Giuseppe Verdi, Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, ... Decca, 1989 A Fine Recording of Verdi's Masterpiece This recording was my second recording of Verdi's Rigoletto. My first was the 1979 recording under Carlo Maria Giulini on the Deutsche Grammophon label. It's a great recording, and I reccomend it to any Verdi opera-lover. So, if you will pardon me, when I review this ...             Mozart: The Marriage of Figaro / Pace, de Carolis, Frontali, Morandi [Highlights] Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Hungarian State Opera Orchestra, ... Naxos, 2000 Terrific value, beautiful quality. This CD is a wonderful value with top-notch recording. The Cherubino character (mischievous lovestruck youth) is especially delightful on this CD. I fell in love with "Sul Aria" in The Shawshank Redemption, and later saw this opera live. Though it's only a ...             Handel: Rinaldo / Horne, Gasdia, Palacio, Weidinger, de Carolis, Fisher George Frideric Handel, John Fisher, ...

Naxos, 2000 Wonderful introduction to opera More than just a promotional sampler, the Naxos (8.555037-38) contains not only 2 CDs crammed with 39 excerpts from that company's seemingly bottomless catalogue, but also a 762 page book. The text offers plot summaries of almost every important opera and many of far ...             Mozart: The Complete Da Ponte Operas (Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi fan tutte) W.A. Mozart, Riccardo Muti, ... EMI Classics, 2002 Good Overall Seeing Mozart's Da Ponte opera cycle for sale at the price of only one opera it was hard to resist purchasing it (after all, it would cost at least twice as much to buy all three of these operas directed by Muti, seperately.) This boxed set is a mixed bag of good ...             Puccini - La Boheme / Alvarez, Gallardo-Domas, Hong, Servile, de Carolis, Parodi, Bartoletti, La Scala Opera Marcelo Alvarez, Cristina Gallardo-Domas Tdk DVD Video, 2005 A Boheme on DVD that makes me cry I've always loved Boheme, but as far as DVD recordings of this opera, there has always been some problem. Not with this recording. All the principals are excellent, especially tenor Marcello Alvarez. BTW, he is the only tenor on any live recording to sing his Act 1 ...             Life & Works Mozart Naxos, 2002 Excellent Overview of the Life of Mozart "Life & Works" is an excellent telling of the life of Mozart that primarily uses his letters, the letters of his family and friends, and his excerpts of his music. It is a rich combination that avoids many of the cliches of other biographical pieces (such as not ...             Classical Evolution: Mozart: Marriage of Figaro (Highlights) Claudio Otelli, Marco Chingari, ... Delta, 2002 Compilation but still excellent This recording is not your typical opera highlights. Instead of taking the best parts of a complete opera recording, this is a compilation of recordings by different soloists, conductors and orchestras.

Philips, 2000 Loved it! Andrea Bocelli's legion of fans get their hearts' desire along with with the gifted tenor in this splendid performance of Puccini's classic. La Boheme, perhaps the most popular opera, is enjoyable anyway but Bocelli's spellbinding voice makes it sound as if even the ...             Handel: The Masterworks (Box Set) Gunther Burzynski, Istvan Gati, ... Brilliant Classics, 2004 Handel's Music Good performances, good fidelity and recordings, good selection but not comprehensive.

I am so impressed and moved by the music, the selection, the quality of the recordings. An incredible collection at an unbelievable price. I can not imagine a better overall set of this magnitude and quality. If you need Mozart, want to know Mozart, have never listened ...             Massenet: Werther Jules Massenet, Yves Abel, ... Decca, 2005 Werther Is A Bocelli Masterpiece Although not a purist, listening to good opera is a great pleasure. Perhaps the technical aspects are beyond my knowledge, but when Bocelli sings, I do know that his voice and interpretation of Werther go straight to the heart. As Werther one can feel the emotional ...             Puccini: Manon Lescaut / Te Kanawa, Carreras, Coni, Chailly Giacomo Puccini, Riccardo Chailly, ... Polygram Records, 1988 Excellent in all Respects Te Kanawa and Carreras blend gorgeously in this fine recording. Chailly finds the elegance in the score like no other. Buy it.             Don Giovanni Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, William Shimell, ... Angel Records, 1991 Brilliant match of concept and execution Muti's Don Giovanni emphasizes the drama at the expense of humour, and is one of the most succesful recordings in driving this point home.
