Opera Goes to the Movies
Robert Merrill, Giorgio Onesti, ...

RCA, 2001

THE Opera C.D. for the Opera Illiterate!
If you only buy ONE opera C.D., this is it!!! A compillation of famous highlights from operas we all know we've heard before (but might not know where to find them again). Some of my favorites: #3Puccini's Turandot-"Nessun Dorma", #4 Delibes: Lakme-Viens ...
  
  











  



  
The #1 Tenor Album
Cesare Andrea Bixio, Georges Bizet, ...

Decca, 2001

A masterpiece compilation of Bel Canto
The #1 Tenor album is basically, a compilation of the most popular opera arias. But it's a must buy for two simple reasons: For anyone who enjoys listening to classical music (specifically opera), this albums contains probably, many of the greatest male voices in opera ...
  
  











  



  
Thar They Blow
Kenny Ball, Ashwin Batish, ...

Whaleco Records, 1996

Totally enthralling!
If you only have one saxophone ensemble CD, it should be from the Whales. And if you don't like saxophone, buy this anyways--you will still like it. Good music is music that sounds good, right? This CD starts, appropriately enough, with a fanfare (Fanfare for the ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete Caruso
Antonio Scotti, Emilio de Gogorza, ...

RCA, 2004

There are better options
This is a re-release of the RCA complete Caruso set from the late 1980's. The transfers were made in the late 1970's at the dawn of the digital era and were state of the art for that time. But in cleaning up the surface noise these old digital transfers seriously ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Sonatas for Violin & Keyboard
Daniel Yeadon, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

ABC Classics, 2007

The third and final release in the Richard Tognetti Bach Violin series. These six sonatas for violin and keyboard feature guest artists Neal Peres Da Costa, historical keyboard specialist and co-founder of the internationally renowned period-instrument ensemble Florilegium, and Daniel Yeadon, Australia's finest Baroque cellist and a regular guest ...
  
  











  



  
Puccini: La Boheme
Anna Moffo, Richard Tucker, ...

RCA, 1990

A good buy
This La Boheme does not disappoint, although it does not particularly impress either. Richard Tucker's portrayal of Rodolfo is rather good, although he doesn't quite compare to Jussi Bjoerling. Some passages sound a little nasal, but his tone overall is good. Robert ...

Angelo Bada, Antonio Scotti, ...

Naxos, 2004

Essential edition for opera lovers
This set gives you the opportunity to follow the entire recording career of one of the greatest singers in Operatic History. Enrico Caruso was the first superstar of the 20th century -- and this without the benefit of mass media. His person and his records were his ...
  
  











  



  
The Broadway Album
Gary Herbig, Charles Berghofer, ...

Sony, 1990

WHAT A SINGER! BRAVO, BARBRA STREISAND !!!
The Broadway Album by Barbra Streisand is clearly one of her very best. Barbra really opens up on this album and belts out some of the greatest Broadway show tunes ever written. The sound quality is great and the artwork is very well done. "Putting It Together" ...
  
  











  



  
You've Tried All the Rest, Now Try the Best
Eduardo di Capua, Salvatore Cardillo, ...

Decca, 2004

This is a great CD of the best of Italian music
Our Italian family owns just about every Italian CD under the sun. It's funny, this CD title says "You've tried all the rest,now try the best." That's us! Seriously, this really is one of the BEST CDs we ever bought because it features such a wide variety of Italian ...

Schipa In Neapolitan Song: Prima Voce
Richard Barthelemy, Antonio Benelli, ...

Nimbus Records, 1997

I would like to kiss you
Admirers of the incomparable tenor Tito Schipa will not want to be without this CD. No less than 24 Neapolitan songs Schipa recorded between 1925 and 1938 are included. Transfers have been made from clean, faultless 78 originals, some of them very rare. Schipa's voice ...

Puccini: La Boheme (Highlights)
Philip Maero, Robert Merrill, ...

RCA, 1990

Deceptively advertised
I don't look for give-aways, but this seemed like a very good deal, like others I have gotten from Amazon. I have purchased several items from Amazon for half price, and it looked as if this was another of those opportunities. The CD label looks the same, without ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete Caruso including The Original Victor Talking Machine Co. Master Recordings
Antonio Scotti, Emilio de Gogorza, ...

RCA, 1990

The Master of Italian Tenor Singing-Get it
I have been collecting Caruso performance since 1960- of course they were on vinyl- I even had some 78's. I think the 78 and vinyl records produced a warmer tone, but it is a delight to have the Master's performances in one place. My vinyls are worn to shreds. ...
