| Bought this CD set for my 11-year-old son who's been taking classical guitar lessons for 3 years, just for some broader exposure. He likes it, I like it. It's got quite a few pieces that sound challenging to him and that he'd like to try, so it's doing its intended job. |

| Cecilia Bartoli may not be the finest mezzo-soprano extant but few would doubt her exceptional artistry and professionalism. In "Se tu m'ami", she transforms simple, even primitive, melodies into beautiful, dare I say, rapturous arias, in the finest bel canto tradition. I now understand why Paisiello was a favourite of Buonaparte and why I should now acknowledge Vivaldi for his considerable versatility and creativity. The disc now occupies a top shelf in my CD rack. Bravissimo Cecilia. |

| [Buy it now! This is the CD of the year! The Pergolesi mass is a work of exuberant fancies. The Scarlatti is a work of unfathomable beauty and mystery. If I had to choose a piece by Alessandro Scarlatti to give evidence of his stature as a composer on a par with Monteverdi and Bach, right now I'd pick his Messa per il Santissimo Natale.]
Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) composed only ten masses. The liturgical conservatism of his era made innovative masses out of fashion, elbowed aside by the quasi ... Read More: |

| Mr. Parkening is the fortunate possessor of (in no particular order) excellent technique, beautiful tone, the endorsement of Segovia, a great deal of musical talent, and (so I am reliably informed) considerable good looks; and these very marketable (and indeed praiseworthy) things have helped to take him to the very top of the music world in the United States.
The present album includes the complete LP "Parkening plays Bach", plus five contemporary works from "Parkening and the Guitar", and is a good ... Read More: |

| This collection contains just about every major well known Baroque piece ever used for a wedding,graduation or ultimate Baroque 'starter kit'.Vocalists such as the Welsh Baritone Bryn Terfel,the late great Pavarotti,the world's foremost oboist of the '70 and '80is Heinz Holliger and Orchestras such as Saint Martin-in-the-Fields and I Musici are assembled with defining renditions of these great favorites.There are two tracks of particular interest that is of great delight:the little recorded "Le Coucou" by Jean Daquin ...

| This is an extraordinary CD. Mario Lanza is at his best, with some of the most stunning interpretations in opera: the two André Chenier arias, the superb Otello with Licia Albanese and the Butterfly with Elaine Malbin !
This CD brought me back to rediscover Mario Lanza five years ago and to try to know more . It ended up with the Creation of the Opera Club de Paris Mario Lanza, the opening of a website ([...]), trips to Philadelphia to attend every first week end of november the finals of the The Lanza Ball (International ...

| One can't help but be impressed with the agility in Bartoli's voice. Vocal fireworks! And yet the "Mentre io godo...", "Caldo sangue" and "Lascia la spina..." are so sweet and calming. I consider this CD a must have! |

| Besides the bacground hiss, I found I had to turn the volume up to max just to hear it. So when you play more than one CD the others will be normal volume but when Kreisler starts you hear nothing and have to turn the volume all the way up to have it at low normal levels. So I recommend passing on this one. |
