4 out of 5 stars An Alternative view for moms.......2004-07-15

The review by the previous listener who was, dissapointed that this recording, received as a gift, is opera was apparently looking for "soothing" music (possibly elevator music)to put her and possibly her child-to-be to sleep. I agree - if jello is what you seek, do not purchase this disc. If, on the other hand, you seek passion, beauty, and possibly a widening of your musical horizons, do, by all means, purchase this disc. Soaring arias, heavenly voices and the most lovely music imaginable await you. Still, Richard Clayderman and Britney Spears are available to you and your unfortunate child.

3 out of 5 stars Good if you like Opera.......2004-02-11

I received this CD as a gift and was very disappointed to discover it was opera. I have other CD's of Mozart's music that are instrumental and very soothing. If you like opera then it may be a good choice for you, but if you are like me and don't care for opera you are probably better off sticking to an instrumental collection.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Superlative collection.......2006-10-11

A collection of 100 individual arias and ensembles from the EMI catalogue of complete works recorded between 1955 and 2003. It includes selections from operas by Italian, Austrian, German, Russian and French composers. The French composers are especially well represented unlike most such anthologies. And there are several more obscure contributions, such as an aria from Catalani's La Wally. A well-judged balance of musical periods and styles, and the very best singers of the last half of the last century. And remarkably, the whole collection of 6 CDS, over 7 hours of music, is being sold for the cost of only 1 CD !

5 out of 5 stars Great value for the money.......2006-04-23

This is simply the best collection of opera arias that I have seen. It's not 100% in that there are a few well-known arias that are not here, but what is here is simply a treasure. The organization is a bit strange, but there's some logic. For example, Disk 6 is mostly from French operas. A seemingly endless amount of glorious music. Just fabulous. You won't be disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars Great for the money and a good starter on opera...........2006-01-07

This cd is a splendid collection of songs, and the price is unbeatable; I have but a few minor complaints about the overall product. The cd would have been much more enjoyable if they had put the music in some sort of order, rather than jumping around from artist to artist sporatically. My only other complaint would be that they could have chosen some better vocalists to play some of the songs. For example, in CD 6, track 3: Romeo et Juliette, the singer was not nearly as strong and definative as she should have been and I've definately heard in various other versions that were way better than this. This disappointed me greatly. But even with these few small complaints, this collection is still great and the price is amazing. It includes MOST of the famous opera pieces, as well some great songs that are often overlooked such as the beautiful song from Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg (CD 6, track 16) along with others.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Value.......2005-08-23

I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection. It captures many of the great operatic voices in stellar performances spanning the last 50 years. If you are enchanted by beautiful operatic highlights, removed from their operatic storylines, this set is for you. Hours of gorgeous music for practically pennies!

5 out of 5 stars "Simply a Stunner".......2006-07-21

Ideal for an opera lover, or for anyone who loves gorgeous singing. I am an opera nut and was introduced to this one by accident; "Au gond du temple saint" from Pearl Fishers (selection #6, disc one) was playing on the stereo in the Metropolitan Opera giftshop when I walked in at intermission one night. I thought it was so stunning I bought my first copy of the CD then and there; and have bought 2 other "back-up copies" since then, as well as having it on my iPod.

4 out of 5 stars Good choice for opera lovers........2001-08-16

If you are in search of a cd containing various popular pieces from the greatest operas in the world, then search no more. This cd contains classic operatic pieces, sung by some of the most talented tenors and sopranos out there, including Placido Domingo. Madame Butterfly's Un Bel Di and Turandot's Nessun Dorma are, without a doubt, two of the most emotional and dramatic songs ever composed. Fortunately, this inexpensive two cd set includes those songs and many more. This cd is a delight to own, whether or not you've ever attended an opera.

    3 out of 5 stars Enthusiasm, characterization, but rough edges. . . ........2007-04-25

    The liner notes to this CD observe that Leyla Gencer has "a cadre of fans [who have] always rooted for her devotedly." The notes go on to say that "Her voice was not large, nor her production absolutely even; but she compensated for these liabilities with many other talents."

