I love this fine selection of Puccini's best loved arias. The peroformances are all great especially Felicia Weathers as Madam Butterfly. I play this CD a lot and have never tired of it.

This is a very nice sample of Puccini's music. The songs selected for this CD provide a good overview of Puccini's best known works and the performances are first rate. It is a great place to start if you are interested in exploring Puccini's operas.
