Leoncavallo: Pagliacci / Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana

Joh Vickers, Raina Kabaivanska

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Not twins exactly, but still heavenly
Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci are often called the heavenly twins, but I don't think that's quite true. I'm not sure if Cavalleria is a great opera, but it's certainly a very good one. True, Mascagni does an admirable job of creating a small town atmosphere where ...

Giacomo Puccini, Herbert von Karajan, ...

Decca, 1998

Fantastic!
This is one of the first opera CDs I ever got. It's wonderful for just about any body;from the newbies like me or the opera fanatics. I especially like 'In Questa Reggia'. Buy it now!!

Falstaff / Verdi, Gobbi · Schwarzkopf · Moffo · Karajan

Giuseppe Verdi, Herbert von Karajan, ...

EMI Classics 1957/1999, 1999

The benchmark Falstaff
Reference recordings are the touchstone by which all others are judged. The Callas-Gobbi Tosca is the universal example of a recording whose excellence so towers over the field as to bend the artistic vision of every subsequent laborer in the operatic vineyard in ...

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Decca, 2005

Wonderful, of course!
I don't know of too many that would give fewer than five stars to Luciano Pavarotti. What an amazing voice...we are fortunate to have been part of one man's unbelievable talent!

Puccini - La Boheme

Mirella Freni, Gianni Raimondi

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

La Boheme
One of the many great operas by G Puccini, with the great voices of Mirella Freni, Gianni Raimondi and Rolando Panerai - recorded from La Scala Opera House in Milan,Italy in 1965 I couldn't be happier with it. A great purchase for my collection...Thank you.

Puccini: La Boheme (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, Anna Moffo, Antonino Votto, ...

Giacomo Puccini

EMI Classics, 1997

Callas-None Better
La Boheme in its complete form is splendid no matter what, but Callas, who is clearly at the apex of her powers, is remarkable. This opera, and this version in particular, is a must for anyone who wishes to hear the best that the art form has to offer. Giuseppe di ...

Puccini - La Bohème / Freni, Pavarotti, Harwood, Ghiaurov, Karajan

Giacomo Puccini, Mirella Freni, ...

Decca, 1990

A Definitive Production of La Bohème.
Puccini's iconic La Bohème (1896) is among the most popular operas in history (second only to Puccini's Madama Butterfly), and "Che gelida manina" is one of the most familiar arias in opera. Based on Scènes de la vie de Bohème by Henri Murger, La Bohème is a romantic ...

Decca, 2001

great collection
If one was wanting to introduce a friend to the wonderful world of opera, this would be a great cd to buy them. Also at this time when many of us are worrying about Luciano and his health , it is great to hear him featured on many of the selections. A great buy and ...

Great cd the songs, music are beautiful and not to talk about the voices, is what I expected to be. It should be in all opera lovers collection

Verdi - Oberto / Bergonzi · Dimitrova · Panerai · Munich RO · Gardelli

Giuseppe Verdi, Lamberto Gardelli, ...

Orfeo, 1992

Rare opera, odd cast, great conductor...I like it!
Pairing the ever-elegant Carlo Bergonzi with the volcano of the 80s, Ghena Dimitrova is one of the wildest cast choices one could ever make (think of honey with pepper!). Funnily enough, I found the results most fascinating. Both Bergonzi and Panerai are old-timers ...

Verdi: La Traviata / Sills, Gedda, Panerai; Ceccato

Giuseppe Verdi, John Alldis Choir & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Is there ANY DOUBT how pleased Verdi would be?
I have great regard for this recording of Beverly Sills in perhaps her real signature role. Lots of people would tell you "Manon", certainly, or "Lucia", or Elisabeth in "Devereauz", or perhaps "Baby Doe". I happen to simply love "Baby Doe", and, it was her truly great ...

Giuseppe Verdi - Falstaff (Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video)

Giuseppe Taddei, Rolando Panerai

Sony, 2002

SENSATIONAL!
What a delightful experience, this video or DVD! The cast is A-One! The names GiuseppeTaddei and Raina Kabaivanska conjure up dramatic roles such as Scarpia and Tosca along with Christa Ludwig, ever dramatic as well. Yet, here they all are showing fantastic ...

Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana & Leoncavallo: Pagliacci (complete operas) with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di ...

Ruggero Leoncavallo, Pietro Mascagni, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WAY!
There makes little sense in elaborating on the performances of these two little verismo shockers. These performances have been around for a long time and are justly acclaimed. They have SO much to offer (except for stereophonic sound, which I can easily accept, since ...
