Gigli Is A Wonderful Singer!
It's an honor for me to be "the first" to review this recording for Amazon. As "opera lovers" know, Gigli was "the greatest tenor in the world" for many years after the death of Caruso. If you haven't heard Gigli, a great treat is in store for you! He had "penache" and drama in the way he sang. Plus he had a beautiful tonal quality! I could go on and on but if you "pass this guy up" you'll be ...

A childhood memory
I do not really know Opera. I am writing this review because I remember hearing Caruso's voice coming from a seventy- eight on an old Victor gramophone in my paternal grandparents house. The power and lyric quality of the voice struck me so strongly especially in 'Pagliacci'. The phrase has been with me, and comes back occasionally through all the years. Caruso was then, and I believe still is ...

Where is Amore I?
This CD is a selection of arias from Italian operas. Most of the time when you get a compilation like this, you feel lucky if you like 2/3 of the selections. In this case, whoever did the selecting did a great job, there isn't a clinker in the lot. About half of the arias are by Puccini, the rest are by Verdi, Donizetti, and Giordano. Singers include Kiri Te Kanawa, Luciano Pavarotti, Richard ...

Bocelli never disappoints!
I hate to admit it but it has only been fairly recent that I "discovered" Andrea Bocelli, when he appeared on Oprah Winfrey(or was it Dr. Phil?), and American Idol. His voice mezmorized and touched me so much that I HAD to find out more. Over the last few weeks I have purchased apx. 6 of his CD's, and I can honestly say I love them all, including this one. Bocelli does not disappoint, and it ...

Wonderful, but just SOME of the very best of Nicolai Gedda
This is but a subset of the glorious recorded singing by Nicolai Gedda; however, it is a good sampler of the repertoire that made him legendary. And, at least a couple of the tracks ("Asile Hereditaire" and Lenski's aria) seem to be his best recordings of those particular works. Gedda is a member of a small circle of famed tenors noted for disciplined and artistic vocal production. He could ...
Música ranchera: Amor, Dolor y Lágrimas (Love, Hurt and Tears)
Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano
Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, 2008
Amor, Dolor y Lágrimas (Love, Pain, and Tears) flow from the heart of the Mexican mariachi when it plays música ranchera, Mexico's soulful "country music." Riding the wave of mass media beginning in the 1930s, música ranchera became the single most popular vein of Mexican music by the 1950s. GRAMMY-winning Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano breathes new life into classic soul-baring rancheras and boleros in this back-to-the-future recording. 47 ...

A fine tenor
Jose Carreras is one of the finer tenors of his era, without much question. This 2 CD set illustrates why one can say that. The first CD displays his operatic skills; the second focuses on more popular tunes, such as "O sole mio," "Funiculi funicula," and "Tonight." He shows a rich lyric tenor voice. First, some operatic works. From "La Boheme," we hear the wonderful romantic aria, "Che ...

Wonderful introduction to opera
More than just a promotional sampler, the Naxos (8.555037-38) contains not only 2 CDs crammed with 39 excerpts from that company's seemingly bottomless catalogue, but also a 762 page book. The text offers plot summaries of almost every important opera and many of far lesser renown (Delius' "The Magic Fountain," Mascagni's "Iris," for example), a brief biography of the composers, a glossary, and ...

Mary Fahl CD-The Other Side of Time
Mary Fahl's voice gets better with time no matter what side of time she's on. I've been a fan since her arrival with the group "October Project." Her lyric s are thoughtful and her alto voice, hauntingly beautiful.

The Muse of Genuine Comedy
I am incapable of recognizing the case against Nucci and Dara's singing and not highly motivated to find out. I listen to operas, not to nuances distingishing one professional from another. In a review of the Ferro Don Pasquale, I state a preference for L'Elisir D'Amore because it is less formulaic than the 1843 opera buffa. The 1832 work is genuinely comic rather than satirical. Pavarotti has ...

great collection
If one was wanting to introduce a friend to the wonderful world of opera, this would be a great cd to buy them. Also at this time when many of us are worrying about Luciano and his health , it is great to hear him featured on many of the selections. A great buy and wonderful collection.

This is a wonderful CD to sing along with in "rotten" traffic. All of a sudden, it just dosen't matter that much. If it can do this for me, it will help even the most "miserable" (in thought, word and deed), driver. Worth having in the car.

Great singer, great production, great album.
It took Fanny Lu a while to actually get high with this album that was originally released in 2005. During 2006 she found success in Latin America with her first single that became a hit in her country, Colombia where it made it to #1 and was also called "Song of the year". I'm talking about the big hit "NO TE PIDO FLORES" a song that was never out any discotheque list. Then came "TE ...

Great Pavarotti sampler collection
I got this CD for my teenaged son, who asked for a Pavarotti CD for Christmas. I chose this one among the plethora of recordings because it is a good sampler of the great man's best pieces. My son isn't much into operatic singing, but he loves Pavarotti. I wanted a recording that would "hit the high points" without being too exhaustive for someone who's not deeply interested. This recording has a ...

Irrepetible
Aparte de la calidad de grabacion realmente buena , entre el concierto en directo y el disco encontre pocas diferencias mas alla de lo obio. El bolero cubano y la voz flamenca se juntan en este disco y dan lugar a un disco irrepetible , por la edad de Bebo por una parte y por que sera dificil que se vuelvan a conjuntar estos dos estilos tan dispares de forma tan acertada . Altamente ...
