This review is from: Aria: The Finest Sacred & Secular Arias from 1600 to 1800 (Audio CD)

Nearly 4 hours of Baroque and Classical arias on 3 CDs. Like everything else I've heard on the Harmonia Mundi label, the music on these discs is high quality aesthetically and in recording quality. This gem-filled set may be of interest to students of music history, and certainly to anyone who loves aria.
