5.0 out of 5 stars a complimentary adition to an existing collection, December 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ultimate Opera Collection ~ Domingo, Te Kanawa, Carreras, Caballé, Baker and other great singers (Audio CD)

This C.D. compliments my collection nicelly, where it has a song I already have, it is by a different artist, orchestra or conductor. It is a very well researched and thought out C.D. I would recomend it to anyone who already loves Opera, and to anyone who is new to Opera. It has a wonderfull variety and is very high quality. Volume II of this series is equally worthwhile I might add, I bought them both on a whim, and have not been sorry.

Not only is this a great collection of titles and singers but this is an outstanding recording. In cases where I have a duplicate of one of the songs on another CD, the audio quality of this is always far superior. Even my copy Carmen cannot compete in terms of sound quality.
