Customer Reviews:

If you love beautiful voices..........2007-04-30

and passionate singing, you won't be disappointed. While Corelli certainly had his flaws, they are minor in the larger picture of this unique, magnificent force of nature. Then get this set for your friend who thinks Andrea Bocelli is a great tenor.

If you want to know Corelli's art, this is the right CD.......2007-03-10

Franco Corelli had one of the powerful tenor voices of the twentieth century. Think Mario del Monaco with more beauty and grace; think Richard Tucker with a smoother voice. He had annoying touches in his singing, such as those "catches" here and there. But, with Tucker, he is, in my estimation, one of the two most powerful and attention riveting tenors in the past century. Other tenors were more artistic, provided better characterization (think Domingo, Gigli, Pavarotti, Gedda, Caruso, and some others).

But Corelli was a wonder of nature! Some samples: "Ah si, ben mio. . .Di quella pira." If there were an aria made for Corelli, this would be it. His big, rich, powerful voice fits this cut nicely. Not much subtlety here. In "Di quella pira," he hits the high notes in a stentorian manner. There are those mannerisms, but they are so easily forgiven, taking into account that rich, lustrous voice.

"Celeste Aida" is another representative cut. This is a powerful version. Also, note how he goes from forte to piano at the end of this aria. A powerful effect indeed.

Then, there are the twin arias from "Tosca." In "Recondita armonia," his rich voice is well manifest. He exhibits a smooth line in his singing. This is a powerful version of this well known aria. "E lucevan le stele" displays again that rich voice. At one point, he goes from forte to piano in a mesmerizing manner (Who'd have thought it?). His final "la vita" grabs one's attention.

Finally, "Nessun dorma." Well, smoothly, and powerfully sung. The final "vincero" is powerfully rendered, leaving goose bumps on the spine.

This is the very best of Franco Corelli. Those who want to get a sense of the vocal prowess of one of the most powerful tenors of the 20th century should attend to this double CD set.

excellent gift.......2007-02-09

I gave it to my father and he says Its an amazing cd.

Greatest Tenor of This Century!.......2007-02-03

Franco Corelli is the greatest tenor of this century. Although there are many fine tenors including Carlo Bergonzi - no tenor comes close to singing with the pure heart and animal magnetism of Franco Corelli. Surprisingly, he was also quite comfortable with bel canto, listen to the incredible "A te o'cara". I've heard "Nessun Dorma" sung by many excellent tenors and hands down, none can touch the sublime beauty of Corelli's version. This 2cd set of his greatest arias is a wonderful gift for any opera fan. "Recondita Armonia" is my personal favorite. His thrilling vocal beauty and intensity of performance is truly unforgettable.

Ah... Franco :}.......2007-01-10

Such a pleasing voice. I can't believe the clarity and perfection. He was well before my time and others have become more 'popular' since then, but for some reason his voice seems better than the more current singers. I do not know much about opera so I will have to rely only on my own ears. I happily recommend this double album. I like to have it playing on the 5 CD changer with other opera cds, mixing through them...it is a perfect saturday morning accompaniment. enjoy.

The Art of Gigli.......2007-03-09

After Caruso's death, Beniamino Gigli became one of the most renowned tenors in the world. His rich voice well justified his reputation. While some of his mannerisms (the little "cries" and "catches" in his voice) can be a bit overdone, they were not atypical of the time. A few reactions to specific cuts.

"Celeste Aida" from Verdi's opera is smoothly sung; his rich voice serves to good effect. As already noted, the little "cries" are unfortunate, but hardly an issue. His higher notes flow smoothly from lower ones, in a seamless fashion. It would have been nice to hear him try for the piano at the end, but he did not choose to do so. Any way you slice it, a nice version of a glorious aria.

"La donna e mobile" is taken at a rather slow pace. It is smoothly sung but does not really catch the spirit of the wretched Duke. He shows wonderful breath control. This is more a workmanlike than scintillating version. On the other hand, "Che gelida manina" is wonderful. Smooth, elegant singing. A very well done high note. An iconic version.

