You don't know what you're missing.......2004-03-07

I hesitated to buy this one because I already own three D'Alessio cd's and I was afraid I'd be disappointed. I wasn't. I don't know the Italian language well enough to really translate the lyrics but I can understand some of the content - enough to get by. However, as music is the true universal language, his voice and the arrangements are enough to offer the listener sheer joy! They make me smile every time I hear them. Hmmmm! I wonder what it is about these Neapolitan "cantautori." Is it something they eat or the luscious part of Italy they come from?

FASCINATING: DISCOVER A RARELY PLAYED GEM.......2006-11-03

I completely disagree with the previous reviewer. I found this CD extremely enjoyable. These are really abridged versions of both operas: Auber's Fra Diavolo (in italian, originaly in French) and Donizetti's La Figlia del Reggimento (in Italina, though orignal also in French).
First of all, even though "La Figlia" was written originaly in French (Le Fille du Regiment), until 2 or 3 decades ago it was mostly known and played in the Italian version. The French version has been appearing more often since the 60s and 70s, a great example of the French opera comique, a form mastered by Donizetti.
Auber's Fra Diavolo was an amazing discovery for me. Auber was one of the most popular composers in 19th Century Paris. His operas are very lively and beautifully melodic He was a master of the opera comique format, and even of french grand opera (his 'La Muette de Portici' is considered the first well-defined example of the grand opera form). Fra Diavolo can be compared with Rossini's comic operas, only that in a french style. The arias and ensembles are richly melodic and quite interesting. The opera made me a fan of Auber, and made me find out more about his work. I was only familiar with "la Muete" (a serious opera). But he might have been better suited for the "opera comique" format. 'Manon Lescaut', 'Le Domino Noir', 'Le Cheval de Bronze' are just a few examples of his comic operas. They are gems that in recent decades have been rediscovered and good recordings of them do exist (available here on Amazon).
I would really recommend any fan of Rossini, Donizetti and other composers of opera buffa to buy this CD. Do get it, give it a chance. It will introduce you to a new and just as fascinating comic opera form. It is fascinating to notice the influence of Rossini and italian opera buffa in general, but then you can also tell that they are also very french at the same time. Just like me i am sure you will end up being a fan of french oprea comique, and maybe even also exploring other of the opera comic composers, such as Adams, Offenbach, Messager, Boieldieu, Gretty and many more.

Four High C's?.......2006-03-07

If you want a very truncated version of Donizetti's "Daughter of the Regiment" sung in Italian (original is in French), with the famous tenor aria, which should contain 9 high C's, cut in half (thus only 4 high C's are sung) then by all means get this two CD set.....but why would you? I wouldn't even call this a highlights CD, as so many of the selections are truncated. Despite some nice singing and orchestral playing, this recording is to be avoided. Not the genuine article. Oh yeah, there also is Auber's "Fra Diavolo" on disc one if you care....I didn't.

Stupendo! Meraviglioso!.......2003-10-12

Listening to this cd in your car could be hazardous because you can expect to be transported....D'Alessio's voice and the music are gorgeous. I don't understand much Italian but his renditions need no translation. I also own some earlier cd's: "Il Cammino dell'eta" and "Passo doppo passo," which are great. I'm happy to report that Gigi ed i suoi musicisti sono piu buono." Wait until you hear "Non adiarmi mai."

Gigi D'Alessio at his BEST!.......2003-04-02

This album is one if not the best album Gigi D'Alessio has ever put together. I recently saw him in concert to promote this CD and he a spectacular performer. His talent is incredible. I recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates Gigi and his musical ability. He is a wonderful artist, and this album is unbelievable
