CD Reviews

A sound compilation of Verdi's famous works
G. Stewart | Chesapeake, VA USA | 05/05/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This disc, along with all of the Sony Classical catalog, has very good sound quality, little if any background noise (aside from applause at the beginning or end of a track), and very respectful interpretations of the works of a master.



Giuseppe Verdi was one of the 19th centuries most influential composers of operas and orchestrated music. Verdi's operas are very, well 'user-friendly', if you are new to opera. I am slowly learning to appreciate operas after a decade of love for classical music without vocals.



This is a very good CD for those looking to break in to operatic scores. It has large, haunting compositions for chorus, solos, duets, trios and a good mix of orchestrations with no vocals, perfectly showcasing Verdi's gift as a composer.



Performers on the album include Luciano Pavarotti, Jose Carreras, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and other well known and talented artists as well as some of the most famous, gifted and revered orchestras in the world."
