5.0 out of 5 stars She does "O Mio Babbino Caro" beautifully., July 22, 2000
I first heard Kiri Te Kanawa doing "O Mio Babbino Caro" at the beginning of the movie "A Room with a View." Beautiful! I have never been able to track down that rendition but this one is as good. She also does a wonderful job of the Verdi piece from La Traviata.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brava Diva!, October 21, 2006
By Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sings some of her most famous pieces on this 1983 compilation album from CBS Masterworks. Most of the recordings date between 1979-1983, with no real variance in sound quality, and the disc is offered at a bargain price. Real vintage Kanawa, simply superb.

Dame Kiri performs the "Der Kleine Sandmann" from Humperdinck's "Hansel und Gretel"; "Mi Tradi" from Mozart's "Don Giovanni"; and "Vissi D'Arte" from Puccini's "Tosca". Also featured are pieces from Walton, Faure, Verdi and Schubert among others.

If you are just beginning to collect Dame Kiri recordings, or are confused where to begin, this CD is a good place to start.

[CBS Masterworks/Columbia MK 39208]

5.0 out of 5 stars a heavenly voice, September 25, 2002
By PARTHO ROY "Sir Fopling" (Tampa, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is one of the most talented opera singers of today. She delivers vocal justice to every track on this recording, especially such favorites as "O Mio Babbino Caro" and "Vissi d'arte." Her range is superb and her emotional expression is full of compassion. After hearing this CD, you will no longer think of opera as fat ladies trouncing around in helmets. Quite the contrary, these arias are simply sublime.
