Opera d'Oro is releasing a set of 8 CDs in 4 volumes of great Verdi performances and they are truly great. It is an amazing selection of some of the greatest singers of all time. Unfortunately, Amazon shows this set to be volume 2 whereas the contents and picture shown are actually of volume 1. If you should order this, I'm not sure which volume you'll get.             100 Years, 100 Singers Rca Victor Singers RCA, 1993             The Complete Caruso including The Original Victor Talking Machine Co. Master Recordings [Box Set]10 reviews Antonio Scotti, Mario Ancona, ... RCA, 1990 The Master of Italian Tenor Singing-Get it I have been collecting Caruso performance since 1960- of course they were on vinyl- I even had some 78's. I think the 78 and vinyl records produced a warmer tone, but it is a delight to have the Master's performances in one place. My vinyls are worn to shreds. Except for the lighter and bel canto roles, Caruso is supreme in the Italian and some of the French repetoire. Last night I ...             The Golden Age of Singing, Volume One 1900 - 19101 review Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Friedrich von Flotow, ... Nimbus Records, 2000 Opera legends This is a wonderful selection of opera arias by the legendary singers who made the early 20th century one of the golden ages of opera. The quality of this recording is exceptionally good, without the distortional background noise of the originals. All four volumes are highly recommended.             Golden Age of Singing Vol.2 (1910-20)1 review Titta Ruffo, Pasquale Amato, ... Nimbus Records, 2000 Singers of Great Renown As the years go by, recordings of singers of the past become cheaper, less bulky to store, and reproduce in better sound. Nimbus Records have developed a method of reproducing recordings from the years before the introduction of electrical recording in 1925. The results are especially kind to singers who recorded in the early decades of the C20th. This double CD presents recordings from the ...             The Caruso Edition, Vol. III: 1912-19162 reviews Pasquale Amato, Angelo Bada, ... Pearl, 1993 Must Have 3 of 4 ...what I said about volumes 1 and 2... Excellent documentation, excellent remastering. Oh yeah, and it's Caruso. Any questions?             Prima Voce: Ruffo2 reviews Titta Ruffo, Ambroise Thomas, ... Nimbus Records, 1992 Ruffo- The Voice of the Lion! This CD is an excellent introduction to the voice of one of the greatest singers ever to grace the operatic stage. The transfers are excellent, and I can guarantee that you won't have a `drop out' of the voice here, as happens on some `live' recordings, many of which seem to be done by people holding the microphone under their coats. The sound is what one can expect from the beginning of the ...             Artists Of The Century - Caruso, The Greatest Tenor In The World4 reviews Antonio Scotti, Pasquale Amato, ... RCA, 1999 A nice overview of Caruso's legacy Enrico Caruso was one of the first "media stars," with his recordings selling widely in the early twentieth century; he helped popularize the recording industry. He was one of the leading tenors of his day, and is regarded as one of the tops of the twentieth century (although he began serious singing in the late 19th century). This CD features some of his "greatest hits," among which are his ...             Victor Recordings-Vol. 24 reviews Beniamino Gigli Romophone (UK), 1996 MAGNIFICENT COLLECTION!!!

Naxos, 2004 Essential edition for opera lovers This set gives you the opportunity to follow the entire recording career of one of the greatest singers in Operatic History. Enrico Caruso was the first superstar of the 20th century -- and this without the benefit of mass media. His person and his records were his greatest publicity.

Opera D'oro, 2001 LEGENDARY DUETS A REAL PLEASER I bought this after buying the super villans. The first thing that struck me was the quality of the sound. It is just really neat to hear the greats from the past. Some of the renditions are a little different,but that only lends to the interest. This is a real must for anyone who likes historic recordings.             Sings Verdi2 reviews Giuseppe Verdi, Gaetano Scognamiglio, ...

Opera D'oro, 2003 Great Value - Volume II This two disc set is the second of two (so far) anthologies of some of the best singers of the last 100 years singing excerpts from Verdi operas. It serves as a good, inexpensive introduction to historical performance practices and singers.

Naxos, 2002 Bella Musica I was always "una amante di musica", especially musica classica, but books and TV were mostly my source of edutainment. I was actually forbidden by my Godfather to listen to it in the house. He said that it was for crazy people. So, I don't know much about opera, arias, oratorio, operettas nor cantors, but I do know what I like. I bought this CD, quite honestly, because I didn't have much to ...             Caruso: Tenor Of The Century Antonio Scotti, Mario Ancona, ...

Nimbus Records, 2000 One of the Great Bargains This is one of those rare bargains that one dreams about. I discovered it while browsing and I could not believe that one could have six disks for less than the normal cost of two. Nor is this an economy issue, transferred from what I assume is original pirate recordings along the lines of Gala and Opera d'Oro and even Myto. The transfers are clean and the collection is nonpareil. In all ...             The Great Caruso (Original Mono Recordings from 1904 - 1919)2 reviews Antonio Scotti, Mario Ancona, ...
