| The labels that are now gathered under the Universal Classics umbrella have a pretty impressive scorecard in the area of classical compilations. We've seen The Greatest Opera Show on Earth, The Yellow Guide: Classical Music, Best of the Millennium, and now there's The No. 1 Opera Album. But that's no surprise, since Universal has some of the finest interpreters in its catalogue to draw from. This two-CD set (at the price of one), for example, brings together the likes of Cecilia Bartoli, Renée Fleming, Luciano Pavarotti, Kiri Te Kanawa, Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, and many more. Yet the other key to a successful compilation is canny anthologizing, and here again, you have a nice selection to give you a smattering of opera's heavyweights from the Italian, German, and French repertory (there's even a step outside the standard framework with an aria from Dvorák's lovely Rusalka). Ranging from 1959 to 1997, the choices from back catalogue will doubtless be the entry ticket for many into this grandest of the arts. --Sarah Chin |

 Written on July 17, 2007 Summary: The beautiful gift of opera... This 2-CD set is absolutely wonderful! You can close your eyes and feel like you're actually at the opera, listening to those beautiful voices bringing tears to your eyes. Nessun Dorma still stirs up emotions in me, no matter how many times I hear it. Great examples of opera to give someone wanting to get interested in this style of music.  Written on July 3, 2007 Summary: Pretty darn good This CD set has a lot of familiar music on it, so if you're a newbie, you might want to try starting with this. There are some great pieces on the first CD. I usually don't even make it to the second.  Written on June 7, 2007 Summary: The Opera #1 Opera Album The music is wonderful. The production is terrible!! The sound fades in and out and is very scratchy in some places. Written on May 12, 2007 Summary: Excellent assortment I'm not a big opera fan but I wanted to expose an assorted selection for my kids. This was perfect since it included several recognizable selections. Written on March 30, 2007 Summary: Great Selections This Cd, has the very best of Opera covering mainly from the classcal to the to the romantic periods, a most memorable selection here is Leo Nucci in a lagendary performance of Rossini's "Largo al Factotum" from "Il Barbiere di Seviglia" also Andrea Bocelli in his performance of Leoncavallo's memorable "Matinatta" here in an orchestrated version. Indeed some of opera's most loved arias are in this recording various conductors, orchestras, and soloists. All in their very best. Indeed a five-star recording... |
