Valuable compendium.......2007-01-24

This set is extremely valuable, not only as an overview of Dame Joans career but because it contains three complete LP sets that have been very hard to find. The sets are the 2 LP French opera (operetta) set, the Mozart album and the Wagner album. Although some of these do not show her to her best advantage (the Wagner set) they all have some very beautiful things and the French items are superb. The annotations and photos are interesting as well and there are some piano songs with Bonynge that are released here for the first time along with a scene from a live Covent Garden Norma.

Rareties available on CD at last!.......2006-03-29

While Joan Sutherland has recorded a number of impressive aria collections throughout the many years of her recording career, they tend to get lost in the shuffle of the countless reissues Decca/London has endlessly repackaged. While some of the original collections have appeared intact on CD--"The Art of the Prima Donna," "The Age of Bel Canto," "Love Live Forever" (her operetta collection that was originally titled "The Golden Age of Operetta"), to name a few--others are currently represented in the CD catalogue by only a few selections on discs that also include excerpts from complete opera recordings or duplicates of selections from other original collections. As a result, it has been impossible to assemble a CD collection of her recordings without a LOT of duplication, and some of the most interesting collections are still unavailable (e.g. "Command Performance" and "Serate Musicale").

While this newest set does include a lot of bits of this and that, ranging from her very first LPs to excerpts from complete recordings most Sutherland fans already have and a few "live" performances, what is perhaps most significant about it is that it features the complete contents of the "Sutherland Sings Wagner" LP--a real repertoire departure for her--and the double-LP album called "French Opera Gala" (in the U.S.--the British title was "Romantic French Arias"), neither of which, to the best of my knowledge, has been available on CD before. "Opera News" magazine once ran an article in which they asked various stars to name the one album that they felt best represented their artistry for future generations, and Dame Joan selected the "French Opera Gala," so for Sutherland fans, this is a long-awaited treat.

I'm not going to waste space saying how miraculous I consider Dame Joan's artistry. If you are familiar with her work already, you know whether you adore her or not; and if you aren't, this massive set is probably not the best place to start (that would be "The Art of the Prima Donna" album that introduced her to most listeners decades ago)--especially since this newest set doesn't contain the lyrics, a must for newcomers. Let's hope Decca/London gets around to releasing the rest of her recordings intact instead of endlessly scrambling and repackaging the same selections over and over.

Heavenly.......2006-01-31

I first heard of Dame Sutherland while on the internet while listening to a internet radio station. I was instantly a fan, her control, technique, and tone is perfectly executed and rivals the equally fantastic Maria Callas. She has a powerful voice and presence that will evoke every emotion from her listeners. Highly recommended to all Opera Diva fans.

WHO ELSE CAN SING LIKE THIS TODAY?.......2005-04-10

This is Decca's second multi disc evaluation of this fantastic singer's long career and many recordings. True that a lot on the first set is duplicated here, but there are a few exceptions here and there that make it a worthy addition. Of particular interest are the very early items of Handel and Italian baroque arias, some forgotten song recordings and a live performance of the duet from Norma. It can't be said too many times - who can sing like this today? For sheer vocalism it's hard to find anyone on the same wavelength. This set will give very young opera goers an idea of what they missed.

Beyond all description..........2006-09-19

As a boy, I heard so many hyperbolic references to the legendary Enrico Caruso that I chose to purchase a remastered copy of his "Greatest Hits" when I first began to acquire recordings as a young man. Soon after, I discovered Pavarotti and my life was changed by his music. Caruso ended up in the Goodwill Store. I am convinced that in 500 years, should the earth cool again and the Muslim hoards abate, the civilized world will still tell tales of the greatest tenor. I have often found myself grumpy when searching for recordings of Pavarotti because of the inconsistent fidelity of the recordings. That search for the definitive Pavarotti recordings, regarding both content and fidelity, has ended with the release of this extraordinary collection. Worth it's weight in gold, the Puccinni Volume (#5) alone is enough to send someone like me into hyperspace. I am astounded by the beauty and power of these performances. I will always remember the day, not long ago, when a NPR commentator glibly mentioned between the weather and the night's playlist the terrible words, "Luciano Pavarotti has announced that he is retiring from Opera." I felt as if something indescribably beautiful was fading from the world. Of course, beauty in all of its earthly forms is fleeting at best, but these discs contain a reflection of it that will surely bolster any soul.

