The labels that are now gathered under the Universal Classics umbrella have a pretty impressive scorecard in the area of classical compilations. We’ve seen The Greatest Opera Show on Earth, The Yellow Guide: Classical Music, Best of the Millennium, and now there’s The No. 1 Opera Album. But that’s no surprise, since Universal has some of the finest interpreters in its catalogue to draw from. This two-CD set (at the price of one), for example, brings together the likes of Cec… More >>

This is an excellent CD. The versions chosen of the songs are in general quite excellent. In fact, I am getting married in about a month and we are using several of the songs from this CD in the ceremony. The ONLY real complaint I have about this CD is that there is ENTIRELY too much Pavoratti (sp?) on it. I would have liked a bit more variety in the male singers department. Although I do enjoy Pavoratti in general, there are some songs and parts of songs where he sounds like a cat being dragged around a room (sorry Pavi fans!). Otherwise- EXCELLENT. Two thumbs up!

The movements in this collection move Me as much as My very bowel. Hence, it might work for your too. Try it, you’ll like it if you want to be moved to your very “soul”.

If you look at this CD’s description, you will find many famous names of singers, conductors, and orchestras. It’s a good CD, but it was not great like I expected. I believe they could do better work. For example, La Donna Mobile (CD1, #9)is by Pavarotti and London symphony. Pavarotti is fine in this piece, but the orchestra(maybe because of the conducter) is not good enough. Therefore, it sounds very boring. And also Toreador song(CD2 #16) doesn’t sound powerful as it supposed to be (boring). If you’re looking for FINE opera music, you’ll be satisfied with this one and actually it’s pretty cheap for 2CDs. But if you’re expecting more than that, you should probably buy other CDs.