    Uneven is a good term to describe her singing. . . . Let's take a look at a couple "cuts" from this CD. From Bellini's "Norma," she sings "Sediziose voce. . .Casta diva." Hers is not a lovely voice, although there is a richness to it. She has a heavier tone than other singing the repertoire. There are harsh edges to her voice. She does transmit a sense of the character.

    She also sings ""Egli e spento" from Donizetti's "Belisario." Again, there are genuinely rough edges to her singing, although she does serviceable work. She just does not seem "ready for prime time." Coloratura technique is minimal across the various cuts--including this one. She does hit a nice high note at the end of this aria.

    From "Maria Stuarda," by Donizetti, she sings "Figlia impure di Bolena." She shows the emotions of Maria Stuarda nicely. Still, vocal qualities are not very attractive. Her voice is also overwhelmed by the orchestra at times. Once more, little coloratura technique. Nice high note at the end, but her voice does not soar.

    From Donizetti's "Anna Bolena," Gencer sings "Come innocente giovane." Her singing here is animated, but vocal qualities a bit uneven. Finally, from the same opera, she sings "Piangete voi?. . .Al dolce guidami." There is some coloratura technique here, although not outstanding.

    So, what to make of Leyla Gencer? She sings enthusiastically; she provides a sense of the character. But somehow, from what I hear, her voice and technique are not up to the task of providing excellent renderings of the works selected for this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-04-06

    I can't say enough about Leyla Gencer. A star who was exciting as Callas yet easier to listen to. Enjoy what recordings you can find. They are sparse! Though we can delight in some wonderful voices in 2005, this lady can't be beat. Don't know anyone like her today.

    5 out of 5 stars Bel Canto Heroine.......2004-07-09

    Gencer's story is one of the most interesting of opera during the 20th century. How is it possible that, during the "bel canto revival" of the 50's and 60's, one of its very few specialists was never offered a recording contract? As Gencer states in an interview given recently, the reason may be that the American recording companies only wanted a "voce pura." Although technically speaking, Gencer ranks with the very best, she did have some peculiarities in her voice that you have to develop a taste for. In this regard, she reminds me much of Raina Kabaivanska, a celebrated Butterfly with a cult following in Italy who barely made a splash here in the U.S.

    A little known fact is that, had Gencer been available when Marilyn Horne pulled out of the AOS production of Lucrezia Borgia, Montserrat Caballe would have been denied her overnight rise to international stardom (though it is safe to say it would have come sooner or later).

    Here, on Disc 1, you have a sampling of some of Gencer's bel canto forays. Unfortunately, most were recorded in the late sixties, when she was moving past her prime. To have an idea of the youthful Gencer, listen to the two selections from Anna Bolena that appear at the end of the CD. However, even a little past her prime, Gencer enthralls you with her varied gifts. Like Callas, she had a fiery temperment, best captured on the finale to Medea, included here, as well as "Deh, non volerli" from Norma, which is truly heart-rending. However, unlike Callas, she knew that fire-and-brimstone should not be turned on all the time, which is why she also developed a wonderful pianissimo, like Caballe. Just listen to the long, long pianissimo she floats at the end of "Sediziosi voci."

    Although never allowed to rise to the level of fame of Callas, Sutherland, Caballe, and Sills, Gencer was and is an integral part of bel canto singing, and the current interest in live recordings will ensure that her legacy is not forgotten.

    5 out of 5 stars Queen of Pirates.......2004-06-02

    Leyla Gencer is a lesser known soprano who was often compared to maria callas and able to not only hold her own during an era of Tebaldi and Caballe but to excell. You will find with Gencer the full diva package. Here we have a voice which is distinctive and expressive. Gencer makes full use of all the shades and power of her instrument to bring her charcters to life. She is a coluratura dramatic in the truest sense. Though she didn't possess the well rounded and full beauty of tone that tebaldi did.. her sound is pleasant and can be quite beautiful. Especially in her piani and pianissimo we are treated to exceptionally beautiful notes. Her style of singing is quite similar to Caballe, though gencer did come first and single handedly caused the return of many Donizetti and other bel canto composers back to the forefront of opera. Before there was Sills great queens- we had Gencer. We are treated to a Norma, Macbeth, and Medea all in the same league as Callas with a less flawed sound. Although Gencer was never able to match callas' expressive nuances or acting genius.. fans will no doubt come to hold gencer in their hearts as well. This inexpensive disc provides a good intro to one of the greatest and least known divas of our times. Gencer remains the queen of the Pirates- no commercial recordings yet able to be one of the best represented singers on disc thanks to her pirated performances.

