CD Reviews

Ravishing!

PennsylvaniaMartha | 05/05/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For some crazy reason, I went on a big opera-compilation-CD buying binge a few months ago. Impressed by the highly positive reviews, this 2-CD set was one of many such purchases I eagerly made at that time.

Well, time has passed, the dust has settled -- and now I find that this is one of only TWO of all those compilation CDs that I still love to listen to frequently (the other is the amazing bargain CD, The Most Famous Opera Duets).

I highly recommend this beautiful compilation for those times when you feel a yearning for beautiful, transporting music, but don't want to commit to listening to an entire opera. Put this on, close your eyes, lean back, and prepare to be swept away! This is a truly special music experience for a very reasonable price. Treat yourself!"

Great Introduction to Opera for Your Skeptical Friends

Robin Currier | 11/04/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Are there people in your life who just don't "get" opera? This CD is a fantastic introduction to opera for people who are not familiar with it. You could think of this CD as being the "best of the best" or at least as a collection of the easiest to listen to hits.It would take a heart of stone not to melt when the Flower Duet from Lakme is playing. Even though these numbers are already familiar to me, I never get tired of hearing them, and I play this CD over and over. In fact, since my car has a CD-changer, I just leave this CD in all the time and switch over to it whenever I'm feeling stressed.Great collection by great artists, this CD is really a treasure."

Surprisingly good, beautifully done

Stephen Peithman | Davis, CA USA | 03/15/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I don't usually like compilation CDs of this sort, since they pull the songs out of their original contexts. But, in this case, the choices are thoughtful and the way they have been intermixed throughout this two-CD set are exemplary."
