A nice overview of Caruso's legacy.......2007-01-04

Enrico Caruso was one of the first "media stars," with his recordings selling widely in the early twentieth century; he helped popularize the recording industry. He was one of the leading tenors of his day, and is regarded as one of the tops of the twentieth century (although he began serious singing in the late 19th century).

This CD features some of his "greatest hits," among which are his well reputed version of "Vesti la giubba" (from I Pagliacci, one of his signature operas); arias from Verdi's Rigoletto, including the bold "Questa o quella" and "La donna e mobile"; some of his most popular recordings from Puccini, including "E lucevan le stelle," "Recondita armonia," and "Che gelida manina." Nice additions to the CD are wonderful ensemble pieces, such as the sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor (including the voice of Luisa Tetrazzini) and the quartet from Rigoletto (with Amelita Galli-Curci).

Interesting tidbits include his first recording, from 1902, and his last, from 1920.

All in all, this is a very nice representation of his work. I'm not sure that it compares with the old LP (with him in clown outfit) that includes Rossini's nearly unsingable "La danza," among other items. But it is a terrific introduction to the art of Caruso. Anyone who has not listened to this tenor's works before would be well advised to use this as their entree to his oeuvre.

Unearthly.......2002-12-23

Forget toiling for a BMW, enjoy finer things in life.One of my personal favorites is ''Le pecheurs de perles'', but the offer is overwhelming.

If You Only Buy One Caruso . . ........2001-01-03

let this be it! Wonderful, generous selection of his singles for Victor, most of them solos, but a few duets, quartets, quintets, and a sextet. The accompanying booklet makes a great deal of including his first and last recordings, but by far the most important here is Caruso's 1907 recording of Vesti la giubba, the first classical recording to sell over a million copies in the United States. If you listen to it, you'll know why--it's every bit as melodramatic as the minstrel show singles with which it shared the top of the early twentieth-century charts.

Customer Reviews:

Beware! two old CDs reissued with a new name.......2006-08-02

I bought this CD with great anticipation because I love Spanish music of this era. To my disappointment, this was not a new recording, but a reissue of two CDs I already own: "1492: Music from the Age of Discovery" and "Traveler." If you don't have these CDs already, this double set is a great bargain. But check your CD rack before buying!

A reworking of a prior disc - but now with 2 CDs.......2006-01-27

I was pleased to see that one of my favorite CDs had not really gone out of print, but was reworked into this title and now with a bonus CD. Even though I own the original "Music from the Age of Discovery 1492", I'll probably buy this disc just for the extras. Very nice mood music, lots of variety, exotic instruments and lovely voices.

perfect by candlelight or in the office.......2000-10-20

i've owned this CD for several years, and never tire of it. weather i'm curled up with a book, or just in the office with headphones on, it's appropriate for any occasion (outside a raucus party). i highly suggest it if you're interested in exotic, mystical, and festive tunes.

Just the best of the best........2006-02-08

From all the compilations of Maria Callas EMI has issued this is BY FAR the best one.

Unlike her studio recitals, unequal and mostly recorded when her voice was starting to decay, this live records take you back to the glorious early fifties when the young Callas was changing the history of opera forever.

The first 6 CD's are scenes from stage performances and the last 2 from recitals.

Chronollogically, this compilation starts with the legendary (and controversial) 1951 Mexico-City "Aida" and ends with the 1964 Covent Garden "Tosca" (when Callas' voice was just the shade of itself but at the peak of her dramatic skills).
Listen to the electrifying poetry of the 1952 "La sonnambula", to the devorating flame of 1955 "La traviata" and "Lucia". Not to forget the 1952 "Norma", the 1957 "Ana Bolena" and some rarities like "Andrea Chénier", "Ifigenia in Tauride" and "Poliuto".
The only great absent of this collection is "Armida"...

As for the the 2 recital CD's, the first one contains arias from concerts between 1952 and 1958, when Callas was in full command of her voice. Nobody else was capable of singing arias from Nabucco and Lakmé on the same recital! And listen to the last aria: Wagner's Isolde's dead.

The second one, contains arias from 1959 to 1963. Here, Callas voice had diminished considerably and she was not anymore capable of the same technical miracles, but she still managed to give thrilling dramatical interpretations (listen to the dead scene of Madama Butterfly of the 1963 Paris recital!!!)