    5 out of 5 stars Royal cat fight (II).......2006-01-11

    Source: Live recording made in Paris on March 26, 1972.

    Sound: Pretty good 1970s live mono. The French audience is generally well-disciplined, except for one or two spectacularly ill-timed and unwelcome coughs. At appropriate places, their applause and cheers are pleasingly enthusiastic.

    Format: Disk 1, Act I, tracks 1-6; Act II, tracks 7-14. Disk 2, Act III, tracks 1-11.

    Cast: Elisabetta, Regina d'Inghliterra - Michele Vilma Menendez; Maria Stuarda, Regina di Scozia - Montserrat Caballe; Roberto, Conte di Leicester - Jose Carreras; Lord Guglielmo Cecil - Enrique Serra; Anna Kennedy - Ruth Bezinian; Giorgio Talbot - Maurizio Mazzieri. Conductor: Nello Santi with the Lyric Orchestra and Chorus of the ORTF.

    Documentation: No libretto. Track list does not show timings or identify singers. Short synopses of the history of the opera and its plot. (The cover portrait shows an attractive, if stolid young woman. She is painted in a magnificently rendered gown that is both provincial and out-of-fashion. The lady is not Mary, Queen of Scots, but a member of the previous generation, Anne of Cleves. She had married Henry VIII, survived both the marriage and the man, and by a remarkable piece of Parliamentary double-think became in English law both a princess of England and Henry VIII's "sister." Contemporary references to Anne insist on her lack of beauty, while Mary's contemporaries regarded her as gorgeous. Oddly, all the portraits show Anne to be quite good-looking and Mary to be rather plain.)

    This is a historical opera that in good Nineteenth Century style, rides roughshod over mere, dreary factual verisimilitude. It is based on a play by Schiller, that same bright spark who perpetrated a play in which Joan of Arc dies heroically after a final success on the battlefield (set very effectively to music by Verdi as "Giovanna d'Arco.")

    The heart of the play, occupying Act II of the opera, is an extended scene in which the two queens meet and trade insults while Lord Leicester, the true and loyal lover of the Queen of Scots, looks on ineffectually. It hardly needs to be said that all this is what we here in the Frozen North call pure bumph. Dramatic potential notwithstanding, there is not a shred of evidence that such a meeting ever took place. Considering Queen Bess' habitual avoidance of irretrievable decisions, even to the point of refusing to name a successor, it is probable that such a meeting was never even given serious consideration.

    And Leicester as the true lover of Mary Stuart? Not a chance! Leicester, although not highest in feudal rank, was the premiere nobleman in Elizabeth's glittering court. He was a true denizen of the Renaissance, a complex mixture of ability, self-interest, chivalry and deviousness. It is true that there had been some plans on the part of Elizabeth to advance him, willy-nilly, to serve as a consort to Mary when she still ruled in Scotland. The Queen eventually sent an Anglo-Scottish noble named Darnley instead. Young Darnley married Mary Stuart, fathered James VI of Scotland (who would eventually become James I of England), jealously slew a favorite of the Queen of Scots and, in return, got himself gorily slaughtered--just another ordinary Renaissance career. Leicester, throughout, had his eyes on a higher thing, the hand of Queen Elizabeth, herself. He never achieved it, but his maneuverings may--or may not--have included the murder of his inconvenient wife along the way.