The twin arias from "Tosca," "Recondita armonia" and "E lucevan le stelle" are very well executed. His rendering of the final "la vita" in the latter aria is, again, noteworthy.

And now for something completely different. . . . "Funiculi funicula" is spritely sung, in good spirits, and it is a lot of fun! Most enjoyable. "O Sole mio," likewise, is well rendered. As previously noted, some "off putting" cries, but the warm, full voice more than makes up for such mannerisms. He does not overpower this song with operatic technique. The end result is most satisfying.

"La danza" befuddled the great Caruso (in his version, his breathing fell apart at one point). But not Gigli. Well sung, good breath control. Bravo Gigli!

Back to opera. . . . "Nessun dorma" is well sung. The vocalization is smooth. Gigli's voice soars over orchestra and other voices. The final "Vincero" rings out.

While this CD is not without some questions, as noted above, it is worth 5 stars for its full portrayal of the work of Gigli. As such, it can be recommended for anyone who wants a comprehensive introduction to this singer.

Gigli Is A Wonderful Singer!.......2006-07-31

It's an honor for me to be "the first" to review this recording for Amazon. As "opera lovers" know, Gigli was "the greatest tenor in the world" for many years after the death of Caruso. If you haven't heard Gigli, a great treat is in store for you! He had "penache" and drama in the way he sang. Plus he had a beautiful tonal quality! I could go on and on but if you "pass this guy up" you'll be missing some beautiful and dramatic singing from a "world class" singing actor.

Besides listening to Gigli on Cd, you'd be doing yourself a favor to buy a movie in which Gigli appears and sings. The movie is called "Non Ti Scordar di Me". I'll try to find it on amazon or from "The Bel Canto Society" and give it a "review" also. It's an "old movie" but it has a VERY touching story, is well acted, and you get to see and hear Gigli which is a great treat since he has been gone for at least 50 years. He "comes alive" in this CD and in the movie. You will "thrill" to the sound of his voice. Enjoy! Email:boland7214@aol.

GREAT COMPILATION.......2003-10-07

This is regarding the correct email adress to chorizo records concerning the BACK TO THE BARRIO compilation cd.the email is chorizomusic2003@yahoo.com Though I Hear this is gonna be a great collection, those of you into the classic latin rock-latin soul sounds of the 70's MUST HAVE THIS CD!! This is a standard right next to Santana. EL CHICANO opened the doors to other great latin rock bands like Santana had done for them. Viva El chicano has great songs like the salsa rock classic El Cayuco,and funky jazz-rock like Viva tirado and Cantaloupe island. Tell her she's lovely is a latin soul/rock classic with great lyrics and and sweet vocals. YOU NEED THIS CD IN YOUR COLLECTION!!

Great latin rock.......2003-10-06

I would like to say that this is a classic album from a classic band. This is the true Chicano sound of the 70's This is a must have. All the songs are great!! look for another latin rock compilation by the name of -Back to the barrio-rare and hard to find Chicano classics on cd. WWW.chorizomusic@yahoo.com

WHAT IS LATIN & SIZZLES? EL CHICANO, OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-08-07

Like Malo, El Chicano is the OTHER 'Santana' type band that needs to be heard by all!!! With a TIGHT rhythm section, haunting melodies, enchanting lyrics, & a BEAT that goes on & on, this CD showcases this amazing, talented Latin 'Superstar' band at their finest!!! A jazz influence lingers throughout - along with gorgeous lyrics. Highlights include 'Viva Tirado', 'Cantaloupe Island', & 'Ahora Si' - but their FINEST masterpiece simply HAS to be the magical & romantic 'Tell Her She's Lovely'!!! And WHAT a MASTERPIECE this song is!!! I love Santana - but 'Tell Her She's Lovely'- (along with the classic Malo song 'Suavecito') - rival ANY hits by the amazing Santana!!! For sheer delight, put this CD, the classic 'Malo' CD, & your favorite Santana CD's & click on 'random play'!!! Now THAT is what we call 'Latin Heaven'!!! ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved these Latin rhythms.......1999-06-06

I was hooked within 30 seconds on the first cut. It has a latin flair that evokes thoughts of Santana and Booker T. I loved it, and I think you will too!!!

