5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo!, July 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Italian Album (Audio CD)
I heard this album for the first time at a restuarant in Florence during my trip to Italy. I was surprised it was from the US beacause it has captured the very soul of Italy. After 7 years it has remained my favorite of all Puccini cds I own. I especially like the fact that it is instumental and can be played for many occassions. It never fails to stir the wanderlust for a trip back to Italy! A must for every romantic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding compilation of the Italian classics,, May 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Italian Album (Audio CD)
I have been a music lover for years. This CD introduced some Italian music to me that I was not familiar with. I listen to this music very often...it is almost theraputic in effect. I have never heard more beautiful music together on one CD. You won't regret getting this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Graceful background music, May 31, 2008
By J. P. McCarty (Highland Park, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Italian Album (Audio CD)
Elegant, soothing and graceful. I recently moved into a work-at-home situation and had to get away from my rock-and-roll standards if I were to get any work done. I find the rich sounds of this album perfect for me. It isn't distracting and seems to steer my creative energies effortlessly. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album
This was a wonderful album, especially for those interested in romantic music. It made an excellent anniversary gift.
Published 12 months ago by Larry Gevirtz

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is well worth your time
I am especially fond of the Good Humored Ladies track on this CD. That particular track is worth the entire CD since it came from an LP published in the 1970s. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I was looking for dinner music
I place a high priority to the selections made for my dinner party, and although this is still a good CD, it did not meet my expectations to play for dinner guests. Read more
