With Love
I didn't think I'd like this CD when I received it because of the vocals. I had imagened it would have been only instrumental. When I checked out what artists were singing on it, it was like a "Who's Who" and I'm very pleased. If you want a variety of some of the greatest voices in your collection, here it is. #1..."Vesti la guibba" from I Pagliacci was very well projected by Franco Corelli. #2..."Intermezzo" from Cavalleria Rusticana was beautiful. Seemed to lift and suspend you in the air surrounded by music. It just ended too soon. #3..."Sola, perduta e abbandonata" from Manon Lescaut was clear and a little powerful at times. #4..."Una Furtiva lagrima" from L'Elisir d' Amore with Nicolai Gedda's voice seemed foirced at times but was very well done. #5..."Sempre libera" from La Traviata with Victoria De Los Angeles seemed to lound in comparison to Carlo Del Monte who appeared to be further away than ususl in this duet. #6..."Flower Duet" from Lakme'. The harmoney between these two women blended just right. Neither tried to overpower the other. #7..."O mio babbino caro" again with Victoria De Los Angeles. She hit the high notes with grace and it was conforting not to hear screeming on high notes. #8..."Questa o quella" from Rigoletto was very clear and vibrantly sung by Giuseppe Di Stefano. #9..."Nessun dorma" from Turnadot was sung with the great voice of Jose Carreras. It went along beautifully and then seemed to just end. #10...Una voce poco fa" from The Barber Of Seville sung by the great Maria Callas her voice was vibrant although at times the music overpowered her. #11..."Un bel di" from Madam Butterfly. Renata Scotto sang even the high notes delicate, yet powerful with the tragic taking place in the song and music. I felt as if I wanted to cry with her, it was so well done. #12..."Mon couer s'ouvre a ta voix" from Sampson and Dalila is sweeping and flowing like taking a journey through time and space with great tenderness of the blending of their voices, but it just ended without waraning. #13..."O soave fanciulla" from La Boheme. La Boheme the first Opera I ever purchased at 16 years old with money from my first job. Of coarse I liked this one. #14..."Ebben? Ne andro lontana" from La Wally is very moveing with Ghena Dimitrova singing in a clear voice. My first time hearing her and a pleasure. The CD ended here, like the end of a perfect day.
