Music reviews of The #1 Opera Album
Music Review: Opera introduction for everyone
Rating: 5 Stars
This ablum of the major arias from the leading composers of 18th and 19th century opera is a good introduction and review both for the beginner and frequent opera goer. The recording quality is excellent and includes the work of most major performers of the 20th century Only the arias from some of the Strauss operas are not represented in this album.
Description of The #1 Opera Album
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 Cecilia Bartoli, Ren?e Fleming, Luciano Pavarotti, Kiri Te Kanawa, Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, and many more. Yet the other key to a successful compilation is canny anthologizing, and here again, you have a nice selection to give you a smattering of opera's heavyweights from the Italian, German, and French repertory (there's even a step outside the standard framework with an aria from Dvor?k's lovely Rusalka). Ranging from 1959 to 1997, the choices from back catalogue will doubtless be the entry ticket for many into this grandest of the arts. --Sarah ChinGeneral CDs