    Turning from history to opera, I believe that I can safely say that I hold a minority view when I state that I prefer the comedies of Donizetti to his dramas. As Donizetti's dramas go, however, his 1835 "Maria Stuarda" is top notch, and outshone only by the evergreen "Lucia," also from 1835. "Maria Stuarda" is a two-prima donna extravaganza centered on a knock-down, drag-out, hissing, screaming cat fight between two historic Queens. Honestly, except for a little mud wrestling, what more could anyone want?

    The star of this recording is unquestionably Montserrat Caballe. Opera fans, by their very nature, are prone to nitpick and draw ultra-fine distinctions, to give wholly undue weight to stunt-singing, to trifling trills and interpolated notes flying high above the staff. It is perfectly proper that they should do so, but the detailed analysis (i.e., fault finding) should not obscure the plain fact that Caballe's Maria offers abundant riches of big-time, full-voiced, down-and-dirty, diva singing seldom matched by anyone, anywhere, at any time. Caballe is strongly seconded by Carreras, who gives the audience all that they want and more.

    Caballe and Carreras are in good voice and are captured in good sound in a good opera. These two performers offer singing of such power and beauty that there really isn't any logical rating to give the recording other than five stars.

    Having said that, as an opera fan, myself, I shall now nitpick. This performance is very good, but it remains some steps away from perfection. Brilliant as Montserrat Caballe was, she was always a bit too much of a lady to seize onto the ultimate in characterization. The two queens should work themselves into a frenzy of mutual loathing. Maria sneers at the daughter of Anne Boleyn, calling her "vil bastarda." I can recall restaurants in which waitresses--ahem--wait staff have asked me whether I wanted a cup of coffee with more hostility than Caballe's Maria hurls at Elisabetta.

    José Carreras is a good tenor--a fabulously good tenor--but I always want to shake him and say, "Don't do that!" How I wish I could be his voice coach just long enough to tell him to relax a little. Just look at any video of Carreras. Every muscle in his upper body is tense and his throat is held in absolute rigidity. As he became older, his notes would often come to a too-abrupt close because of that rigidity. Carreras seems to have viewed singing as a job of work to faced manfully and seriously. I have no objection to a good work-ethic, but I hear little or no joy in the man's singing, only an earnestness that shades perilously toward ponderousness.

    Elisabetta, the English Queen, was portrayed by Michele Vilma Menendez. Ms. Menendez was all right in her way, not bad at all, as a matter of fact--but she was clearly not in the class of her two stellar colleagues. Their quite extraordinary abilities made her, I think, sound worse to some reviewers than she really was.

    All that aside, this is a fine recording at a bargain price. Every fan should have it.

    4 out of 5 stars Give and take from Caballe's earlier Stuarda.......2005-08-08

    Caballe's '71 Maria Stuarda (the first Stuarda available by opera d'oro) is my main standard of comparison for this '72 performance. The grand lady is still in good voice despite a couple of awkward high notes (hardly noticeable though). Her portrait of the sad queen is more seductive and a bit self-indulgent this time whereas at La Scala she sounded more innocent and the characterisation came across as more spontaneous. In Paris she is more exciting however. I find both performances good so don't hesitate to listen to either. Shame she didn't do Bolena at this stage of her career.

    What we miss on this recording is a good Elisabetta. Michele Vilma gulps, wobbles and messes up the fioritura throughout the performance. With all these problems there's hardly any room for drama (or more for that matter). I wish Cossotto had considered this part. She would have been an excellent competition for Verrett's very impressive performance at La Scala.

    We've lost a great Elisabetta but at least gained a luxurious Roberto. This Roberto sounds less congenial than Roberto Devereux for the young Carreras but his most handsome voice compensates for any strains. And as always with this tenor, his phrasing is perfect. Mazzieri is a fine, less famous bass who sings with style and stands out from the rest of the cast.

    I found maestro Santi more interesting than Cillario at La Scala but then again, the sound of the Scala performance is inferior to this Paris one (which is very good) so I might have missed some of Cillario's details. Cheap recording, cheap booklet as usual.

