| 1. |  | Ludwig van Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies - Arturo Toscanini / NBC Symphony Orchestra by Ludwig van Beethoven (Composer) Customer Review:  [ASIN:B0000CNTLU Ludwig van Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies - Arturo Toscanini / NBC Symphony Orchestra]]: Have heard many orchestras and conductors playing Beethoven symphonies over half a century. Toscanini has been by far the best conductor that ever played Beethoven. I am so glad I was able to get... |

| 2. |  | A Celebration of Lerner and Loewe from Sepia Recordings Price: $16.46 Customer Review: Sometime in the early seventies, while I was still a teenager, I shelled out forty dollars for a two record set, An Evening with Lerner and Loewe. This was an extraordinary amount of money for a student in college with a part time job at Pantry Pride, a then popular supermarket. For years I hoped in... |

| 6. |  | Georges Bizet: Carmen (Complete Recording) by Robert Merrill Price: $24.06 Customer Review: If you are considering downloading the Mp3, please beware that the digital copy truncates Micaëla's climactic dramatic moment. You hear her tell Don Jose that she has something to tell him and that it will be her final word. Unfortunately, the music stops at that point and you don't get to hear... |

| 7. |  | Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 "Choral" from RCA Price: $4.80 Customer Review:  For listeners old enough to remember the old LP record and CD transfers of this performance, the performance you hear in this latest transfer will seem a tremendous improvement. In my youth I recall many champions of Toscanini and expecially of his performances of Beethoven. These strong preferences... |

| 8. |  | Camille Saint-Saëns: Samson and Delilah -- Highlights / Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky: Eugen Onegin -- Tatiana's Letter Scene by Stokowski Symphony Orchestra Price: $18.98 Customer Review: A sneaky love for Stokowski is still something some "serious" music-lovers feel the need to apologise for, as if he were not a "proper" conductor - but of course he was a scrupulous musician who breathed life into everything he conducted, even if occasionally he produced a Frankenstein's monster.... |

| 12. |  | Verdi: Un Ballo in Maschera from Myto Records Italy Price: $15.99 Customer Review: Verdi was not a sentimental composer and an effective approach in elucidating what he brings to his music is to use the elements. The emotional idea of water is not often used but seems most apparent in Aida, but even there we don't have anything like a Cavalleria Rusticana. It is according to this... |

| 13. |  | Toscanini Conducts Verdi's La Traviata from Music & Arts Program Price: $17.95 Customer Review: Arturo Toscanini prepared six complete operas for broadcast with the NBC Symphony: Beethoven's "Fidelio" and five operas of Verdi. The actual broadcast performance of this "Traviata," on Dec. 1 & 8, 1946, was stiff, nervous-sounding and expressionless as far as the singers were concerned. |

| 14. | [no image] | Verdi: Rigoletto from Preiser Records Price: $24.98 Customer Review: The best Rigoletto performers my ears have ever heard. Their voices brilliantly represent the characters of the drama. It is almost unnecessary to see it, you can imagine the things taking place by carefully listening to them ... |

| 15. |  | Roberta Peters Sings Operatic Arias from Flare UK Price: $16.66 Customer Review: Although the quality is not everything you could want, this album was recorded in the 50's. It's never going to be up to today's standards. I was thrilled, however, to be able to get a CD of Roberta Peters. She is, in my opinion, the greatest of the coloratura sopranos. |

| 18. |  | The World's Greatest Tenors by Various Price: $89.95 Customer Review:  I was very pleased to purchase this set on ebay for less than $20.00. Recognize, first, that many of these are vintage recordings, with vintage sound. And, tenor fanatics will always question who are considered the world's greatest tenors. This is a seven-disc set. One disc each is given... |

| 22. | [no image] | Beethoven: Fidelio from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $14.39 Customer Review: This is a "Fidelio" quite different from but equal in performance value to the Vickers-Ludwig set or the Furtwaengler-Flagstad set. Knappertsbusch's concept of the piece is idiosyncratic but, in its own terms, as valid as Toscanini's speed-freak approach or Furtwaengler's outright romanticism.... |

| 23. |  | Verdi: La Traviata from RCA Price: $43.99 Customer Review: This is not the "best of the best" recording of this opera. It isn't even complete. To fit the time constraints of exactly 2 hours (all the radio broadcast time would allow) Toscanini had to not only increase tempi from time to time, but actually make rather drastic cuts, not only by not repeating... |

All of them recorded for RCA Victor, and this wonderful vocal bouquet is fairly representative of the singing they did during their vocal... |

| 25. |  | Zinka Milanov sings Verdi from Nimbus Records Price: $7.50 Customer Review: I am fortunate enough to have acquired most of Zinka Milanov's legendary broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera from 1940-1960. She had a gorgeous but highly individual voice, and though she sang Norma, Gioconda, Tosca, Donna Anna, Santuzza, and Madelena in "Andrea Chenier", it is for the grand... |

| 26. |  | Verdi: Te Deum/Messa Da Requiem / Nabucco / Luisa Miller/Hymn Of The Nations from RCA Price: $74.95 Customer Review: This recording of Verdi choral masterpieces is conducted by Arturo Toscanini in his old age when he was a popular American figure in the NBC radio broadcasts. He still packs a punch and the quality of this recording is terrific. On here are Sacred Pieces for chorus & orchestra and the Te Deum, a... |

| 27. |  | Gaetano Donizetti: Lucia Di Lammermoor from RCA Price: $79.99 Customer Review: The RCA Victor Label has lovingly remastered this old 1958 LP recording of Donizetti's masterpiece Lucia Di Lammermoor. It stars Roberta Peters and Jan Peerce. Adding to the already fine reviews may seem superfluous, but I can't praise this recording enough. It may be an anti-Maria Callas version of... |

| 30. |  | Ten Tenors in Love from RCA Price: $5.25 Customer Review: Since I found this CD when I typed in a search for music from the group "The Ten Tenors", I had thought it was them singing it...It isn't!! It is arias sung by leading tenors like Mario Lanza...good of course, but not what I wanted. By the way, it is number 19 on the list of CD's when you get the... |