In 80% of this compilation you can hear the young Callas creating her own legend, giving herself completly on the stage.

Captivating Performances, Great Singer Indeed.......2000-05-05

The Edison recordings were made when Claudia Muzio was in her absolute prime. They catches her voice at its freshest. Yet, I find myself hardly prepared for such wonderful artistry and interpretative insights. Muzio's timeless singing has left indelible memories on all who heard her either in person or on records and she had a great influence on Maria Callas, her successor. Indeed, Maria Callas owed a lot to her great predecessor. Ward Marston reproduced the recordings with real affection and Muzio's unique voice rings out with arresting immediacy. This is a set that should find an exalted place in every opera lover's collection.

I am amazed to be able to hear the artistry of Claudia Muzio on CD. For those who have only heard artists from the turn of the century on wind up 78s the loving care with which these treasures have been restored with is truely a revelation. The singers of Muzios era were great storytellers of passion and expression. Muzios voice is delivered with simplicity of tone and accuracy of vowel. Her grace in phrasing must have influenced Tebaldi.

A Historical (and top-notch) Find.......2000-12-27

In 1912, Thomas Edison hired an agent to make recordings of opera singers to be sent back to Edison for his personal "audition." Several hundred (thousands were made) of these recordings were recently exhumed and make for an amazing listening experience. Although these are acoustic recordings, the sound quality is unsurpassed - the voices crystal clear, smooth, and even with no audible surface noise. All of the singers in this compilation are excellent, with some wonderful surprises coming from several realtively obscure names. A detailed booklet with comprehensive biographical material is included. Until this issue surfaced, very few people besides Edison himself had been able to listen to these treasures - let's hope that more of these gems can be found!

The Mexican lyric tenor Ramón Vargas displays an impressive range of Verdian skills in this selection of arias from 12 operas. His tone is open and full, with well-placed high notes and a vigorous delivery, while technique and style combine in a solid bel canto approach. There's some particularly graceful phrasing in the Ernani extract, while the more dramatic Luisa Miller aria is given an especially forthright reading, with the character's disbelieving anger at his emotional betrayal conveyed with spirit.

Vargas is good with words, too. His interpretation of Macduff's aria of loss from Macbeth benefits from committed diction, and he produces some lovely effects throughout this number. Equally memorable are items in French from Les Vêspres siciliennes and Jérusalem (Verdi's 1847 Parisian revision of the 1843 I Lombardi). These are among several rarities included--alternative arias Verdi wrote for later productions of some operas, while Alzira must be one of the least known of all his works. The English translations in the booklet are clumsy, but Vargas's singing is going to give a lot of pleasure. The accompaniments from Edoardo Müller and the Munich Radio Orchestra are topnotch. --George Hall

Ramón - Tenor Extraordinaire!.......2003-04-10

First, let me start by saying that I agree with the review by Joy Fleisig of this CD. She was right on the mark with everything. A gorgeous sounding light tenor who did a great performance of Verdi which I didn't think would turn out as good as it did. Ramón gives us exquisitely beautiful pianissimos, but Joy Fleisig was right, there were a few slightly weak and closed throated sounding high notes, but they are made up with a middle range to die for and a rich lower register. Ramón does need to add greater drama and needs to give more character to the roles.

Ramón does a particularly exciting ending to "Nell'argilla maledetta" from Verdi's "I masnadieri". He is also very good in "Ah! Si, ben mio" and "Di quella pira" from Il trovatore. However, in "Di quella pira", Ramón does sound a little weak at the very end of the aria. On the other hand, Pavarotti actually sounds a little strained at the ending of "Di quella pira"(Decca 417 713). If you want to hear "Di quella pira" the way it should be done, listen to Carlo Bergonzi on Decca (289 467), wow, what a thrilling ending that shakes the rafters. In my opinion Ramón needs to open up his throat more during those high notes to let them loose. It sounds like he is trying to protect his voice.

I wanted to give this CD a 4 ½ star rating but there are no half stars, so I am forced to give it a 4 star rating because it is not quite good enough for 5 stars.

I would love to hear Ramón expand his light tenor repertoire to do Tamino in the Magic Flute and other Mozart operas and Handel's Oratorios which his voice is perfectly suited for.

Also, and more importantly, my wish is for Ramón to do Puccini's "La Boheme" and to come out with a CD of Puccini arias and a CD of verismo arias. Can Ramón create the power and, more so, the DRAMA to do versimo? That is yet to be seen. I would like to hope so, because I love listening to Ramón's honey sounding voice.

