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 Chin
Customer Review: Terrific !
A diverse album to give you a sprinkle of the various types of ‘opera’. Every note is pure and lovely, I listen to it all the time ! Highly recommended for anyone just getting into opera. :}
