Product Description

This "My Favorite Heroines" CD doesn't necessarily make opera easy, as the title of the series suggests; but it does give the listener opportunities to appreciate a succession of some of the world's greatest sopranos doing their thing. Pavarotti's favorites lean toward the heavy side (that's sound, not weight), and all are from Italian opera (no surprise) and perform some of opera's greatest hits, including "Vissi d'Arte" (Nilsson), "Ebben? ... Ne Andro Lontana" (Tebaldi), "Casta Diva" (Sutherland) and "O Patria Mia" (Price). Outstanding is Freni's graceful "Un Bel Di," a recording to treasure. It's fun to compare the different talents, strengths, and weaknesses of the varous singers. --Barbara Eisner Bayer