Truly "Bel Canto!".......2002-12-29

Ramon Vargas is a wonderful, musical singer. I used to limit myself to the "biggies" such as Pavarotti, Bjoerling, Corelli etc., but I am so glad I have broadened my scope to include non-"legendary" voices.
For, while a tenor like Ramon Vargas may not have the sheer natural vocal endowment to become a "legendary" tenor for the ages, he certainly has the ability in the here-and-now to sing with surpassing beauty and exquisite musicality. He gives these arias a freshness that is, well... refreshing!
He also sings in a very self-effacing and humble manner-- being more interested in letting his voice serve the music rather than his own ego. This type of singing is, for my money, where it's at and you sometimes dont get it with the "legends", perhaps because they know they are "legendary"!

Ramon Vargas sings purely and without artifice and it is moving. I will buy more of his CDs for sure. Buy and enjoy.

Splendid!.......2002-12-20

Indeed, this disc is a treasure of tenor singing. Ramon Vargas once again demonstrates his mastery of Verdian line (listen to Alzira on Philips under Luisi for a complete role). He has a voice that easily lends itself to recordings; it's light, but incredibly bright, clear, and focused. He pays a great deal of attention to the texts, it's remarkably easy to understand every word. One thing that stood out for me was the care with which Vargas approaches every phrase, I am certain he worked relentlessly on polishing each note, each line, to make it just right. In this day & age when half-baked "tenors" are popping up everywhere, it's marvelous to hear a singer whose love and care for the music is so genuine.
Like several folks here, I find Vargas most at home at purely lyric repertoire. But the way Verdi created some of his characters, it's not obvious under what vocal fach do they fall. Case in point - the Troubadour. The part is essentially lyric, but there are some outbursts, such as relating the duel with the Count, or Di Quella Pira that call for dramatic delivery. Lyric tenors have a bit more freedom in Verdian roles than spinto or di forza tenors in a sense that they can negotiate the legato lines with dazzling control, yet some, like Vargas, are able to muster enough power to deliver exciting dramatic moments. Yes, there might a slight lack of dramatic punch to some moments, but all selections impress with a great deal of commitment.
The absolute favorite for me on this CD is "Quando la sere al placido", thankfully sang without the "ohime" at the end. The scene from "I Masnadieri" is fantastic too with some insightful vocal acting. Vargas makes his Duca really sympathetic in "Parmi veder le lagrime", just keep telling yourself "it's the bad guy!" He even adds some nuance at the end (before Borsa et al march in), but, alas, does not sing "per te che le sfere agl'angeli" on a single breath (that makes Duca sound possessed, which he is). Can't wait for the full version, hopefully with Hvorostovsky in title role.
Do yourself a favor and get this disc, there are treasures to be discovered there and old favorites done in fresh ways to be enjoyed.

The 'wrong' voice does right by Verdi.......2002-05-10

For the past 10 years or so, the marvelous Mexican tenor Ramon Vargas has been one of the leading lights of the bel canto repertory. His voice has the sweet, rich, juicy quality shared by many contemporary Mexican and South American tenors. By and large, Vargas has until now limited himself to roles for light voices. Now that he has turned 40, he has decided that he is ready to move on into the fuller lyric repertory, including Verdi. While I do think Vargas' big, bright voice is a bit light for a lot of the 'major' Verdi roles, most of the repertory he sings on this disc suits him to a tee, and at least on record or in a small theatre is well worth hearing. I also give him credit for singing comparative rarities, including alternates for arias from `Ernani', `Attila' and `Les Vepres Siciliennes'.

There are a great many opera fans who, unfortunately, judge fitness for singing Verdi only on the volume and power of the voice, and most of these people would not consider a lyric tenor, certainly a light lyric tenor like Vargas, appropriate to sing Verdi's music. Verdi himself might actually disagree. The 'big' sound that we now associate with Verdi has more to do with 20th Century performance practice than with what was actually done in Verdi's time. Verdi's early work essentially is bel canto in style, far more similar to Bellini and Donizetti than to his later work. In fact, the alternate `Ernani' and `Attila' arias Vargas sings were written for the noted Rossini tenor Nikolai Ivanoff - at Rossini's request.

