The sounds on this CD are heavenly. Nearly every song brings back wonderful memories of childhood.             The #1 Opera Album44 reviews Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Decca, 2001 The best gift ever. I purchased this CD as a birthday gift for my sister. Because I personally know nothing about opera, I didn't know how to buy a single opera for her, or even which one she would like if I did know how to get it. So I settled on this "sampler" style Cd, and she just loved it. This is the best of the best of all opera arias and performances. My sister plays it all the time, and I think it is ...             Cecilia Bartoli - If You Love Me (Se tu m'ami ), 18th-Century Italian Songs37 reviews Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Cesti, ... Decca, 1992 Awe inspiring Even for the non opera afficianado, these beautiful songs, rendered with exquisite style and grace and meticulous accompaniment,make for enthralling listening. I listen to this album more than any other I have ever owned. I simply never get tired of the songs. It is a true collection that builds one on the other. It becomes totally engrossing placing the listener in a world all its own.             Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces23 reviews Fritz Dolezal, Franklin Cohen, ... Decca, 2001 Good times I just cant say enough about this collection. It used to be that you had to spend a fortune to get Mozart's best hits; a few on each album. Now, you can buy them all at once and dirt cheap! very nice             Cecilia Bartoli: Sacrificium14 reviews Various, Giovanni Antonini, ... Decca, 2009 New Opera Listener I heard an interview with Cecilia Bartoli on NPR about two months ago and was fascinated by it. She spoke of the castrati singers who I knew a little about because of a course available on opera done by "The Teaching Company" by Robert Greenberg. (I'm new to opera but it's possible to learn much in little time between courses like this, inexpensive downloads and live HD opera at theaters. You ...             Mozart - Requiem / Augér, Bartoli, Cole, Pape, Wiener Phil., Solti22 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Georg Solti, ... Decca, 1992 Better than Bernstein Good buy. This Requiem version is wonderful and uplifting. Bought Leonard Bernstein's version some years ago. It moves so slowly and seems full of unrelenting angst--sounds more like Wagner than Mozart. If you like the music of Mozart's Requiem, this version is much more friendly.             Colbran, the Muse7 reviews Gioachino Rossini, Edoardo Müller, ... Virgin Classics, 2009 Colbran the Muse - DiDonato the Goddess! Fierce is just about the only word I can come up with so bowled over have I been by listening to this new disc from Madama DiDonato. It opens like gangbusters with the spectacular rondo "D'amore al dolce impero" from Armida - a very impressive way to open this recital, every minute of which is thrillingly AND gorgeously sung. DiDonato hurls her voice through coloratura that will practically ...             Sogno394 reviews Andrea Bocelli, Francesco / Quarantotto, Lucio Sartori, ... Philips, 1999 Andrea's masterpiece This is the most beautiful music you will ever listen to.Andrea has a way of bringing out your innermost soul.The music can make you cry just to listen to it,even if you don't understand the words(which are translated in the booklet).Highlights are Sogno and Immenso for beauty,The Prayer and Nel Cuore Lei for stellar duets,and Canto Della Terra for the rapturous glory of Andrea's voice.If you buy ...             Moulin Rouge 2158 reviews Various Artists Interscope Records, 2002 awesome Moulin Rouge 2 is a perfect complement to 1. Some songs fuller, more orchestral, others from the soundtrack. great listening album             Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments17 reviews 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 ...             Cecilia Bartoli - Maria20 reviews Maria Maribran, Vincenzo Bellini, ... Decca, 2006 If half the stories about her are half true....... ....Maria Malibran must have been a real piece of work. And if the music written for her is any indication, she must have been an absolutely fabulous singer. Malibran was opera's first girl superstar, but her personal life kept getting in the way until her tragic death at 28. Her legend is sort of like "What if Amy Winehouse could actually sing"? A book I had some years ago of juicy tales about ...             Conan the Barbarian28 reviews Basil Poledouris Warner Spec. Mkt. UK, 2003 Fantastic score! This is one of my favorite soundtracks of all times! The music is beautiful, and spans the full emotional spectrum. Adventure, victory, defeat, tragedy, revenge, grief, struggle, loss, are all expressed through brilliant composition and instrument choice. Listening to the album conjures up images from the movie, and is great at telling the story through music alone. Love or hate the movie, the ...             The Ultimate Puccini Collection18 reviews Giacomo Puccini, Herbert von Karajan, ... Decca, 1998 Fantastic! This is one of the first opera CDs I ever got. It's wonderful for just about any body;from the newbies like me or the opera fanatics. I especially like 'In Questa Reggia'. Buy it now!!             Sacrificium14 reviews Various, Giovanni Antonini, ... Decca, 2010 New Opera Listener I heard an interview with Cecilia Bartoli on NPR about two months ago and was fascinated by it.

