Placido Domingo

Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera

Plácido Domingo, Renée Fleming

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

A must own!
What a treat! Domingo was owning this...voice powerful, presence exactly right, and acting surprising excellent. Fleming was brilliant! Her voice was at the height of it's beauty. The last aria was so moving and perfect. While I didn't care for Morris's voice in this, ...

The Berlin Concert - Live from Waldbuhne

Rolando Villazon, Anna Netrebko

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

You will be musically intoxicated !
This is without doubt the finest concert I have ever enjoyed. It has wonderful music throughout, performed by three world superstars at their very best, with terrific charisma and chemistry, especially during the five encores when everybody including the performers, ...

Leoncavallo - I Pagliacci / Mascagni - Cavalleria Rusticana / Domingo, Stratas, Pons, Bruson, Obraztsova, ...

Teresa Stratas, Plácido Domingo

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

Top Pagliacci
Leoncavallo's Pagliacci is one of the verismo cornerstones of the Italian repertory. This performance does justice to the hot-blooded score with magnificent singing by tenor, Placido Domingo and Teresa Stratas. Conductor Georges Pretre, not usually associated with ...

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 ...

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

Giacomo Puccini, Salvatore Cardillo, ...

Decca, 1990

Better than the best.....
I sit here at my computer and try to think of superlatives adequate to accurately describe this album....and there just aren't any. It is worthy to be the best selling classical album of all time....but it's more than that. It's just a must have, a collection to soothe ...

Three Tenors: In Concert

José Carreras, Plácido Domingo

Decca, 1997

Simply the Best
The Original Three Tenors Concert was held during a very warm month: July. The actual date was July 7, 1990 at Terme di Caracalla in Rome, Italy, to commemorate the World Cup Football finals. The location was spectacular: the fabled Roman ruins of the Baths of ...

The Three Tenors Christmas

Adolphe Adam, Fermin Maria Alvarez, ...

First Christmas Album I bought for myself
Album is great. For any other holiday music, just listen to your local radio station that plays it during December.

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Decca, 2005

Glorious, amazing, inspirational
Listening to Pavarotti every day, particularly his "The Best" CD, is a MUST. Disc #2 was glorious, his interpretation of folk songs is so seamless that your swept along with his joy in performing these gorgeous pieces. Do you want to be uplifted? Buy Pavarotti's The ...

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 ...

Verdi - Aida / Levine, Domingo, Millo, Metropolitan Opera

Aprile Millo, Plácido Domingo

Deutsche Grammophon, 2000

Excellent Recording!
This DVD recording of "Aida" is a feast for the eyes and the ears! Even though it's from a few years ago, the voices are outstanding and the recording clear and up to date. This is my favorite opera of all time and this DVD really does it justice. I recommend it ...

Tan Dun - The First Emperor (The Metropolitan Opera HD Live Series)

Placido Domingo, Elizabeth Futral

EMI Classics, 2008

Don't listen to the critics
Critics have been very harsh on this new opera. This has happened before; composers have been misunderstood or not-understood at all by critics, while the public loved them. Seems too early to dismiss "The First Emperor". I have seen it many times and every time I ...

Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy-My Favourite Opera For Children

Robert Massard, Sherrill Milnes, ...

Decca, 1994

Fun, accessible opera for you and your child to enjoy
I bought this CD for my then 3 year old son. He loved it then because it was the "Bugs Bunny" music he was familiar with from the cartoons. He listened to it for awhile then we put it away. After he turned 4, he said to me one day -- let's listen to opera, and now ...

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...

Puccini - Madama Butterfly

Mirella Freni, Plácido Domingo

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

comparaison non comparaison..
Reading some of the other reviews here, I wonder if I'm in the same universe. I feared this dvd for a long time, having been bleached of hope by years of indifferent if not hostile reviews and commentary about it. I think Puccini planned that NO performance of ...

A Gala Christmas in Vienna

Plácido Domingo, Sarah Brightman

Sony, 1998

Beautiful
I taped this performance from PBS. All my family members liked it and my three children,age Two(2) and age 4(1) have watched this video more than twenty times. I bought this video here in Amazon.com as gift to my friend.
