5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best.......2005-08-07

This album has got to be one of the best compilations in its genre. If you are into male opera singers, specifically tenors, then you should definitely buy this CD. Imagine their hearty expressive voices coming out of your home stereo system. It might make you cry! (in a good way)

4 out of 5 stars outstanding CD and great introduction to these great works.......2000-05-12

These three are amazing and this CD gives you a great introduction to their talent. The music is soothing and relaxing. The Arias chosen for this CD are awesome, however my only complaint would be that most of them are short (2 to 3 minutes). There are few arias that are longer (more than 4 minutes). I found the short arias to be a bit distracting because I'd just start relaxing into a song and then it would be over. Notwithstanding, a great CD and definitely worth owning.

4 out of 5 stars The favorites are here.......2000-06-19

Well, this is a great introduction to the world of opera for those who are opera novitiates, there's no question there. And they are certainly some of the most popular arias and duets from a large sampling of operas as one may be able to tell. However, there are some not so great renditions of the arias and duets on here. But most of the selections are fairly well done to quite exquisite.

The first CD contains just opera arias. I will make note of certain selections, and the rest you can consider to be of pretty good quality. The first track, "Gualtier Maldé... Caro nome" is wonderfully done by Anna Moffo, even though her high E ending is not quite in keeping with the style of the period, yet still quite nice to hear. Edita Gruberova's version of "Ah! Je veux vivre" is just ghastly. This coloratura soprano goes awry here and sounds as though she was drunk when recording this piece. My advice is to try to skip this track altogether unless you like to hear wobbling all over the place and screaming instead of beautiful high notes. This is probably my biggest criticism of this CD set, due to the fact that there are much better versions, especially the one by Joan Sutherland (the prima donna who was the master of coloratura in her time). Edita does go on to spur a bit of hope that she can do coloratura in the famous Bell song from Lakmé. She shows some wonderful skills with beautifully high pianissimos and scale work, but it falls apart once she gets to the real heavy-duty coloratura part near the end, and is off pitch in places, especially on her final shrieked note which is almost painful. And as for her "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" from the Magic Flute, it's so-so in comparison to versions that Sumi Jo, Christina Deutekom, and Lucia Popp have done. Now there's some coloratura sopranos for you. So now you see why I had to at least knock down my rating of this CD a little bit.

When looking at the second CD, for the opera duets, this one is generally much better than the first CD. However, there are some pretty old recordings on here, namely the "Un di, felice, eterea" and "Parle-moi de ma mère" that sound kind of hollow and tin-like. The rest of the recordings are pretty much around the same age or older and these performers sound quite good. I especially like the tracks "Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen" with Popp and Brendel (note: Lucia Popp has done both the roles of the Queen of the Night and Pamina. I highly recommend these two different versions of the opera the Magic Flute if this track whets your appetite for more), and "È il sol dell'anima" with Reri Grist's wonderful clear soprano voice. Probably the highlight of this CD set though is the beautiful "Presentation of the Rose" duet from Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. This just sends chills through the spine every time with its hauntingly beautiful harmonies.

Overall, this sampling of the various arias and duets are quite good and merit a rating of 4 stars in my mind. Keep in mind though that there are some bad renditions of the arias as I said before, and sound quality is not top-notch with some of the selections. However, this CD set, when its good sampling of artists gone-by and famous arias is combined with the unbelievably low price it is, it's almost a steal! (This is why I believe this CD set redeems itself from a rating of 3 up to a 4 by the way) I can only hope that those new to opera will fall in love with what it has to offer: beautiful melodies, harmonies, and voices that convey emotions and storylines on a whole different level than music and books can by themselves. Enjoy

5 out of 5 stars Bravo!.......2003-03-10

After experiencing Salminen's delightfully sinister Hagen in the Met DVD of Gotterdammerung, I ordered this album and was not disappointed. It is a gem, with Salminens's vocal power and expressiveness well displayed in every selection.

5 out of 5 stars Magic power.......2000-06-25

This is a schoolbook example of professional bass-singing. Matti Salminen compasses his way from Mozart and Rossini via Puccini and Verdi to Rickard Strauss. And he does so with bravura. His voice is extremely dark and powerful (that fact has been very well handled by the sound engineer - the balance of the recording is perfect).

Salminen sings both Rossini, Wagner and Strauss as if they all were his favorite composer, showing no weakness in any kind of the very mixed repertoire of this recording. He is funny when called for, and in the most powerful (and tragic)parts he is extremely thrilling. Emotionality and caracterization are parts of Salminens great strength as a opera singer.

If you're a fan of bass-singing, this is a must for you to have. Even if you're not, it is very fun to be able to hear some of the greatest bass-arias, which othervise oftenly are neglected on opera-collections.

The orchestral playing of the Lahti forces is also very good.

This is the best tenor I have heard in ages. Where is he in 2002? His Mario Lanza Tribute has the same orchestration as Mario's did and other than a slight spanish accent, his crescendo and diminuendos, particular on his high notes is exciting. He pays attention to diction.

5 out of 5 stars Tito Beltran/ Robin Stapelton, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.......2000-05-14

This artist has a very beautiful, clear, warm voice and sings some of the sweetest notes you'll ever hear from a lyric tenor. He is a genuinely exciting charismatic singer.

5 out of 5 stars His voice rings so easily and his technique is flawless........1999-09-03

Tito Beltran's has an incredible high lyric tenor voice capable of producing notes with so much ring as to put almost all lyric tenors of a more popular name to shame. His technique sounds flawless and I just hope to hear this man in person someday, hopefully at the Met.

