Rhino / Wea, 2006

Great entertainment
I have two of their CDs. Both are good but this is my favorite. Bohemian Rhapsody alone is worth the cost of the CD.

Placido Domingo: A Love Until The End Of Time

Placido Domingo, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

love songs easy to listen too
I love a classical voice singing this type of mustic, or sacred (from the operas (in English), or, out of print sacred. Wish I could find a source for some of my old tapes (some recorded from 78s) of artists like Jerome Hines (Holy City, 1962-3, 78 record I transferred ...

A Patriotic Salute to the Military Family

Fred Newell, Eddie Bedford, ...

Altissimo Records, 2001

Irony indeed
Some other reviewers have chastised and complained yet they fail to notice that proceeds from this album go to Military Families, and that it is endorsed by the National Military Family Association. I find it hard to believe that the NMFA would associate with and ...

Simply the Best Christmas Album

Adolphe Adam, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Erato, 2001

Simply the Best...
The minute I heard Thomas Hampson sing the first few notes of Adeste Fideles, I knew I had to have this album. It is a marvelous compilation of Classical Christmas favorites (excerpts from the Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli Christmas Concertos and The Nutcracker) and ...

A Tenors Christmas

Adolphe Adam, Charles Aznavour, ...

Sony, 1997

Three Tenors
This album was clearly a "pickup group" put together for the commercial Christmas Season. Having said that, it is an enjoyable experience to hear these three gentlemen harmonizing so fluidly. Although Mr. Carreras's power can't equal the two giants singing with him, ...

Perhaps Love

John Denver, Lee Holdridge, ...

Sony, 1990

A great CD...
Placido Domingo is a great man...I love his music and will always continue to listen to him...he is so relaxing for me to hear... I loved this CD with John Denver singing my favorite "Perhaps Love" It is a keeper for sure...

Hymns Triumphant 1 & 2

John Alldis, Malcolm Hicks

Sparrow, 2002

A Touch of Heaven on Earth
This collection of hymns is very inspiring and you will, if like me, get caught up in singing along. I play the CDs in the car and the hymns are more than enough relief from the traffic snarls and road rage to get me to and from where I am going. As the ...

Entre Dos Mundos
Manuel Alejandro, Manuel Esperon, ...

Sony, 1992

Christmas Favorites from the World's Favorite Tenors

Adolphe Adam, Irving Berlin, ...

Sony, 1993

A great CD to introduce your kids to opera!
I'm not a big fan of opera and-needless to say-none of my kids are. But since I found this CD easy to understand and like, I figured I could stick it under my daughters' noses and maybe have them like it too. One evening I casually mixed it with other Christmas carol ...

The Essential Placido Domingo

Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, ...

Sony BMG, 2004

Great for what it is
I agree with the previous poster that this does not contain his great dramatic stuff like otello/wagner, but the collection is a beautiful one. There are some great recordings here, and his crossover stuff(maria, Dulcinea, impossible dream) is very interesting. His ...

Hymns Triumphant

Lee Holdridge, John Alldis, ...

Sparrow Records, 1994

A Perfect Mix
The most difficult aspect of finding a good choral CD is the mix. Hymns Triumphant is fantastic.

Holdridge Conducts Holdridge

Tomaso Albinoni, Lee Holdridge, ...

Klavier, 1995

Purely and superbly romantic
Wonderful selection of the classical compositions of Holdridge. Superbly romantic music, belonging in the true sense to any time that is not tied to "the current fashion of things".

Hymns Triumphant, Vol. 2

Sparrow Records, 1994

Track Listing for Volume 2
1) Come, Christians, Join To Sing / Brethren, We Have Met To Worship / Rejoice The Lord Is King 2) Morning Has Broken/ Sun Of My Soul / All Hail The Power Of Jesus' Name 3) Jesus, The Very Thought Of Thee / To God Be The Glory 4) Be Thou My Vision 5) O ...

Tenors on Tour

Harold Arlen, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1997

Tenors on Tour - Versatile and Beautiful
Tenors on Tour is a CD which will live forever. The opening songs by Placido Domingo, His arrangement of Blue Moon and Moon River, set the tone for the CD. To hear Richard Tucker do "Climb every Mountain" was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Who will ever forget ...

American Voice

Azica, 2002

A Young Tenor's Tribute to his Homeland
A vibrant and touching journey through American music, from the Old American Songs of Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber's Sure on this Shining Night and Simple Song from Leonard Bernstein's Mass, through crossover Broadway tunes such as I Gotta Get back to New York and ...
