CD Reviews

A masterpiece compilation of Bel Canto

Fernando Navarrete | Mexico, D.F. Mexico | 11/26/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The #1 Tenor album is basically, a compilation of the most popular opera arias. But it's a must buy for two simple reasons:
For anyone who enjoys listening to classical music (specifically opera), this albums contains probably, many of the greatest male voices in opera history (we miss Enrico Caruso), such as:
Mario Del Monaco
Giusseppe Di Stefano
Jon Vickers
Plácido Domingo
Jussi Björling
José Carreras and
Luciano Pavarotti
singing arias from Il Trovatore, Rigoletto, Pagliacci, Carmen, Die Walküre, Aida, among others, plus many traditional napolitean songs as O sole mio, Torna a Sorrento and Santa Lucia. Highlights:
La donna é mobile/ Pavarotti
Le fleur que tu m'avais jetée/ Domingo
Recitar...Vesti la giuba/ Del Monaco
Winterstürme wichem dem Wonnemond/ Vickers
'O sole mio/ Pavarotti
Das Lands des Lächelns/ Domingo
Non piangere Liú/ Di Stefano
Coren'grato/ Carreras
plus many others. For all the people than is not familiarized with opera, this is a great oportunity to get to know bel canto with the greatest voices in history. For all the others, simply a must-buy."

Essential for Opera lovers

J. R. Massague | Barcelona, Catalonia | 07/02/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD shows the highest performances made ever by number one artists.Obliged to have home"

Newbie to opera, started with Josh Groban - this album rocks

Patricia A. Almlie | 09/28/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The first review for this cd was why I bought it, and I like Josh Groban's voice.

Okay I am a very new newbie to opera; I have not stopped playing this

album since it arrived. So many beautiful voices of opera star tenors

I have had a smile on my face and in my heart all day. Ladies the sound of these wonderful male voices filled with emotion gives me the chills. If you even, "think maybe" I might like opera - BUY THIS! I now want the full opera and story behind them.

And wow, I do love the Italian opera's the best. Italian language quickie course is in my future. Gosh - who knew - Try it you will like it.
