I Wish There Is a DVD for This Cast!!!
I bought the recording in the tape form years ago. I could not listen to it any more because of the wear after I played it too many times. Fortunately, technology came to the resue, CD!!! The tenderness, emotion, range, and capacity, from a delicate note to a full ...

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 ...

An Evening With Joan Sutherland & Luciano Pavarotti

Pavarotti, Sutherland

Decca, 2008

The Best Met Gala Ever on DVD!
I pleased that Decca have released this on DVD, since this is one of the best galas that the Met have put together. This gala is recorded on January 11, 1987, and featuring Dame Joan Sutherland and Lucio Pavarotti in fully staged performances of Act 3 of La ...

Donizetti - La Fille du Régiment / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Malas, Sinclair, ROH Covent Garden, Bonynge

Gaetano Donizetti, Richard Bonynge, ...

Decca, 1990

A Great Recording of an Opera That Should Be Performed More Often
With the lighthearted music of Donizetti's LA FILLE DU REGIMENT, you'd hardly know that it takes place in the midst of a war and tells the story of a young woman abandoned at birth and left to the benevolence of an army regiment, all the while being in close proximity ...

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 ...

Donizetti - Lucia di Lammermoor / Joan Sutherland, Alfredo Kraus, Pablo Elvira, Paul Plishka, Richard ...

Joan Sutherland, Alfredo Kraus

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Bel canto diva shines
Perhaps this is not the definitive production of Lucia di Lammermoor, nor is it Sutherland's most sensational performance of the role. But it merits 5 stars simply because it is Sutherland in her signature part, an amazingly rare document considering the astonishing ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II

Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Decca, 2005

Wonderful, of course!
I don't know of too many that would give fewer than five stars to Luciano Pavarotti. What an amazing voice...we are fortunate to have been part of one man's unbelievable talent!

Verdi - Rigoletto / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Milnes, LSO, Bonynge

Giuseppe Verdi, Richard Bonynge, ...

Decca, 1990

The Definitive Rigoletto
I have owned this recording for years, and now I can't listen to any other recording. I've even performed in this opera. While Sutherland is indeed too old for Gilda, these are still the glory days for her (early 70s). However, Pavarotti and Milnes are simply ...

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (Deluxe Edition) (1961 Original Broadway Cast)

Frank Loesser, Robert Morse, ...

RCA Victor Broadway, 2003

Sublime Remastering
Yep, here is another cd I had to buy again to get the new remastering and the improvement in sound is well worth the investment. It sounds crisper and has a more vivid aural presence than the previous issue. That's important in a show recording as quirky as this one. ...

Verdi - La Traviata / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Manuguerra, NPO, Bonynge

Giuseppe Verdi, Richard Bonynge, ...

Decca, 1991

Solid version
This is an intriguing version of "La Traviata." Joan Sutherland takes on the role of Violetta, something that does not appear to be a natural fit, near the end of her career. Other sopranos, such as Renata Scotto or Anna Moffo, appear more natural in this role. ...

An Introduction to Der Ring des Nibelungen

Deryck Cooke, Georg Solti, ...

Decca, 2005

FASCINATING STUDY FOR NOVICES AND AFFICIONADOS ALIKE
This may look an intimidating, daunting and dull prospect - a 2+ hour lecture on the motifs in the Ring. Don't be put off. Whether you're a relative novice to the Ring and want to find out what it's all about, more experienced with a desire to understand the ...