4 out of 5 stars Engaging, lyrical performances.......2006-11-10

I actually came to own this CD because I'm a big fan of Charlie Chaplin. In particular, his tender masterpiece: City Lights. Charlie Chaplin wrote all of the music in that move with one exception - Jose Padilla's "La Violetera". This song Chaplin used as the theme for his blind flower girl. The melody is so beautiful and haunting, that I had to hear the entire song. It turns out that there are very few releases of this song available now. This disk is the only one with a recording from the time when Chaplin was filming his movie. I love Bori's rendition - I can't stop listening to it over and over and over again. The lyrics are those of a flower girl in Madrid, imploring young men passing by to purchase a violet for their girl. Beauty and love may be expressed for so little a sum through a flower....

Let me back up a bit and discuss this CD itself. You have to realize that this is vintage material from the late 1920s and the 1930s. The producers had a dilemma. They could try to suppress all of the hiss and surface noise of the 78 rpm records. But, in the process you would also lose the high notes of the soprano. Wisely, they chose to leave the high frequencies alone. If you want to suppress them, virtually all playback systems have a "treble" control, if not a full equalizer, so this is no disadvantage. Luckily, there is no detectable wow and flutter from warped disks.

About Bori's singing. It's musical, and tastefully done. It's not overblown with excessive vocal theatrics, or sentimentality as some of the early 1900s singers were prone to. She is an excellent musician. Yet, there is a detectable accent. In Hoffman's Barcarolle, which is sung in English, you've got to listen carefully to make out the words. But then, Lawrence Tibbett also is sometimes hard to make out. It may be their operatic technique of the time as well as the limited frequency response of the recording system. Tibbett seems to be a bass or baritone, and in combination with a soprano, a wide frequency response is needed.

Ironically, even though Bori was born in Spain, when I asked my Spanish speaking friends about the lyrics of "La Violetera", they noted that the Spanish was pronounced with a heavy accent also. Perhaps people knowledgable in Italian can tell us about her Italian pronounciation.

A word about the Italian opera snippets. I'm a nut about Puccini, especially Madame Butterfly. Un bel di is so critical to this opera, that it has to be done right. I'm stuck on Renata Tebaldi's rendition, which to my mind is the gold standard. Bori has a different view, which may take some getting used to. The notes do say that she rarely performed Butterfly in the USA, and so perhaps she was aware of her own problems with this aria. Tebaldi brings out the anguish and makes you cry. Bori seems a little more perfunctory.

Overall, this is quite a fun, musical CD with material that is not often heard today. I really enjoy this one.

I listened and was again enchanted by Kiri's voice. She would have been the Anna Netrebko of her time. I did experience her in 2 live concerts and have vivid memories how beautiful she looked matching her singing.

5 out of 5 stars Dame Kiri Shines as Always.......2004-08-08

In a compilation of arias from opera roles that "might have been", Dame Kiri shows us that she could have expanded her repertoire much beyond what she actually did. Most of these arias have been sung and recorded by Dame Kiri on other recordings, and in concert videos. Some arias are from operas she did perform.(Die Zauberflote) Her clear, beautiful tone stands alone in the realm of the soprano. Some may sing for a few
years, but not over thirty and do it so very well.
The portions of the DVD were well chosen. This mostly long forgotten Mozart concert video was out of print and a gem.
The use of "Exultate Jubilate", "Porgi Amor", and the "Dove Sono" personify Dame Kiri's affinity with the work of Mozart, and bring new life to an old concert. The only downside is that there were only the three pieces on the entire DVD.
Overall, the CD includes all of the composers Dame Kiri is most associated with, and a few she is not as much known for. I
highly recommend it to anyone who is an admirer of the great soprano.

5 out of 5 stars Tenor-lovers Alert!.......2001-02-25

For some of the most beautiful lyric tenor singing available on a disc, please sample this recent release on DGG.

Mr. Simoneau's recording are few and this one is particularly fine in its aria selection and the singing is simply above reproach.

This is a lyric tenor voice in the style of Schipa. Should you have doubts, listen closely to the aria "Una furtiva lagrima" from Donizetti's opera L'elisir d'amore. The pitch is perfect, the line is firm and the voice is beautiful in it tonal quality. The duet from Faust is sung lovingly and phrased to perfecton by this husband and wife vocal team, a feast of simple lyric beauty.

There are no fillers on this disc. Every duet and aria is a winner and I should perhaps note that since Mr. Simoneau's French diction is flawless, the arias from operas by Mehul and Halevy are particularly welcome. As a footnote, I should like to add that if you are able, find a copy of Simoneau's recording of the "Sanctus" from the Berlioz Requiem with Munch and the Boston Symphony. It makes all recorded competition sound amateurish.

      2 out of 5 stars Janez Lotric' Tenor Recital.......2003-08-06

      Naxos offers a dubious bargain with this recital by the Slovenian tenor Janez Lotric. The repertory encompasses some of the most demanding arias for a voice rare on this day and age: a dramatic tenor with a big, wide ranging voice like Tamagno or Escalais. Mr. Lotric certainly has an instrument of the correct size and weight for most of the repertory he attempts but his vocal production is ugly, labored and coarse. The tone is nasal, many of the top notes are hardriven and pinched; the Italian pronunciation is approximate at best and his interpretative approach to the chosen program is depressingly provincial. The Ukrainian National Opera orchestra and soloists provide adequate support.

      The tenor aria from Glinka's A Life for the Tsar comes off best and is, at least, idiomatically sung, although some soft singing in the slow section of the aria would not have come amiss. The rest of the program provides much less satisfaction. The tenor aria from Der Rosenkavalier is in a word awful. The scene from Il trovatore is rudely deprived of the duettino and crowned by one of the ugliest High Cs on record.
