3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you like Opera, February 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: More Mozart for Mothers-to-Be (Audio CD)

I received this CD as a gift and was very disappointed to discover it was opera. I have other CD's of Mozart's music that are instrumental and very soothing. If you like opera then it may be a good choice for you, but if you are like me and don't care for opera you are probably better off sticking to an instrumental collection.

I have been a fan of classical music for 15 years, but have had little success finding opera I enjoy. This CD is all opera, and I have enjoyed every song.

This review is from: More Mozart for Mothers-to-Be (Audio CD)

The review by the previous listener who was, dissapointed that this recording, received as a gift, is opera was apparently looking for "soothing" music (possibly elevator music)to put her and possibly her child-to-be to sleep. I agree - if jello is what you seek, do not purchase this disc. If, on the other hand, you seek passion, beauty, and possibly a widening of your musical horizons, do, by all means, purchase this disc. Soaring arias, heavenly voices and the most lovely music imaginable await you. Still, Richard Clayderman and Britney Spears are available to you and your unfortunate child.