The `Ernani' selection (which Verdi later reworked into `Ah si, ben mio' in `Il Trovatore') actually does show a slight degree of strain, with some passagio notes and even high notes on the 'o' vowel sounding pinched and nasal, but this is rarely evident anywhere else on the CD. Actually, this nasality is also common among the new generation of Hispanic tenors. With "I Due Foscari", Vargas is in marvelous vocal fettle once again. His rendition of the aria and cabaletta from "Alzira" makes me eager to hear the recording of the entire opera he has made. Throughout the disc he sings with superb legato, great sensitivity, fine diction, and excellent technique. Certainly Vargas' bel canto experience makes coloratura passages easy for him. It is a pity that so few tenors today have these virtues in Verdi, and it is particularly a joy to hear them in the `Il Trovatore' excerpt, even though I think the entire role is beyond Vargas on stage. All the sixteenth-notes in `Di quella pira' are beautifully articulated and he has a fine trill. `Rigoletto', in which I have seen Vargas three times at the Met, seems to be my `unlucky' opera with him - difficult to believe considering his superb performance here. Not only does he sing both verses of `Possente amor' with great elan, but he gives the Duke a sympathetic characterization he rarely gets today. He also produces genuinely sweet, heady tone in the `Falstaff' aria. Finally, Vargas shows great aplomb with the two French selections from `Jerusalem' and `Les Vepres Siciliennes', more so than in the previous work I have heard from him in that language.

I very much appreciate that this CD gives us extended scenes instead of just arias, giving Vargas ample chance to interact with other singers and chorus, especially in `I Masnadieri'. Although James Anderson does a fine job with all the comprimario tenor parts, the shrill and wobbly Annegher Stumphius proves herself totally wrong for the 'Trovatore' Leonora even in her limited contribution. I suspect the production team realized this because they didn't record 'Il dolci suoni mistici'. The men of the Munich Radio chorus do a fine job, although they are miked from a bit too far away and that hurts their diction a bit, especially in the 'Rigoletto' scene.

Conductor Eduardo Muller is sympathetic to and supportive of Vargas and keeps the music going at an exciting clip. He also has the Bavarian Radio Orchestra shine in some brief prelude passages. He conducted some very fine performances of 'Rigoletto' and 'I Puritani' at the Met, and I eagerly await his 'La Cenerentola' there in September 2002.

There are only a few negative points. With the exceptions of Fenton and the Duke of Mantua, roles that he has sung often onstage, Vargas really doesn't make any of these characters that different from each other. Admittedly most Verdi heroes are noble, troubled, and hot-headed, but the situations they deal with here aren't always identical. Along those lines, I wish Vargas had done slightly more with dynamics, especially since we do hear some lovely diminuendi in several selections. It would have been nice, for example, if he had contrasted the two verses of 'Quando le sere al placido' a bit more. None of this is enough to detract from a firm recommendation.

There is also an essay on how both Verdi and his compositions are very different than a lot of contemporary myths would indicate, brief notes on the composition of each opera and synopses of the arias (these last a bit scrunched together), and biographies of Vargas and Muller.

Although I enjoyed this album immensely, I advise Vargas to proceed further into this and similar repertory with extreme caution. I admit that I'm not entirely pleased that he is taking on heavier Verdi than this (the Italian version of 'Don Carlo' and the Requiem), albeit in relatively small spaces. If Roberto Alagna, whose voice is a size larger than Vargas' and whose middle voice is more solid and baritonal, must go very slowly and carefully into this repertory, all the more so for Vargas. Still, this is one of the loveliest tenors of our time, who merges a beautiful voice with grace and dignity.

Deutsche Grammophon is lucky in that World War II didn't slow classical recordings in Germany as it did in the United States but stimulated them: It was essential for wartime morale. Thus, if you can get past any repugnance related to these recordings' genesis, there's a huge amount to enjoy. There's a disc of lieder by all the prewar greats (Franz Volker, Tiana Lemnitz, Erna Berger, and Heinrich Schlusnus), a disc of Wagner featuring young Hans Hotter, opera and operetta performances by Berger and Helge Roswaenge, and a disc showing how the German singers gave Italian opera a distinctively Nordic but highly communicative edge. The set is crowned by a complete Winterreise that was recorded by Peter Anders in 1945 (and sounds it): the cultivated tenor's anguished performance embodies a Germany facing the abyss. --David Patrick Stearns
