They have knowledge of classical music but perhaps not much about baroque music, which achieved special popularity in the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Russians seem to have more ...             The Mario Lanza Collection (3CD) Irving Aaronson, Beelby, ... RCA Victor, 1991 Selections from the Greatest Voice of the Last Hundred Years Mario Lanza was, arguably, the greatest tenor and greatest singer of this and the last century.

RCA, 1999 Four Brahms symphonies on two discs! It takes Toscanini's driven tempos and BMG's blink-of-an-eye breaks between movements to do it, but they've managed to cram all four Brahms symphonies onto two discs, where the usual is three discs with fillers. There are none here, needless to say. Out of curiosity I ...             Rejoice! A String Quartet Christmas Arturo Delmoni John Marks Records, 1995 Hark!!!!!

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 ...             Astor Piazzolla Kicho Diaz, Alberto Celasco, ... Documents Classics, 2006 An Incredible Bargain I already own more than fifty Piazzolla CDs and so was more than a little curious about what new material could be gleaned from this ambitious box set.

RCA, 2004 A famous recording revisited As a teen opera fan, I always heard about this famous "Blue Album" featuring Leontyne Price. I finally bought it and now having listened to it many many times over the past few years, I see why this disc is so celebrated. Price's voice is incredibly beautiful and ...             #1 Piano Album No. 1 Piano Album Decca, 2002 Pure This album has it all, believe it or not. There are loads of cheesy #1 blah blah albums that are horridly popular. Sure, there are many well-known pieces on this, such as Alla Turca, the Adagio Sostenuto of the Moonlight, Fur Elise and the Minute Waltz. But almost ...             Debussy: Images I/Images II/Children's Corner Claude Debussy, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Deutsche Grammophon, 1990 One of the Top 10 Debussy Keyboard Albums of All Time ...which is quite a mouthful considering that it was released in 1971, long after the "Golden Era" of virtuoso pianism had ended. But with the so-called "mad genius of the keyboard" known as A.B.
