Music reviews of Kiri Te Kanawa sings Verdi and Puccini Arias

Music Review: Greatly improved sound
Rating: 5 Stars

The original CD release of this collection of Verdi & Puccini arias was a major disappointment. On the CBS label, the sound levels were extremely low, and the depth of the sound field extremely limited. Recorded at a time when Te Kanawa's voice was at it's most glorious, and popularised by the use of two of the Puccini arias in the Merchant Ivory film "Room with a View" (Chi il bel sogno di Doretta (La Rondine) & O mio babbino caro (Gianni Schicchi))the CD release was a major disappointment. Sony have thankfully righted this wrong, and with the use of their proprietory Direct Stream Digital (DSD) remastering, the result is a massive improvement. In addition, as the original CD was a bit on the short side, they have included 5 welcome bonus tracks to bring the total time of the disc to a reasonable 69.13 minutes. Admittedly, not all the releases in this series should qualify as "Great Performances", but this is certainly one that does, and a most welcome re-release at a bargain price. Highly recommended. Grab it while you can.
