I heard this CD on a PBS pledge drive (it was a premium) and found myself loving every cut on it! I was in my car and just wanted to keep on driving and listening. This is by far my most-played CD - I've had to make it a weekend only listen to prevent getting burned out on it. HIGHLY recommend it. Even if you are unfamiliar with some of the pieces, you will quickly learn to love them. . . . I must end this review - I'm off to listen to the "flower duet" for the 100th time. . .

What beautiful music. I'm new to opera, but the tracks on this CD are awesome. My only complaint is that Nessun Dorma is the last tract...so I start out there first.

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

I just bought my second copy of this excellent CD because I literally wore the first one out. No matter how I feel before I play this music, I feel joy whenever I listen to it. Highly recommended to beginners and the more experienced opera listeners as well.

I don't know opera. Last summer we had an incredible 20th anniversary trip to Italy. As a side trip from Venice, we planned a night in Verona. Neither my wife or I had been to an opera. Is this how its supposed to be... ...an incredible star filled night with a three quarter moon, the largest stage and outdoor theatrical production on the planet, all taking place in a roman colleseum (arena) built in 180 a.d., an incredible colorful set and production with a full symphony orchestra and voices that don't come easy. Aida. Now I know what all the hpye is as you opera fans sure are lucky to have such a beautiful setting for all your productions. Okay, we got spoiled. But I also found myself getting spoiled on the Italian composer Verdi. ... Read More

6.Puccini - The Great Opera Collection from: Decca March 11, 2008

Let me say that these Puccini operas are beautifully performed by Renata Tebaldi who I always believed had a beautiful voice with the sole of a true musician. I should always acknowledge that I don;t at all feel that way about Maria Callas who sings flat and sharp and wobbles. Terrible singer and judging from clips I've seen of her stage work, also a melodramatic over-the-top actress. My main criticism of this set (and I have the same criticism for made opera boxed sets, these days) is that it was not designed for easy transfer to I-Tunes and Ipod. Is it really brain surgery to consistently name the disc in any one opera. For instance how able calling them Tosca Disc 1 and Tosca Disc 2, instead of Tosca Disc 1 and Puccini Tosca Disc 2 or some other variation on the title. It makes for grouping them in ... Read More

This 2 disc set contains audio selections from the popular TV series, new appearing on PBS Digital Channel 3 (Create TV). The series opens with an original violin concert piece composed by Paul Terracini, played by Niki Vasilakis. It is a haunting theme.

9.Essential Puccini from: Decca August 14, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.30
This compilation is a great introduction to puccini's music, It has all of puccini's most popular numbers and the singers are some of the greatest opera stars of the 20th century. Just look at the names: Pavarotti, te kanawa Freni,caballe, Tebaldi,Corelli, Sutherland ,bergonzi,ludwig... Leona mitchel isn't as famous as the rest but she sings her two arias beautifully. Pavarotti's "nessun dorma" is the best! highly recommended for opera lovers.

For the most part this recording is fair. The Neapolitan songs are very well done and some of the arias from French opera were very nice. The big disappointment is Nessun Dorma from Turandot. In this aria Di Stefano is horribly flat on the penultimate high note that for many makes this aria so exciting. It would have been best if the producers could have found another aria for the collection.
