4.0 out of 5 stars An odd assortment of "Love???" songs...but it's still good!, September 26, 2007
This is one incredibly diverse collection cd of songs that are about "love"....hmmm....well,be that as it may,these are the top singers and musicians of our times and each track is well performed and well recorded.Special mention,though, must go to track 20,"Pur Ti Miro" by Claudio Monteverdi.Dana Blanchard and Sylvia McNair melt me with their rendition of this famous Renaissance love song.Their voices are perfect complements to each others. I don't understand the placing of the Scarlatti "Pastorale" Sonata, though, in this collection.Highly recommended for the price and quality.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good quality recording but arguable selection, August 5, 2000
I'm afraid I cannot rate this CD with more than 3 stars because although the recording quality of this edition is quite good by nowadays standards, the selection of the music does not reflect its title. I was expecting more "well known" tunes, more classical styles represented.