Even my kid likes this!.......2005-11-07

This is an amazing collection of songs, all performed with such skill that even my 8-year-old son likes this CD. Brahms and Beatles, Mozart and Ellington, there is something here for everyone. And thank you, thank you, thank you for "Bassoonist's Holiday."

Bassoon Me!.......2004-08-09

I delight in the bassoon! What a unique and great sound, throaty and thrillingly coarse, yet soaring to sound at times like sax, like oboe, like cello, like a bunch of bassoonatics!

This is delightful collection of musical styles played by this innovative and talented quartet. Choosing to select pieces that are not typically of the bassoon repertoire, we go from Waltz to Gershwin to Broadway to Motzart to Lennon/McCartnye to Sibelius to most of us unknowns such as Mitchell Clarke to Duke Ellington.

All played with passion and gusto and excellent tonality, phrasing and tempo.

Bassoon Me again!

Brilliant Bassoonastics.......2003-09-27

This would have to be the best bassoon ensemble cd on the market. The arrangements are stylish and clever, and the performances brilliant! Fraser Jackson must be the most accomplished contrabassoonist I have ever head. This cd is a must for any bassoonists collection be you amateur or proffessional.

OUTSTANDING QUARTET.......2002-04-14

This disc is really superb!!! Not only is the playing at an extremely high level by the group, the arrangements are also outstanding. The Brahms is abolutely beautiful. The group goes from lightning fingers bravura to sweet soulful singing. It is a joy to listen to again and again.

Simply fantastic!.......2001-10-26

I simply love the Caliban Quartet! They breath new life into bassoons! The way they bring out the music is simply magical. Not only do they sound good, their technical abilities are simply amazing!

Who put this together?.......2004-03-19

This is not NOT the best of Jose Carreras. Jose Carreras's best singing was of Verdi in the mid-70's. That is represented by only one track on the Cd, Ah, La Materna Mano... which is excellent.
First comes the tracks from Aida. Since when was Jose Carreras considered a difinitive Radames? Perhaps the fact that Jose Carreras never sang Celese Aida in concert might give us a clue as to why it shouldnt be here. He only ever sang it in the 2 productions of Aida that he sang in (79,80)and he recieved poor and mixed reviews for both. Point blank his voice isn't heavy enough.. and it shows. The tracks are not bad, but they are not "Very Best" or even close.
Then Palliacci and Cavalleria Rusticana. Carreras never sang Rusticana onstage! And in these tracks he forces tragically. The Palliaccio non son is one long shout.
The second Cd has some weird choices. Don Carlos is okay... but just okay nothing special. The La Fleur is not from his Karajan recording in 82 but from an obscure 85 recording where he forces and blasts the top b flat at the end. They then have him singing Salut, from an opera he never sung at a time in his carrer where he could barely sing a high C (and it shows.) All of the proceeding tracks are recoreded in '85 only 2 years before his complete vocal break down and bout with leukemia. he does not sound at his "VeryBest" just, "sort of okey." if you want his very best check out The Golden Years or The Great Carreras or many other Cd's that are more favorably put together.

Wedding music.......2007-07-09

After searching everywhere for a wedding march played by string instruments with no luck I came across this cd. I had no idea what I was ordering as I could not listen to any of the tracks on the internet. I am more than happy!!! There are two versions of the wedding march played by Violins etc - very classic sounding but gives more of a live performance feel. The rest of the tracks make for excellent backround music for before and after the ceremony. I would recommend this to any bride to be who does not want live performers but still would like the formal and classical feel of the violins (without the whole orchestra heavy sound).
