The 3 Tenors in Concert 1994 - Los Angeles
Superb. A must have. Best of all the 3 Tenor concerts. Buy the CD with it too. While these are the best 3 Tenors at one time of all time in their own separate right, together, with their mix of strengths is just unbelievable. I wish it was in Blu Ray.

Breathtaking performance
I don't have much experience with opera nor am I any expert, so I cannot comment on anything technical. What I CAN say is that i was totally mesmerized by the performance. All three principle characters are just PERFECT for the parts. Domingo is my favorite singer of all time and all genders, so no need to say anything. Millo helped me appreciate soprano voice because I had been a little annoyed ...

Better than the best.....
I sit here at my computer and try to think of superlatives adequate to accurately describe this album....and there just aren't any. It is worthy to be the best selling classical album of all time....but it's more than that. It's just a must have, a collection to soothe the savage breast. For those times when I have lost hope, when I am past care.....I will sit with closed eyes and listen to this. ...

Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments
Deutsche Grammophon, 2002
Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Indeed
I have more experience with other genres of music, but am interested in basically all kinds. I have been collecting CDs for nearly 2 decades but had no Opera in my collection. I did a little research and arrived at a conclusion. If I wanted the most and best Opera music for my money, I had to get this title, which is a double album, and "The Most Famous Opera Duets". Well, the latter was a ...

Enjoyable creative production
A visual and vocal treat with the wonderful Robert Lloyd as villian. Who ever came up with all those contraptions for the inventor Spalanzani was a genius. A harp with its own hands playing it, camera with flash built into a hand. And his newest creation, Olympia, a mechanical doll for our Hoffmann to fall in love with. If you only watch this act you'll get a full show!! Vocally, Cotrubas ...

A delightful surprise as Leoncavallo spreads his wings beyond Pagliacci
A delightful surprise. The packaging of Domingo and Lang Lang smacks of commercialism, but I doubt that this album would have had a chance without them. If any composer is known solely by a single work, it's Leoncavallo, and even though Pagliacci shows every sign of immortality, it has never been as esteemed musically as its stable mate, Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana. Here, Leoncavallo sounds ...

Splendid! The 1983 production, with modern technology.
This is a 2009 release of a 1983 telecast. As such, the video and audio quality is astonishingly good. Please note: some other reviews refer to an earlier release - there's nothing wrong with the sound on this one - DTS 5.1 is perfectly acceptable; one might say excellent. It's like a visit to the Eighties, in a time machine. There are some superb performances on this disk. Watching a very ...

El despertar de los sentidos
Efectivamente para quienes gustan y confían en el talento del maestro Keliber, no se equivocarán con esta producción, ya que la intensidad, el tiempo y la forma han sido cuidados minuciosamente, haciendo de esta obra una verdader guía musical para el alma en cada cuadro... "della gioia a la morte"... Domingo es poderoso y apasionado Alfredo, aunque se limite en los altos, muy altos; y Milnes un ...

Mesmerizing
This version of Madama Butterfly is simply astonishing. Freni and Domingo are magnificent and Von Karajan, once again, proves to be the great maestro of all times. I watched this dvd with some friends and all of us were moved,some to tears, at the power of the performances.

She has the voice of an angel
A first rank actress in her own right, Teresa Stratas has a voice that seems too good to be true. I am still shaking my head after watching, once again, the pathetic and horrendous sounds coming from the mouths of those chosen to sing America the Beautiful and the Star Spangled Banner at this year's Super Bowl. If by some miracle, a voice such as Stratas's could be let loose on the world in ...

Outstanding music and performance
This is one of the most extraordinary concerts which combines some of the best of classical and popular music. It has three of the most priviledged voices of our time accompanied by an incredible symphonic orchestra. It is a collectors item for those who treasure great music. Placido has itroduced two young voices that will make history!

Defective DVD of a great production!!
I rate the production and the opera 5 stars! The DVD is defective as others have reported and hangs up in the middle of Act II, so the product itself gets a big fat ZERO. I was able to repeatedly hit fast-forward and jump past the freeze, but DAMN it! I don't understand why Amazon continues to sell this item and can't manage to put pressure on Universal Music Group (which now owns Deutsche ...

An excellent performance
This is a reissue (digitally remastered) of a 1977 Live from the Met telecast. The production (scenery % costumes) are traditional 1970s Met, the singers and conducting are excellect (Cotrubas had a little trouble with a few of the high notes), and the remastered video and audio bring it very close to todays technical standards. This is the best Rigoletto I have seen on DVD.

The Ultimate in the Classical Voice Performance
The Best of the Three Tenors is a celebration of our greatest legends in Classical Music. Very little is available for classical music lovers today, so this is a must for your music library. Unless children and teens hear the classically trained voice when they are young, they will not develop the concept of music appreciation at its best. They are bombarded with screamers and contemporary ear ...
