommened for that classic Italian sound.

UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child

Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, ...

RCA, 1999

Soothing sounds for unborn baby
This product is wonderful and i would recommend it to anybody who is expecting a baby. It can be used also later on when the baby is born of course so it is a never-ending beautiful piece of music.

Romance of the Violin

Joshua Bell, Giacomo Puccini

Sony, 2003

Drippingly romantic!
I played this during my dinner party this week and several of my guests commented on how beautiful the music was! It is a lovely collection and has not one single track that I want to skip when it plays!

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

Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ...

Angel Records, 1999

Good for relaxing pregnant women
I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I ...

The Most Famous Opera Duets

Eberhard Wächter, Georges Bizet, ...

EMI Classics, 1994

Beautiful duets...
This CD is really awesome. I'm new to opera, but love the music on this CD. I use opera music in my CD clock radio (Timex from Amazon) to fall asleep to. What a way to fade into dreamland.

Pavarotti's Greatest Hits

Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ...

Decca, 2007

heaven sent
From his earliest recordings to his last, Pavarotti's angelic voice continues to sound like the finest crystal. It is easy to imagine the young Luciano singing alongside his father at Sunday mass. Thank you, Luciano, for sharing your glorious and passionate ...

Sarah Brightman Classics

Sarah Brightman, Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, ...

Angel Records, 2002

Ahh Sarah!
Is there a better singer in the world? I don't think so, but in any case, this new album from the now very svelte and very georgeous Sarah Brightman is superb. The power, the control, the clarity is all there. This experienced vocalist is the definition of a world ...

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Decca, 2005

A gift for my dad
The CD wasn't originally for me but my dad loves it. He plays it all the time and claims its a very complete collection of the artist.

Carreras · Domingo · Pavarotti: The Three Tenors in Concert / Mehta

Giacomo Puccini, Salvatore Cardillo, ...

Decca, 1990

Greatness from the 3 Titans!
I respectfully agree yet disagree with Ms Barbara Eisner who wrote the review of the 3 Tenors 1990 concert. She is right that Carreras was not on par with the other 2 but that is only because at this late stage in his (Carreras) career he was not in the very fine ...

The Opera Gala: Live from Baden-Baden

Anna Netrebko, Elina Garanca

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

a very pleasant surprise
The Opera Gala: Live from Baden-Baden I had read good reviews of this concert and was familiar with all of the singers except Elina Garanca, but i was still surprised by the quality of this program. Anna Netrebco is, as usual, very good until her encore when she kicks ...

Puccini: Tosca (1953) with Callas, di Stefano, Gobbi, cond. by de Sabata

Giacomo Puccini, Victor de Sabata, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Why 5... Find Out!
When I first got this recording, it was my first Tosca. As such, I didn't know what to listen to (or what to listen for) and really at the time the only other soprano I had heard was Cecilia Bartoli in La Cenerentola. So bascially it was my first Tosca with my only ...

The #1 Opera Album

Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ...

Decca, 2001

great collection
If one was wanting to introduce a friend to the wonderful world of opera, this would be a great cd to buy them. Also at this time when many of us are worrying about Luciano and his health , it is great to hear him featured on many of the selections. A great buy and ...

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 ...

Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta

Giacomo Puccini, Zubin Mehta, ...

Decca, 1990

I Wish There Is a DVD for This Cast!!!
I bought the recording in the tape form years ago. I could not listen to it any more because of the wear after I played it too many times. Fortunately, technology came to the resue, CD!!! The tenderness, emotion, range, and capacity, from a delicate note to a full ...

The Best of the Three Tenors

Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, ...

Decca, 2002

The best from the three greatest...
The first thing we must establish here is that this is not meant to be opera. This is three exceptionally talented tenors enjoying themselves and giving tremendous joy to those listening by singing mostly popular "evergreens" and also some operatic arias. The beauty in ...