An Absolute Must-Have for Any Pavarotti Fan.......2004-01-09

...and that certainly goes without saying. My one tiny little problem with it is that his recordings of "Santa Lucia" and "Caruso" are not on this incredible box-set. Even though I have those recordings on other CDs, I still think those are very important pieces to include on this set (assuming that this set of Pavi hits would be the only compilation that that any fan of this phenomenal tenor would have). He is probably my biggest idol, and he deserves to have been one of the biggest opera stars in history.

Wonderful!!!!.......2002-11-07

This Pavarotti set; The Pavarotti Edition; is a wonderful collection of Arias and songs that cover Luciano's great career. Pavarotti is THE Voice of the 20th Century and this set does him justice. It includes 10 CDs with over 750 minutes of music; Includes Music from All of His roles; has a beautiful 76 page full color booklet; Has a wonderful write up; and includes a bonus CD of Pavarotti's fist album, a 45, from 1964, which has never been released on CD before this set.

POSSIBLY PAVAROTTI'S MOST BEAUTIFUL RECORDING.......2006-03-29

I've never been an admirer of Luciano Pavarotti. Yes, it was a great voice, and certainly the sound was without equal in his time. That said, I was always turned off by the Madison Avenue type of packaging he allowed himself to be promoted by. Moreover, his habitual and constant repetition of the same Italian repertoire over and over, coupled by his ungainly and eventually grotesque appearance --- all in blatant contrast to the amazing musical range of Placido Domingo ---- sunk him for me in the late 1970's. This recording, however, is a standout. The "arie antiche" he sings here are all very, very beautifully done. These Italian "art songs" were used by singers in the early part of the 19th century to perfect and refine their vocal skills in preparation for a career in the operatic bel canto literature. These songs are very difficult. They have long lines, which must be sung softly and with great control. If a singer has a problem with their technique, these songs will expose these problems without mercy. Pavarotti had all the beauty of tone and breath control essential to make these songs thrive. Pavarotti uses his voice here as a master violinist would use his violin in virtually every selection presented here. For anyone who values great singing, this disc is a must. Pavarotti die-hards will probably already own it. It's one of a kind. Also a little sad that this great tenor allowed himself to undergo his metamorphosis from artist to media buffoon.

One of his earliest and BEST!!.......2005-11-05

This is my favorite Pavarotti recording. I wore out the LP of this concert decades ago.... Wonderful program of Italian songs from Scarlatti and Handel through Respighi and Tosti. My favorite are the three Respighi songs. Don't miss this one, or you'll miss one of the very best!

Remarkable........2002-02-01

A great example of Luciano's control over his art. Tranquil, beautiful and wonderful. "Donlente immagine di Fille mia" is worth the price of the cd itself. Pavarotti at his best!

Although a few signs of wear, a very good buy. Get it!!.......2001-09-16

Luciano Pavarotti sings his occassional program of arias and songs. His singing is very good. He is 65 and - despite his hair dye - he looks it. So his days as a performer are clearly numbered now.

However the title is very misleading. It is not a live recital; it's MANY live recitals, as this album is a collection of about four or five different recitals. The voice is recorded very close to the speakers, as if he were trying to cover the movement from one place to another. it also is obvious that Leone Magiera (the acompanist) plays four or five different pianos, none of them really the highest quality.

Overall, a wonderful gift for a Pavarotti nut (if you can get through the piano playing). Go ahead and buy it now. You will make Amazon smile and - trust me - you will be smiling to. Is there no better recomandation then this?

The Golden Years Of Pavarotti.......2001-03-29

First I would like to say that I am very happy to see a solo release of NEW recordings from the great Pavarotti. I liked the program very much and I was glad to see him include songs that he had not previously commercially recorded. What gets me is that this Live Recital is not just one recital he recorded. This is a compilation of recorded songs and arias from four different recitals in four different years and four different opera houses ranging from 1997 to 2000. To me a true recital recording is one performance and speaks volumes on how an artist connects with his/her audience. But on the other hand the singing here is fantastic and those who want more new projects of Pavarotti (including me)won't be disappointed. This is a must for Pavarotti fans and tenor fans alike and please Maestroo Pavarotti, more new projects!!

