Professional Review:
This is a misnomer--not all of these duets are all that famous--but it's a fine compilation nonetheless. You'll hear selections from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers (Nicolai Gedda and Ernest Blanc at their most elegant French), Madama Butterfly (Carlo Bergonzi and Renata Scotto--an impassioned pair), Lucia di Lammermoor (a classy Alfredo Kraus and Edita Gruberova), the lovely Lakme duet, The Presentation of the Silver Rose from Der Rosenkavalier (with the earnest Christa Ludwig and the other-worldly Teresa Stich-Randall), and a fine Trovatore "Miserere" (with Leontyne Price and Franco Bonisolli singing up a storm). There are many others, too--a veritable cornucopia of couplings--and a treat for the opera lover. --Robert Levine

   Summary: The Most Famous Opera Duets
The quality of the recording is good. The variety of artists used is good

   Summary: Great value for the money
This is literally the CD that sparked my love for opera. The duet from "The Pearl Fishers" is just stunning. I'm buying another copy of this because my husband accidentally tossed the old one along with our old (nonfunctional) CD player. Can't do without this CD!

   Summary: A delight!
A wonderful intro to opera for the novice. Stunningly beautiful duets. However, there is a problem with the sound quality on a couple of tracks. But for the price, one can not complain

   Summary: Opera Duets
This is a wonderful compilation CD of some of opera's most beautiful duets. I particularly enjoyed the duet from Der Rosenkavalier with Christa Ludwig and Teresa Stich-Randall and the Wagner Duet with Jon Vickers and Helga Dernesch. This is a great CD to just plug in the stereo and listen to while you're working.

   Summary: Buy This Recording
Great artists, performing at the top of their game. This recording is a prize.
