CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com The 16 pieces in this collection must include nearly everyone's choices for the top-10 Verdi tenor arias. The range of emotions is enormous, from the lecherous flippancy of "Questa o quella" to the intense thirst for revenge in "Di quella pira" and the awed, idealistic love in "Celeste Aida." Domingo is not the only great tenor of his generation, but he is the most versatile (can you imagine Luciano Pavarotti in Lohengrin?) and imaginative. The best way to hear these arias is in the continuity of the operas for which they were written, but there is a lot to be said for a record that moves gracefully from one summit to another. --Joe McLellan Similar CDs

CD ReviewsRare Verdian tenor singing! Armindo | Greece | 03/19/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Little can be said about one of the world's greatest tenors with a singing technique SO good, that allows him to tackle so many diverse and difficult roles even at an advanced age.This is a compilation of moments mainly taken from his numerous Verdi studio recordings. It's quite representative of his strong and stylish singing considering that, in my opinion at least, his voice was made for the later Verdi tenor roles rather than the earlier, lyrical ones. He's a natural Radames, Don Carlo, Don Alvaro, Manrico, Rodolfo and a defenite Otello. The solo scenes heard here are taken from his first - and least dramatic - recording. The later recorded duet with Ricciarelli's deeply moving Desdemona is by far the best track of this cd! A ligter voice like Bergonzi's or Pavarotti's moves me more in Traviata, Rigoletto, Ballo and Vespri but Domingo sings nevertheless wonderfully.Besides the fact that Domingo is a rare singer I've also heard many times that he's a pleasant, warm and modest person which not only makes him a great singer but also a great artist!"