Galante is not all that.......2002-11-14

I was very disappointed in this CD, especially after reading two 5 star reviews. The musical selections are great, but Galante's vocal tone is very inconsistent. Not only did it sound as if she was singing in an echo chamber, her singing fluctuated between the back of her throat and her nose. If you are looking for a CD to demonstrate good vocal technique, look elsewhere.

Inessa just gets better and better.......2001-10-02

Let's hope this CD is back in stock soon, as no lover of great voices would want to be without it.

I loved Galante on both the Debut and Encore CDs, but here she is nothing short of sensational. Her marvellously seductive soprano has never sounded better than on this 1999 recording, and her vocal technique is faultless. For a prime example of the latter, try the Caccini Ave Maria for which she is justly famous. Galante tops her own celebrated recording! Her vocal agility (along with new-found colours in the voice) will astound listeners.

Unlike her earlier version, the Ave Maria, along with the remainder of the CD, is beautifully arranged in the appropriate period setting. The London Musici provide marvellous support throughout, and the sound is excellent.

There are so many highlights that it seems unnecessary to single any one track out. But I will say that the Ave Maria and Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga are worth the price of the CD alone.

If you only want to own one Inessa Galante CD, then this is the one to go for.

Pergolesi is so perfect!.......2000-07-20

I have always loved the Pergolesi Suite but here it is perfected! Dont get me wrong.....the rest of the cd is excellent but Stabat Mater is the highlight. This cd is a must have and wont end up being a substitute for a coaster!

Review by a student of opera.......2000-11-17

This re-edition of Jochen Kowalski's first CD is a 'must have' for fans of opera seria and anyone seriously studying classical opera. One of my favourite CDs, it includes the only available recording of some arias, all of which are boisertous and tuneful. Kowalski, whose voice at this stage possessed a far greater beauty than even that of David Daniels, sings with youthful energy, dramatic integrity and an obvious expertise in the repertoire. All of the arias are well within his vocal abilities, the only crticism of his singing being a tendency to sound weaker in the lower vocal register. There are some real gems among the arias including those by Graun and Agricola. If you want to hear a first-rate, operatic alto, without the reediness of most other countertenors, then this recording is definitely for you. (Plus, you get a nice handsome photo of JK as well!)

I could not agree more.......2006-07-08

It's been seven years since this ordeal. I'm really sorry that all of you bought this recording without realizing what you were getting. Please know that it was not my idea. I was a 17 year-old kid with little training and very poor guidance. Honestly, when I realized how I'd been taken and manipulated, I required counseling and it took years to get over it. I would give anything to go back in time and undo this...but unfortunately I cannot and it is the ghastly skeleton in my closet. Please know that I am light years beyond this now because I actually went to school and got a formal education in vocal performance.

What is this ?.......2006-03-05

I ran across Rosemary's rendition of "Vaga Luna" incidentally, on musicnow.com and the first thing I could think of was "this is not true".
In one short line ... it took months to forget that "sound".

Wow, i've never heard the likes...........2006-02-28

This album is pure entertainment. I too am a pre-professional opera singer at a major conservatory and it was an accident that I rean across this recording, on Rhapsody musis service no less. I really hate to laugh at bad singing because I know how hard it is to get up in front of people. But, when you make a recording and put it out there...beware. Your public will respond and this one is a dud. Sorry!

How sad.......2006-01-23

What a shame... I cannot find a single thing of musical value on this album. I'd use the CD for target practice, but it already has a whole in the middle, so it is not even useful for that. Whatever person submitted the first several reviews on this site is either disingenuous or deaf....

Holy Puccini.......2005-10-31

I just listened to parts of this CD, and may I just say, holy lord. This singer is obviously not ready for the repertoire selected (Una voce poco fa?! wtf?!!), but also obviously needs time to work on some sense of smooth legato, pitch, and connection in the voice. I think the largest crime is on the hands of whatever teacher she is studying with who allowed her to do this CD. I would like to find out who she studies with and warn people against this apathetic nutcase. Bless her heart, she seems to have a spirit for singing, but she also has an untimely warble, an unattractive sense of italian diction, and a lack of beautiful breath. It is obviously not her fault, someone isn't steering her in the direction of good singing and good rep for her level-or advising her on what is tactful and elegant. I am a vocal student at the University of Idaho, and my 16 year old voice student has a better sense of total connection than Rosemary. This was something that should have never been made and I think it sad.
