Fryderyk Chopin Families in Global... Naive: Modernism a... Ideals Gaetano Donizetti

Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ...

Decca, 2001

The best gift ever.
I purchased this CD as a birthday gift for my sister. Because I personally know nothing about opera, I didn't know how to buy a single opera for her, or even which one she would like if I did know how to get it. So I settled on this "sampler" style Cd, and she just ...

The Best of Italian Opera

Robert Merrill, Giuseppe Verdi, ...

EMI Classics, 1997

Great Stuff
The sound quality of this disc is surprisingly good, very good for an ADD. All the selections captured each singer in his/her top form. It is a real treat that this disc contains many work that were not normally in certain singer's repertoire. Gedda's Aida, Moffo's ...

Tuscany: A Romantic Journey
For anyone who enjoys classical music, this is a "must-have"! I have listened to the cd every day since it arrived, sometimes several times a day. It is soothing and restful, a lovely calm in the midst of a busy life.

Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments

Rapture-Opera's Most Heavenly Moments

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Indeed
I have more experience with other genres of music, but am interested in basically all kinds. I have been collecting CDs for nearly 2 decades but had no Opera in my collection. I did a little research and arrived at a conclusion. If I wanted the most and best Opera ...

The Most Famous Opera Duets

Eberhard Wächter, Georges Bizet, ...

EMI Classics, 1994

Don't let the low price fool you!
This CD is magnificent, especially for people just getting into opera. I've never really been interested in opera before, but I've recently started listening to it and wanted a CD of my own to listen to. When I bought this, I was a little wary of the low price, and I ...

Bel Canto Spectacular

Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti, ...

Decca, 2009

Bel Canto Spectacular, indeed!
As much as I enjoyed JDF previous effort, Voce D'Italia - Arias For Rubini, there were times when the voice sounded a bit too pressurized and strained, though his musicality and intelligence were never more present. We have none of the former in this new recording, the ...

Naxos, 2002

Absolutely beautiful
Now this person can play! No strumming to make airy sounds. Real classical music! Only the harp, and it's enough. Absolutely beautiful.

The Other Side of Time

Mary Fahl

Sony, 2003

Mary Fahl CD-The Other Side of Time
Mary Fahl's voice gets better with time no matter what side of time she's on. I've been a fan since her arrival with the group "October Project." Her lyric s are thoughtful and her alto voice, hauntingly beautiful.

Donizetti: L'Elisir D'Amore

Gaetano Donizetti, James Levine, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

A Treat!!
Of the many recordings of L'Elisir d'Amore this one is a stand out. Upon hearing this studio version from 1989 I was taken by the great beauty of Kathleen Battle's singing and reminded once again what a loss her early withdrawal from the performance stage was. With ...

A - Z of Opera (includes 762 page booklet)

Monteverdi, Roberto Servile, ...

Naxos, 2000

Incredible Opportunity to Hear and Lean About Opera
We have loved Opera for years; but, had never been to one. Nor did we know anything really about the composer's or the story of the Operas. This has quickly become our favorite; we bought a second copy for our car and listen to it on trips. As a result of reading ...

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 ...
