THE Opera C.D. for the Opera Illiterate!, April 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Opera goes to the Movies (Audio CD)
If you only buy ONE opera C.D., this is it!!! A compillation of famous highlights from operas we all know we've heard before (but might not know where to find them again). Some of my favorites: #3Puccini's Turandot-"Nessun Dorma", #4 Delibes: Lakme-Viens Malika...Dome Epais, #5 Puccini's La Boheme-Quando M'en vo. All treasures.
Of course, there are a few selections that break the otherwise romantic, thought-provoking and quiet-whistful mood the rest of the C.D. creates: all selections that are symphony-only, such as #8 Wagner" Die Walkure - the thunder-crashing sound of the ride of the Valkyries, ever famous but disruptive.
In spite of the few objections, this is a C.D. well-worth having! (Everyone who's heard my copy buys one for themselves) Makes a GREAT gift, too.

A great compilation, January 9, 2006
This review is from: Opera goes to the Movies (Audio CD)
As the other reviewer noted, I bought my copy of this after hearing someone else's and I had to have one of my own. A great gift, too. We gave this to people for Christmas one year with a couple of DVDs of the films (Prizzi's Honor among them). Highly recommended.