You ...             Cecilia Bartoli - Mozart Arias10 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Cecilia Bartoli, ... Erato, 1996 Rich full bodied delivery of superb selections of Mozart's art The rich full voice of Cecilia Bartoli really shines in these selections. I suspect that her native language of Italian is a contributing factor to the totally natural sound of her lyrics and voice. Bartoli has a dramatic flair that emerges in her delivery that seems perfect for the selections. The recordings are consistently beautiful. Bartoli is a mezzo-soprano with incredible range. Her warm ...             Sacred Arias [Special Edition with Bonus DVD]5 reviews Andrea Bocelli, Giulio Caccini, ... Philips, 2003 A spiritual experience The DVD is the full 77 minute concert with two featurettes previously released alone. The CD is the full 72 minute concert previously released alone, except that two bonus tracks have been added. The audio quality of each one is quite good. (If you have a Dolby Digital stereo, then you must go into the setup menu on the DVD to select Dolby Digital sound. The default music track is the stereo ...             The Story Of Handel5 reviews George Frederick Handel, Dieter Kober, ... Vox (Classical), 1995 we love the whole series The whole Vox Music Masters series has been a treat from age 4 on. The stories are child-oriented, but not sugary sweet (divorce and insanity both mentioned if it is appropriate for that composer). The short clips one review complained of caught the ear of my son, and he'll even pick out the tunes if he hears them as musak in a department store.             Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)/ Bartoli, G. Quilico, Kuebler, Feller, R. Lloyd; ...13 reviews Cecilia Bartoli, Carlos Feller Arthaus Musik, 2003 Bartoli in "Il Barbiere" This Barber stars Cecilia Bartoli as Rosina, Robert Lloyd as Basilio, Carlos Feller as Bartolo, David Kuebler as Almaviva, with Gabriele Ferro conducting. I really enjoyed it, but would caution some of the purists that it contains some minor cuts, such as at the end of the opera, they've dropped the scene where Bartolo wishes Rosia and the Count happiness, and also, Fiorello's recitativo prior to ...             Cecilia Bartoli - The Vivaldi Album / Il Giardino Armonico42 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Antonini, ... Decca, 1999 Cecilia Bartoli brings Baroque music to life This album is so good that it has converted me to liking Vivaldi! I'm a fan of other Baroque composers such as Bach, Telemann, Couperin and Handel but had never really appreciated Vivaldi until I heard this album. Cecilia's technical experise and her intense interpretation makes this album a delight to listen to. She brings Vivaldi's arias to life as I've heard no other performer manage to do so. ...             Cecilia Bartoli ~ Opera Proibita (Handel · Scarlatti · Caldara) / Les Musiciens du Louvre · Minkowski38 reviews George Frideric Handel, Alessandro Scarlatti, ... Decca, 2005 Cecilia at her best! when I started collecting Bartoli's album I first got "A Portrait", which is great for the Bartoli beginner. You can hear how she started and progressed through Mozart and Donizetti. However, I believe that she shines when it comes to baroque music. She is great Rossini singer but her passion really comes through in Baroque music and on this album.
