The King of High C's Does Christmas!
Originally recorded in 1976 and now available on a CD, this collection of sacred Christmas music by Luciano Pavarotti has to be one of the finest recordings of this sort ever made. This great tenor was at the height of his powers and his golden voice, instantly ...

Nice surprise...
Some of the first music I purchased years ago at Costco, taking a gamble on the quality of pieces chosen, orchestrations, etc.. This remains among some of my favorite collections, as the music is beautiful, rich, and well-done. I ended up buying it about 8 yrs later ...

A very special Christmas album
My wife and I love Christmas music, but this album is in a class by itself. It is opera, classical music, Christmas carols, and the most heartfelt and expressive personal expression of religious feeling. It is exalted and joyous, and to my wife and me, inexpressively ...
Paventa Insano: Pacini and Mercadante Arias and Ensembles

Opera Rara UK, 2006
An Instant Favorite
This is a really good, no great, performance of rarely heard set pieces from the bel canto operas of Mercadante and Pacini. Finally someone is dusting off the great works of these composers and performing them as they cry out to be performed. A necessary purchase for ...

Unusual but outstanding flute music
This is one of a number of cd's bought for my wife (an avid flute lover) which have turned out to be among my favorites. Galway plays with his normal crispness and energy, but here some unusual pieces one doesn't hear often. The two Khachaturian songs are haunting and ...

Rampal's musicianship and virtuosity astounds.....
As a student of the flute, I have made Rampal one of my personal role models. This recording is a prime example of why that is the case. These performances shine with exceptional flute playing. Of note is Rampal's clear, perfect tone, remarkable intonation and pristine ...

Simply Superb
This is an exceptionally fine recording of some scarcely known works by a composer overshadowed by more famous contemporaries. The sound quality is excellent, James Galway plays the flute beautifully as always and I Solisti Veneti is outstanding. The music itself is ...

And Rampal gave the flute life...
People may say that James Galway is the best flutist around, but after hearing his music with a big disappointment, I decided to see what the other master flutist had to offer. Jean-Pierre Rampal's flute music is, without doubt, the most brilliantly expressed. It ...

Brava, Bravura Diva
Jennifer Larmore's meltingly beautiful yet powerful voice, aided by her rich coloring and emotional resonance, make her among the very best mezzo-sopranos of our day, or, in fact, of any day. There are more than a few critics and fans who compare her to the great ...

A match made in heaven
As a fan of both Renata Scotto and Mirella Freni, this re-release of a most delightful album is most welcome. A truly heaven-made match, with the scene from Norma as a personal favourite!

RCA Victor Europe, 2005
Magnificent relief for demanding people
The 3 concertos recorded here come from a group of 6, written about 1818 or 1819. They were first played in the Naples conservatory with the composer as solist. The flute writing is beautifully adapted to the instrument and is thrown into high relief by the mainly ...

A Top Notch Favorite
Number one: The world has been sitting far too long without large doses of Mercadante. A passionate, brilliant melodist, Mercadantes' rousing works inspire the soul to dance and hum along if one can, since subtle intricacies surprise the listener and what seems to be a ...
