5.0 out of 5 stars The CD in my collection most loved by friends.., January 2, 2000

By	S. Johnson "S. Johnson" (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This remarkable collection of arias, with consistently high sound quality sound, was my introduction to opera, an addiction that turned feverish. Most singular, however, is the reaction of anyone who hears it. I have had it for 8-9 years and all those friends who wrote down the title have been unable to find it. On a whim, I tried a search on Amazon, and now have a long list of people to call. It is rich, lustrous music, that always leaves me with my arm hairs raised. The ultimate test. Get it and addict your friends, minus the frustration of not having a source for them to find it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful selection of great singing., October 11, 1999

By A Customer

Even if you don't like "Opera Highlights", you probably will love this. Some great artists recorded at their best. Everyone I play it for, goes out and buys the CD.
