| 2. |  | Ten Tenors in Prayer from RCA Price: $6.97 Customer Review:  The sound quality is worse than an old, scratched vinyl record. Music is boring and old. Extremely disappointing. |

| 3. |  | Camille Saint-Saëns: Samson and Delilah -- Highlights / Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky: Eugen Onegin -- Tatiana's Letter Scene from Cala Price: $15.99 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.... |

| 7. |  | Legendary Voices: Jan Peerce by Peerce Price: $17.98 Customer Review: When I was in high school, we had a friend who listened to the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts every Saturday afternoon; and, we made fun of him. Then, a few years passed; and in 1954 the Metropolitan came to our town on tour. My wife talked me into going with her. The opera was "Rigoletto," The... |

| 8. |  | Zinka Milanov sings Verdi from Nimbus Records Price: $10.98 Customer Review:  This CD represents a solid introduction to the art of Zinka Milanov, a soprano who sang from the late 1920s to her final performance in 1966. She was born in 1906 and lived until 1989. Her reputation was as a fine stylist, an intelligent singer, someone who brought emotion to her roles, and... |

| 9. |  | Voices of Living Stereo, Vol. 1 from RCA Customer Review: A wonderful collection of arias and scenes from recordings made by the wonderful artists who were Metropolitan Opera regulars in the late 1950's and early 1960's. All of them recorded for RCA Victor, and this wonderful vocal bouquet is fairly representative of the singing they did during their vocal... |

| 10. |  | Georges Bizet: Carmen (Complete Recording) by Robert Merrill Price: $35.98 Customer Review: A lot of people look for different things in Carmen. I know that this recording has zero French atmosphere, and virtually no Gallic feeling to it. I also know that a lot of subsequent Carmen recordings have these very elements that make "Carmen" truly a French opera. I am aware of such great... |

| 12. | [no image] | Beethoven: Fidelio from Deutsche Grammophon 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.... |

| 18. |  | Beethoven: Fidelio from RCA Customer Review: Toscanini's Fidelio is in a class by itself. Not only is the conducting thrilling and imbued with an authentic sense of theater, but the singing is superb. What challenges today's singers is produced here effortlessly and dramatically. Rose Bampton is a powerful, committed Leonora, Jan Peerce... |

| 20. |  | Jan Peerce Sings Songs From "Fiddler On The Roof" And Ten Classics Of Jewish Folk Song from Vanguard Records Price: $14.98 Customer Review: Never mind the songs from Fiddler, although it is interesting to hear "Sunrise Sunset" sung in Yiddish, the original cast album does a better job. However, this CD is worth having for some of the Jewish folk songs, some of which I had never heard before. "Oy a nacht..." is a beautiful song,... |

| 23. |  | Beethoven: Symphony No. 9; Missa Solemnis from RCA Price: $13.98 Customer Review: If this is improved sound, I'd hate to hear the prior recordings. Compared with a typical modern recording, it's like hearing something that was recorded from outside a concert hall through the walls. And to me the performances aren't much better; it's hard to believe these 2 Beethoven masterpieces... |

| 24. |  | Because of You from Asv Living Era Price: $11.98 Customer Review: Jan Peerce was one of the most versatile singers of the twentieth century. Not only 26 seasons as a star tenor at the Metropolitan Opera. On the concert stage, in Yiddish music and cantorial exercises, in Las Vegas, and near the end of his career as Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof." This... |

| 27. |  | Verdi: Te Deum/Messa Da Requiem / Nabucco / Luisa Miller/Hymn Of The Nations from RCA 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... |

| 29. |  | Toscanini Conducts Verdi's La Traviata from Music & Arts Program Price: $21.98 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. |

| 30. |  | Beethoven: 9 Symphonies; Missa Solemnis (Box Set) from RCA Customer Review: The Toscanini NBC recordings of Beethoven are, as they have been from their inception - the one essential set of recordings that everyone seriously interested in hearing Beethoven as this music was intended by the MASTER to sound - should own - the centerpiece of any classical collection. I used to... |
