| 1. |  | The Most Famous Opera Arias from EMI Classics Price: $3.47 Customer Review:  The conductor and the singers can make a beautiful song the opera that everyone jeers and hates. To have a Russian singer doing o mio babbino caro is just plain silly...give the woman a break and play something from Russian opera...give a beautiful melodic aria to a lyrical singer like Caballe...boo... |

| 3. |  | Puccini: La Boheme (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, Anna Moffo, Antonino Votto, Chorus & Orchestra of La Scala, Milan by Giacomo Puccini Price: $21.97 Customer Review: Although I grew up with many of M.Callas recordings, it wasn't until very recently that I listened in full to her Mimi, a role she never sang onstage, unfortunately, and only learned for this recording. There are many really wonderful recordings and performances of this popular opera and of this... |

| 4. |  | The Opera Album by Luciano Pavarotti Price: $14.97 Customer Review:  I am not particularly a fan of opera but do realize it's merit. I also appreciate the talent of it's artists. This 2 disc set offers a wide, wisely chosen selection from most of the popular operas, performed by most of the world's greatest singers, present and yesteryear. Yes, you will find legends... |

| 5. |  | Puccini: Madama Butterfly / Leinsdorf, Moffo, Valletti, Elias by Maria Grazia Ciferri Price: $23.98 Customer Review: There is no reason to expect consensus on a work as richly and as often recorded as "Butterfly," but this 1957 recording (from what would become the golden era of RCA's opera catalog) is arguably one of the most complete interpretations of the work. By "complete" I refer not to the musical score... |

| 6. |  | Anna Moffo sings Massenet, Puccini, Donizetti & Verdi from Testament UK Price: $52.98 Customer Review: Another long-awaited release from the late Anna Moffo. This 2 cds set of extended exerpts from Massenet's Manon and Puccini's Manon Lescaut was originally recorded in 1963 when Moffo's voice was at its loveliest. She is absolutely delightful in both Manon, especially Massenet, and makes one regrets... |

| 7. |  | Giacomo Puccini: La Rondine by Giacomo Puccini Customer Review: Anna Moffo made so many lovely recordings in the 60's before her sudden vocal decline and hers is nearly always my preferred version, despite strong competition, of such operas as "La Traviata", "Luisa Miller" and, here, "La Rondine". She is beautifully matched with the aristocratic baritone Mario... |

| 8. |  | Humperdinck: Hänsel & Gretel from RCA Price: $23.98 Customer Review: I grew up with this recodirng on cassette and was delighted to find it available in CD - be sure to catch the great sounds of the exploding oven and the children shouting out when they come to life, great details other recordings don't have - not to mention terrific signing by all the cast. |

| 9. |  | Falstaff / Verdi, Gobbi · Schwarzkopf · Moffo · Karajan by Giuseppe Verdi Price: $14.97 Customer Review: Now that this is available in the lower-priced brown-wrapped version (shades of an old LP or even 78 sleeve), expect no less in this superb recording. The only sacrifice is the lack of a libretto -- but that's available from EMI at its website. And at this incredibly low price of about $14 (same as... |

| 10. |  | Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) - Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Anna Moffo, Giuseppe Taddei, Carlo Maria Giulini, Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus from EMI Classics Price: $14.97 Customer Review: I am a great lover of opera, and EMI's new releases seem a good value. I love "The Marriage of Figaro", and I jumped to buy this product. I am thoroughly impressed with this production. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is the best Countess I have ever heard (excepter perhaps Kiri te Kanawa). The only reason... |

| 11. |  | Opera's Greatest Moments from RCA Price: $10.98 Customer Review: This is the original cd I bought years ago that introduced me to opera. I bought another copy recently to replace the one my daughter and her boyfriend borrowed continuously. It has beautiful voices and the selections from La Boheme are as beautiful as any I have ever heard. I think if anyone is... |

| 12. |  | Canteloube: Songs of the Auvergne; Rachmaninov: Songs Op34 from RCA Customer Review: An absolutely gorgeous, heart-breaking performance by Anna Moffo of ten of the most beautiful songs in the repertoire. Her breath control is astonishing. Catapults to the top of the list of my favorite CD's. Wonderful to see it reissued after a lapse of 44 years. Sound quality is still first rate. |

| 14. |  | Rachmaninoff for Relaxation from RCA Price: $10.98 Customer Review: I bought this because I wanted the cheapest CD that had Anna Moffo's incomparably superb performance of Vocalise. (You can get a free preview of the full Anna Moffo Vocalise performance if you seach on YouTube). I just love this piece. The other Rachmaninoff selections on the CD are very good too,... |

It still has wonders in it. Moffo, though her voice is a bit too small, is intense about the text and its meaning, lyrical and moving.... |

| 16. |  | Verdi: Rigoletto from RCA Price: $13.98 Customer Review: "Rigoletto" has been well served on disc; you can go right back to the 1950 RCA Victor set with Leonard Warren, or the 1954 Cetra set with Taddei (see my review) and be very satisfied both with the sound and the superlative performances. I do not find that more recent recordings reach that standard... |

| 17. |  | Richard Strauss - Capriccio / Schwarzkopf, Wächter, Gedda, Fischer-Dieskau, Hotter, Ludwig, Moffo, Philharmonia Orchestra, Sawallisch by Richard Strauss Price: $14.97 Customer Review: Repeated evocation of the word "perfect" in descriptions of this recording convinced me to buy it, and even in the midst of such lofty praise, I was not disappointed. To the contrary; Capriccio is amongst the most incisive and beautiful operas ever crafted, combining the intelligence and... |

| 18. |  | Opera Goes to the Movies from RCA Price: $9.99 Customer Review: As the other reviewer noted, I bought my copy of this after hearing someone else's and I had to have one of my own. A great gift, too. We gave this to people for Christmas one year with a couple of DVDs of the films (Prizzi's Honor among them). Highly recommended. |

| 19. |  | Giuseppe Verdi: Luisa Miller from RCA Customer Review: This opera recording will thrill Verdi lovers, particularly those that are looking to explore his early style. If you are looking for "old school" conventions, such as the obligatory, opening chorus, and the double aria, cavatina followed by cabaletta, Luisa Miller is for you. I think this RCA... |

Everyone one. Including this Mozart opera. I only bought the cd for Schwarzkopf, but even her high talents do not offer any justification for laying out any money for this cd when you go do much much much better in buying the Bohn live 1957 with Schwarzkopf... |

| 21. |  | The World's Greatest Arias from Bmg Special Product Price: $5.49 Customer Review: I bought this cd on the basis that it lists Robert Merrill as the main performer. Actually he is featured only one time on the cd and it is in a duet. There are other performers other than those listed as well. So if you are looking for a Robert Merrill cd this is not the one to get. I consider the... |

The recording (which has excellent sound) was made in the late 50s while she was studying in Italy on a Fullbright. Her character only appears in Act I, but her singing is superb... |

Great Turandots and Calafs do not fall off of trees. Nillson and Corelli are magnificent- She is like laser with a top so large and easy it... |

I remember watching many of the programs in that time. A number of these featured operatic performance, some of which are captured on this DVD. As a result, this work is a nice historical time capsule of some of the best singers of that era. As a... |

The team of Robert Merrill and Richard Tucker worked well together in a number of operas (e.g., "La Traviata"). They also work well here. The young Anna Moffo had the proper voice for Mimi and... |
