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 ...

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Decca, 2005

Wonderful album from the best tenor of all time!
A wonderful compilation from the best tenor of all times! Includes some of his best and outstanding songs! We will always miss him; but, his voice lives on in his music! Great album!

The #1 Opera Album

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 Opera Gala: Live from Baden-Baden

Anna Netrebko, Elina Garanca

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Whatever she wants...
This live recording of a performance in Baden-Baden in 2007 is just the thing for explaining to friends why you like beautiful singing and "the finer things in life." Nearly twenty arias, duets, and more provide a variety of great moments from favorite operas. ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Fifth Element

Eric Serra, Gaetano Donizetti, ...

Virgin Records US, 1997

Fifth Element soundtrack used
Bought a used copy for about a third of new. Recived in new condition although open and used. Very pleased with transaction and music. Used some of the soundtracks on Halloween disc for home display. Several visitors asked where I found this music. I am very pleased ...

Donizetti - L'Elisir d'Amore / Eschwe, Netrebko, Villazon, Wiener Staatsoper

Rolando Villazon, Anna Netrebko

Virgin Classics, 2007

Elixir
Opera is so cool! In "legitimate" theater it would be difficult to mount a successful production in Austria, performed in Italian, with principals from Russia, Mexico, Italy, and Moldova, yet that is what this production of "L'Elisir d'Amore" does- with a Viennese ...

The Most Famous Opera Duets

Eberhard Wächter, Georges Bizet, ...

EMI Classics, 1994

Beautiful duets...
This CD is really awesome. I'm new to opera, but love the music on this CD. I use opera music in my CD clock radio (Timex from Amazon) to fall asleep to. What a way to fade into dreamland.

Gaetano Donizetti - La Fille du regiment / Dessay, Florez, Palmer, Corbelli, French, Campanella, Pelly (Royal ...

Natalie Dessay, Juan Diego Florez

Virgin Classics, 2008

Magnificent performance of a great opera
I just viewed my new purchase of "La Fille du Régiment." Every singer was superb in this performance. Just to listen to Flórez sing the nine high Cs in "Ah! mes amis," was a delight. It was pure perfection, and what a voice! One thing that surprised me was the DVD that ...

Andrea Bocelli - The Opera Album ~ Aria

Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, ...

Philips, 1998

Andrea Bocelli - Sogno
I am 45 years old. The reason why this is something I am mentioning, is to let all of you reading my review know what age group I am in. It might be important to the age you are in knowing what I have to say. I have four Andrea Bocelli CD's and they are all ...

Bel Canto

Bellini, Donizetti, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2009

Beautiful Bel canto singing
I disagree with another reviewer who remarked on the lack of drama in this material. The Bel canto style had its peak of popularity in the Rossini, Bellini and Donzinetti era, where singing is less about drama and content, and all about the art of beautiful singing, ...

Donizetti - Lucia di Lammermoor / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Milnes · Ghiaurov · ROH Covent Garden · Bonynge

Richard Bonynge, Joan Sutherland, ...

Decca, 1985

A splendid version of Lucia
This is probably one of the top versions of Lucia di Lammermoor, one of Donizetti's greatest works. The cast displays such stalwarts as Sherrill Milnes, Nicolai Ghiarov, Luciano Pavarotti, and--of course--Joan Sutherland. Richard Bonynge did much background research ...