    5 out of 5 stars Extremely good!.......2005-03-17

    If you want to buy a Maria Stuarda recording, buy one with Caballe. I really don't understand why it is so underrated. People seam to like only Sills' interpretation, ignoring her way-too-light voice. Opera isn't all E-flats and other high notes. Caballe's only problem is that she can't produce a trill.(But she sang some almost, if not completely authentic trills in L'altra Notte In Fondo Al Mare, which can be found in the Caballe Great Opera Divas Disc.) And I think we can forgive this, regarding all the other qualities. Such refinement, purity, phrasing, pianissimos... Her high notes sound too strident ant caustic to some, but this is very subjective. They are not like the high notes that are generally considered to be beautiful, but in the right context they blend spectacularly: something between singing and screaming, hysteric, and in the same time pure.(High E-flat on the 1979 Stuarda performance on Munich) Some say "...when she gets excited, the result is wild and ugly..." Pity on them. There are different kinds of drama. It is not forbidden to like Callas and Caballe in the same time. Just listen to her "Figlia Impura Di Bolena" and feel the tension!

      Operaphiles in search of the lost art of the bel canto baritone will find a virtual holy grail in the form of Mattia Battistini. Born in 1856, he is the oldest singer of his generation who recorded extensively in his prime. In contrast to the emphatic, overt emotionalism typical of verismo singers, Battistini spins out effortless, lavishly decorated lines, sustained by virtue of prodigious breath control. Introspective phrases are embellished by unexpected accents and flamboyant, dynamic surges, best exemplified in a 1906 group of Ernani excerpts. Highlighting the 1902 Warsaw recordings are a snappy yet restrained "Largo al factotum" and Wagner's song to the Evening Star from Tannhaüser, sung in mellifluous Italian. Romophone's transfers auger well for what promises to be the definitive Battistini edition. --Jed Distler

      5 out of 5 stars For Something Different By Verdi.......2006-01-28

      Giuseppe Verdi once said to a critic who panned the "Anvil Chorus" from IL TROVATORE that he was glad he didn't like it, saw his disdain as an endorsement of the music's validity, and knew that if he gave it to an organ grinder; everyone in Italy would be singing it before long. Verdi was correct. Verdi's genius seems to come not just from knowing how to write music, but how to write music that is both sophisticated and entertaining. For those who love Verdi, this recording will be a gem. It contains a variety of pieces from sacred music, romances, drinking songs and ballads. Each has a charm that allows it to stand alone. Yet listeners will also find chords and tunes that are varied in later Verdi operas.

      The songs are written for piano and voice. Tenor Dennis O'Neill performs the songs with a certain gusto that demonstrates not just his vocal ability, but also his familiarity with Verdi's music. He is accompanied by pianist Ingrid Surgenor. While O'Neill's singing is what listeners notice, it's difficult not to impressed by Surgenor's accompaniment as well.

      This disc is a must for anyone who loves Verdi's music. Since the song cycles of many of the composers are no longer familiar with a general audience, this disc from Naxos will be greatly appreciated by many listeners. It may also be of interest to people who enjoy German lieder of Schubert and Schumann.

        5 out of 5 stars The Mastersinger.......2000-06-24

        If the second half of the 20th Century has musical signs, they must include that phenomenal German singer Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau who dominated the recital and concert halls, the opera stages and the recording studios in a way no other artist has done it, except maybe Leonard Bernstein. In celebration of this great artist's 75th birthday we have here a set which includes the gems of his lieder repertoire, starting with those great Schubert cycles in their most vivid performances. Just listen to those early renditions of the Schone Mullerin or with Jorg Demus, or to Schuman's Dichterliebe cycle (with the same pianist). And you shall not miss the artistry of this most sensitive voice in full volume of Mahler lieder with piano and orchestral songs. And what about the Morike lieder by Hugo Wolf? Well, you shall probably wonder at that special cooperation between the singer and the Russian pianist Svitoslav Richter. It is a performance of lifetime, and so it is with the Wintereise of Schubert with Barnboim at the piano. Those who know the artistry of Fischer-Dieskau and even those who have already other recordings of those great works will not regret having this special set. For the newcomers to this great artist there will be a lot to discover, The music itself, sure, but mainly the art of interpratation. In this alone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau shine high and above all other singers.
