4.0 out of 5 stars Great selection, needs some cleaning up., July 4, 2000

This review is from: 20 Great Sopranos Sing 20 Great Arias 1902-42 (Audio CD)

This is a collection that probably cannot be found anywhere else. Some of these Golden Age singers I have never heard before! Unfortunately, Pearl does not seem as concerned with sound quality as some other labels. Still, the sound is not bad considering the age of the recordings (Patti in 1901, for example), especially on the pieces with piano accompaniment.

A valuable glimpse into the singers of that time.

The songs are interesting, but the recording quality is worse than I expected. Many songs sound like they're from a 78 record stored in a dusty place.
