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. And revive my soul.....

2.The Most Famous Opera Duets from: EMI Classics April 12, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $3.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.97
Maybe these don't represent absolutely the greatest duets in all opera. But they represent some awfully good ones! The CD begins with a duet from "Les Pecheurs des Perles" (Puccini) and ends with the gloomy Miserere (from "Il Trovatore," by Verdi). In between are many more operas, from Donizetti and Mozart to Strauss and Wagner. Some of the finer singers of the past half century appear in various of these duets. A bit more detail on a handful of these to illustrate. "Sull'aria" from Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro." Heather Harper and Judith Blegen sing the parts here. This is a sweet duet from the opera. The singer's voices meld well together and this represents a poignantly sung piece. "Ah! Verrana a tell sull'aure," from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor." ... Read More

What incredibly beautiful music this is! Puccini's "Turandot" is my all time favorite and this cast gives a stellar performance on his final, unfinished work. I bought this CD only because I wanted Pavarotti's version of "Nessun Dorma," but I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the full performance was. It is impossible not to be moved to tears when listening to Caballe's "Signore, Ascolta" - this is a scene stealer especially with her held note at the end of the aria that is sure to induce a total "Oh my God" moment. With that said however, Sutherland and Pavarotti are the stars and both effortlessly break the vocal stratosphere in their performances. All under the masterful baton of Zubin Mehta, you are sure to be pleased with this CD. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do.

I enjoyed this CD because I like the tenors on it very much, and it included a number of selections where the three men are singing together, or cooperatively and that was the best part.

This is an excellent CD to introduce children to some of the more familiar operas. I would highly recommend this CD for children and also for adults who want to become familiar with opera.

Ni que decir; Joanine hace toda una verdadera creación inigualable de la Marie!!; como si fuera escrita para ella; que manera de cantar por Dios; en 1968 en la cúspide de los años "vocalmente angeliacal"; rol trágico-cómico de "happy end" que marca el antes y depués de Joan Sutherland; que decir del magistral binomio Sutherland-Pavarotti, el más perfecto y eficaz en la historia de la ópera!; Joanine muestra una caraterización simplemente "perfecta" vocal e histriónicamente; su voz en la mejor forma, bien temperada, sin excesos, de forma, cuerpo y color perfectos; el maravilloso Tonio de Pavarotti, con una magna interpretación sin mancha y elocuente, con una voz técnicamente corregida 2 años atrás por la propia Joan, bien impostada, bien engolada, con dominio del fiatto y del registro sobreagudo, ...

"Quando m'en vo" is not omitted from this CD; it is just called "Musetta's waltz song." It is the same aria.

This is a wonderful Lucia recording. fyi, there is no libretto included. It is a complete 1975 recording and some bonus tracks from a 1959 recording of Joan Sutherland's Lucia. You won't be disappointed buying this recording!

This is without doubt the best Turandot on disc. Nilsson's voice is more "free" compared to the RCA version but this might be a question of recording techniques. The three main parts work perfect together, they can not be bettered on disc. So - this is THE choice. To my very great astonishment EMI has chosen the recording with Maria Callas to their "Great recordings of the Century" series, not the one reviewed here. Callas sang the role a little more than 20 times just in the beginning of her career and she did not like it, she was afraid that it could destroy her voice, therefore she dropped it as soon as possible. Turandot was Nilsson's most sung role: over 300 times. In one of his biographies Placido Domingo tells about singing in Turandot together with Nilsson at the Verona Arena. He had never in the whole of his career ... Read More

This is the first recording of "Lucia di Lammermoor" that I've ever bought, and I do believe that this is going to be the last the I've ever bought. It's an almost perfect recording, with a clever conductor and a spectacular cast of singers. Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti sound amazing when they sing their parts; the "Mad Scene" in particular is spine-tingling. The supporting cast (Sherrill Milnes, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Huguette Tourangeau) make it all the more complete. I did have a problem with the recording's "sound effects"; it's kind of distracting once you get into this studio recording. But SFX aside, this is one of the greatest acheivements in opera CD history. I highly recommend it to opera beginners, and to those who don't even like Donizetti. Grade: A
