5.0 out of 5 stars gorgeous voice, January 8, 2007

This review is from: Carol Vaness: Mozart: Opera Arias [Opern-Arien / Airs d'Opera] (Audio CD)

What can I say? The arias are executed neatly and artistically, with the perfect blend of orchestra and voice. Ms. Vaness is my favorite soprano; her voice has a beautiful tone, but is very controlled- no wailing or warbling like other sopranos (infinitely superior to the much-overrated Kiri Te Kanawa). The quality of her voice is like a creamy blend of mint and dark chocolate, but the chocolate is neither bitter, nor overly sweet. Too bad she's not in more recordings. Buy this one while you can!

Carol Vaness sings beautifully on this CD. Ms. Vaness started out at California State University Northridge where I first heard her sing. It was "love at first hearing." You'll feel the same way when you hear this Cd! Buy it, you'll be glad you did! Email:boland7214@aol.
